iOS 8 whatsapp bug found

ios8 issues

whatsapp is crashing when posts are in pics/different languages other than english.

it does not show pics following the text in facebook.

unable to adjust volumn using original iphone headsets when using youtube.
 
I have tried to follow the process in order to get WhatsApp running again. Unfortunately the signing of the App fails because I get the error message that the provisioning profile I have created does not match the product identifier. Can anyone please let me know the correct settings for the provisioning profile.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you are signing with the Distribution certificate and not the developer one ... Also if you are running the OS X beta also then best to create using the manual method and not Xcode beta
 
New Beta of WhatsApp

Hey guys, how can I have the latest beta of WhatsApp? They updated it on their website and I want to learn how to download it to my computer to sign the ipa.
 
Download stalls abruptly at 43.1/2/3 MB. Trying for an hour and same thing repeating over and over. :( Could someone please get me a link that works?

You can't simply install it. It requires a mobile provision certificate from the developers which you don't have. So you'll have to resign it with you're own certificate. Then you can install and use it

For all you "supposed Devs" :rolleyes: here are the instructions :-

1. Using XCode, login into your Developer Account and create a provisioning profile (this will generate certificates as well) ...
2. Download the iOS Distribution certificate and the profile from dev portal
3. Double click the certificate to install it into Keychain

Download the beta ipa : https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6tooyh15td82uc/WhatsApp-beta.ipa

Steps to resign :-
1. unzip WhatsApp-beta.ipa
2. rm -r "Payload/Application.app/_CodeSignature" "Payload/Application.app/CodeResources" 2> /dev/null | true
3. cp "YOURFILE.mobileprovision" "Payload/Application.app/embedded.mobileprovision"
4. codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Certificate Name" --resource-rules "Payload/Application.app/ResourceRules.plist" "Payload/WhatsApp.app"
5. zip -qr "WhatsApp-resigned.ipa" Payload

In #3 above, replace YOURFILE.mobileprovision with the yours which you downloaded
In #4 above, replace the Certificate Name with yours as shown in Keychain

Connect your iPhone to computer. Open Organizer in XCode from 'Window' menu. Select the phone and click "Use for development" .. this will copy over the provisioning profile to the phone.

Under same phone selection, select Applications and click + at bottom. Select the resigned ipa file and let it copy over.

Note that you should have production Whatsapp already installed and working so that the beta upgrades it. Otherwise you will not get working notifications.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for this guide - I'm back up and running again. :cool:

Taken your work around a step further so you don't have to manually rerun your fix everytime someone sends you one of these combinations again.

Code: 
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Ff AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN 
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE 
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'ff', 'f f')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%ff%';
END;
 
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Fi AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN 
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE 
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fi', 'f i')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fi%';
END;
 
CREATE TRIGGER insert_Fl AFTER INSERT ON ZWAMESSAGE
BEGIN 
  UPDATE ZWAMESSAGE 
  SET ZTEXT = replace( ZTEXT, 'fl', 'f l')
  WHERE ZWAMESSAGE.ZTEXT like '%fl%';
END;

wanted a quick fix and it works well for me but if you can improve it fork away https://gist.github.com/jonathan-wheeler/0f8235f5904365e3c75a

Forked jonnywheel2's SQL and added fallback script, and improved the speed of it. Thanks jonnywheel2.

Hi,

do push Notifications work for you on iOS 8 and whatsapp Beta?
Click to expand...

I was able to install it, and came here to post the same thing.. I think i had same problem with that old beta version and even this one has push notification problem.

I think since we signing our own certificate push notification might not work..

Push notifications sporadically work for me. It's a pain. Mostly the issue I'm facing is most the time it locks up in settings page at launch.

Push notify work like a charm for me. For the launch bug.. I've got that sometimes. To solve, start en immediately tap Chats. It will switch to chats and won't hang :)
