Hi, thanks for joining! Some questions:
1) It appears that the iMessage responses received from Apple's servers are forwarded as-is to a remote server for decoding and decryption. Is this correct? If so, why isn't this process performed in the application itself?
2) Now that you've clearly reverse-engineered the iMessage protocol, will you be publishing it so that others can benefit from interoperability? If not, why not?
Do you think your app can be blocked by Apple?
Why did you use Apple's graphics instead of your own? It will make it easier for Apple to have your app taken down.
Awesome work so far. I think I speak for everyone here when I say we can't wait to see if you publish the protocol specs; everyone's hands are itching :)
