This should have been obvious to anyone who saw the code where it simply contained the raw literal string `FAIRPLAY_PRIVATE_KEY = b64decode(“…”)`. I suppose now we’ll see how accurate the commenter’s claim “if this becomes a problem, I know how to generate new keys” is.

I might be missing it but still don’t see how that answers the question about how that repo is related to beeper mini. Did they use this directly or the same methodology?

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38531759 its OP states "A team member has published an open source Python iMessage protocol PoC on Github: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush."

Maybe there’s an easy way to just read all their replies but I see now that in the linked blog post it links https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works which goes over the technical details and mentions the python repo. Thanks

Oh, it wasn't lost among all their replies, it was in the 4th paragraph of the header text section of that Show HN post.

Beeper Mini's implementation was built on top of this repo. I'm sure it was cleaned up and modified for the production release, but the gist is largely still the same.

Thanks I see that mentioned here https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works
