They didn't remove all OSAScript (AppleScript) functionality apparently. This tiny thing still works: https://gist.github.com/aktau/8958054.

Perhaps the OP really is talking about the Messages.app UI, but the screenshot on github imply that this is some sort of alternate UI (curses-based). Perhaps I'm misundestanding.



There is no API for Message; this github repo was scraping/scripting the Message.app GUI to create a Message command line client. OSX has removed the ability to scrape/script Messages.app GUI, so the github repo is dead in the water.


There is a scripting API and most of it still works. For instance you can do

    tell application "Messages" to send "This is an SMS" to buddy "+14155555555" of service "SMS"


I use Gammu to forward received SMS messages from a USB 3G modem to iMessage (which then appears on all my devices) -- https://gist.github.com/rcoup/93460ea39b05e957e884

Unless it's been disabled with 10.11.5 it's still working :)
