I came to the same conclusion as Saurik, (though didn't go as far as looking up the Server and seeing it was from China).

I had hoped that I could decompile it, get the special sauce, and make a client for Qt-based OSes and also Windows Phone. Looks like I won't make any progress today

You likely won't be able to do anything at all, as the client is fairly dumb. It just takes requests from Apple's server, encrypts with CTR AES and a static key, then fires them off to the Chinese server for actual processing. Unless you want to use their server in your own application, you're just as snookered as before; you still need the secret sauce.

I'm aware of that, hence why I said I won't be making any progress. I've tried using the Mac version and iOS versions, no luck either way.

I'll try BBM too once its on Android. Trying to get it off my Z10 has proven just as difficult
