Thanks for this.
After days of trial and error, I was able to solve this problem by doing two main things: 1. completely resetting imessage, and 2. resetting NVRAM.
Step 1: Resetting imessage: I logged out and completely exited the application. Then, I followed the instructions here and improvised further by clearing the entire folder ~/Library/Messages: WARNING: you will lose all your chat history/attachments/etc. Restart your computer and go straight to step 2.
Step 2: Resetting NVRAM: see here How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
I also did a hard reset on the iPhone.
Don't open messages until these steps are done.
Give this a shot and see if it helps you.
