Send Multiple Messages through the Terminal with the iMessage App!

#ios #python #productivity #learning

If you would like to learn a quick and fun trick, you will need to do the following:

Get an AppleScript to be able to open the iMessage app:

on run {targetBuddyPhone, targetMessage}
    tell application "Messages"
        set targetService to 1st service whose service type = iMessage
        set targetBuddy to buddy targetBuddyPhone of targetService
        send targetMessage to targetBuddy
        send targetMessage to targetBuddy
        say targetMessage
    end tell
end run

Create a TXT file that will have some lines of text
Create a new Python file: In this python file, you will have to use two different libraries OS, & Config


import os
import config

def get_words(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
        text = f.readlines()[0]
        words = text.split()
    return words

def get_lines(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
        text = f.readlines()
    return text

def send_message(phone_number, message):
    os.system('osascript send.scpt {} "{}"'.format(phone_number, message))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #words = get_words('ly.txt')
    #for word in words:
        #send_message('6197516857', word)


    text = get_lines('ly.txt')
    for line in text:
        send_message('18012321787', line)

After that, you will have to run the script inside the terminal.
