Cannot login with the new whatsapp multi device update

I am not clear on why this is not working, Let me explain what I understood.

  • With the new multi-device web login feature, WhatsApp now needs a series of 2QR codes to be scanned to log in.
  • After the first QR is scanned, it just waits

Another issue

  • Somehow once I scanned the QR code, the program exited saying that connection_data["phone"] was not found.
  • Because now in the new beta, after scanning we just get connection_data as a simple object with the WhatsApp web version and nothing more.

I can confirm that there is a new authentication mechanism for WhatsApp Web and that it hasn't been implemented in kyros yet. The connection_data['phone'] issue is related to #19. I believe that it is also related to this issue.

I am sorry that you don't get what you expected with this project. But, lately I've been very time-constrained and I can't dedicate my time to this project. It also looks like that the other maintainers are the same as me (#20). I am currently planning to archive this project as it is no longer functional anymore.

If you think that you can wire up something or revive this project in any way, feel free to ask me that you want to become a collaborator.
