Thanks @BearOfaTime@lemm.ee for the explanation. In any case, this also shows that iMessage can be spoofed.

They just built their own ANP service to interface with GCM. I tried it, it used my existing iCloud account to send messages. Could do that if it didn’t connect to iCloud and get the RSA key. As a matter of fact, to stop using it you have to de-register your phone number from iCloud. If you read the apps or devs docs it’s all explained.
