Developers behind the XMPP instant messaging ecosystem are publicly appealing for a donated iPhone, saying a used device is fine. They explain that iOS is one of the weakest links in the XMPP ecosystem and that they have struggled to find iOS testers. Owning an Apple device directly would let them test their messaging apps more effectively.

Why now: The open messaging community is discussing Apple's closed ecosystem and the difficulty of testing apps on iOS without owning a device.
