I have a really strange issue with iMessage.
I can send iMessage messages (Blue texts) to any of my contacts who use iMessage but I can't neither send nor receive SMS texts messages (Green texts) on my Hackintosh. The funny thing is the Text Forwarding option on the iPhone has vanished and still the SMS text messages show up on my iPad.
I don't know what the problem might be but I changed from iMac 17,1 to iMac Pro 1,1 to enable Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and etc.
From 2017 to around 2019 was when I started using my hackintosh with the 17,1 smbios and every aspect of iMessages used to work perfectly. Then I switched to iMac Pro 1,1 smbios to enable Netflix around the end of 2019 and since then iMessages works but only lets me send iMessage texts (Blue texts) and not SMS texts (Green texts). Yesterday I tried everything to get the green texts to show up on my hackintosh and also to bring up the Text Forwarding option on my iPhone. Finally after multiple tries of login in and out of everything and switching back to my iMac 17,1 smbios (after deleting all the necessary files mentioned on this guide) initially the SMS texts weren't working but I contacted Apple Support regarding the Text Forwarding issue ONLY and abruptly ended the conversation and then after a restart or two, voila it started working. Finally back to full functionality or so I thought. The Text Forwarding option was still not available on my iPhone.
Then thinking that everything is finally working, I reverted back to my iMac Pro 1,1 smbios (after removing traces of imessgae and iCloud files that are mentioned on this guide) and back to square one it was. Again it stopped working. Then I spent more than an hour texting with apple support and that lead to nothing.
My first course of action is to call apple support up and get the Text Message Forwarding Option show up on my iPhone but after that what should I do?
Should I revert back to 17,1 sans no DRM playback OR try and generate more smbios variables for 1,1 (but my fear is that of my iCloud account getting blacklisted or even loosing full iMessage support and being unable to sign on to iMessage on my Hackintosh at all)?
My specs:- Intel i5 6402p
RX 580 Sapphire Pulse
Samsing 960 Pro NVME
Gigabyte B150M-D3H
TLDR;
Blue messages work but green texts don't work on my iMessage app on hackintosh iMac Pro 1,1 and Text Message forwarding option has disappeared from my iPhone but still both green and blue texts sen and receive on my iPad.
Please let me know what is the best course of action.
