As much as I want it to he open source what could the risks be of apple finding a way to patch any exploits by looking at the open source code

I believe it’s a system that uses an actual Mac as a server for relay. Not really a way for them to stop that, and I doubt they care that much since it requires someone to have a Mac.

That's how Beeper works. Beeper Mini doesn't do that and instead imitates the Mac software, which is why Apple broke it.
