This is just straight wrong. iMessage on android has worked by connecting to a remote Mac, which then connects to imessage. The protocol is locked to their hardware.

And, even if there was a true open source reimplimplementation of iMessage, that would say nothing about the security of Apple's proprietary implementation of the iMessage end to end encryption.
