After updating to macOS Sequoia I cannot send or receive iMessages on my MacBook Air. I have made sure Text Message Forwarding is turned on on my iPhone, I have checked to make sure the time and date are accurate, I have signed out of the Apple Account on iMessages on my Mac and signed back in... I have done all the troubleshooting I can and still nothing is working. It is only since updating to the "new" macOS that I have experienced this issue.

That means you're trying to send to a non Apple device.

This is for iPhone but the principle applies: https://www.rd.com/article/why-are-my-texts-green/
