Finally at long last, the one guide to iMessage on Android to rule them all, using Beeper Mini, the new Beeper beta app for Android, BlueBubbles, virtual machines, and so much more. This guide will take you from the beginning with no experience and give you a fully working setup with iMessage with all your other chats in Beeper. This was made in collaboration with the amazing people on Matrix chat rooms (`#beepserv:beeper.com` and `#imessage:maunium.net`) that have not only contributed to these open source projects but also made guides that have been synthesized, updated, and simplified here for you.
