iOS 8 whatsapp bug found

Notifications

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

Don't seem to overwrite it to me...I still have old version and the beta installed in new page. And no notifications...

Think that only works if you're on the beta with whatsapp. If you're not and you're resigning the beta, it probably treats it as a different app? Not sure tho.
 
I'm not inside the whatsapp beta group. I resigned the whatsapp beta 2.11.2504 and copied it to iTunes. The app on my library was overwritten und the beta copied to my iPhone.

I'll try that...and let you know


Nothing to do?! Even installing it over iTunes and overwriting the original in the library when syncronising puts a new icon and app.

Working fine for me. I had the production app installed and working until I've received the damned message with a "ff"... Installed the beta version and everything is working fine, even notifications.

I'll post more once I find anything different.

Cheers!

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!

My phone shows up in Devices, but not the Organizing window. Weird...

[Edit] Figured it out. haha. The new xCode moved some stuff around. Works for me! Thanks!

I get the cert from dev center. The only thing I don't get right is the provisioning profile. Can someone explain how to get it? As I see, I have to create an appID first and then assign it to the provisioning profile?
Which profile type should I choose?

In the dev centre, click on Distribution Profile option under Profiles ... If you have none, create new and select the new cert that you created , then download this and use this profile and cert combo

I do think the same too. However people of WhatsApp, which is probably monitoring this thread, should allow us to keep updating our betas because the more beta testers using by their own and reporting bugs, the better the app will be. Pretty stupid to cut off the beta seeding.

Yeah, WhatsApp developers need to wait until it's released publicly before they can submit iOS8 apps to the store.

Or it could be just a glitch caused by iOS 8 being beta and will work fine in GM. Had this happen with other apps in previous betas. Issues in beta, then fine in GM with no update to the app.
