(WIP / Proof of concept) WhatsApp Web version selection

Open pedroslopez opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Description

A proof of concept to enable loading a specific whatsapp web version. This would also mean we can target a specific whatsapp web version with a specific library version, solving our issues with having to always play catch up with WhatsApp whenever they make breaking changes.

This works by retrieving the index.html from a remote cache (which references a specific entrypoint). WhatsApp keeps old cached JS files in their CDN for a long time, so replacing the index works even after they've released new versions.

When the session opened in the latest version and I switch to an older version (e.g. 2.2245.9 to 2.2244.6) a database error occurs and it goes to the QR screen, sometimes when I clear the cache before downgrading it seems to work

Yep, I've seen that as well. Some updates make changes to the database that can't be reversed, so downgrading will most likely not be explicitly supported. This would mostly be useful for deciding when to update and making sure that everything is functional and compatible with the new version before everyone updating.
