Could you build this?
No Direct programmatic iMessage integration and reverse engineering Apple's APNs/IDS protocols requires deep cryptographic and Apple private framework reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: A true iMessage service requires reverse engineering Apple's Push Notification service (APNs) and Identity Services (IDS), handling SRP authentication, FairPlay DRM tokens, and Apple hardware registration, or running an automation harness on macOS with Accessibility APIs. This requires deep Apple reverse-engineering expertise or dedicated macOS hardware server farms.
