"iMessage" is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. in the United States and other countries. "iMessage Chat" violates this trademark. Infringement of intellectual property, such as trademarks, is prohibited by the Google Play Developer Terms Of Service. There is nothing arbitrary about this.

The app also used the iMessage icon from Apple.

Other apps (e.g. Whatsapp) use the same emojis.

How do they not get hit with C&Ds?
