Sunbird is shutting down its iMessage app for Android (www.theverge.com)

• Sunbird, the iMessage app for Android, has temporarily shut down due to "security concerns" surrounding its end-to-end encryption. • Reports suggest that Sunbird may not have actually provided the promised level of encryption and was storing data externally. • The app was recently pulled from the Google Play Store and the company has yet to comment on the shutdown.

Yeah, but at least they've proven to be worthy of trust (contribute a lot to FOSS, offer ways to host your own iMessage server, warn about the insecurity). Sunbird has done the opposite.
