Hey guys,

I created the original fix.

And now I share another way to use whatsapp web on nativefier. No code injection required.

Pressing ctrl+shift+i (on Linux) and the Devtools window will open. Then click on Application -> Service Workers And check the option Bypass for network.

Now press ctrl+r to reload. And ctrl+shift+i to close the Devtools.

Whenever you open your whatsapp the problem will occur, but since the Bypass for network option has already been enabled, you only need to press ctrl+shift+i (open devtools), ctrl+r (reload), ctrl+shift+i (close devtools)

@frealgagu, thanks for your work. This package was in my list as one of required apps to be installed after install Arch. I saw your last update ( document.querySelector("a[href='https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414']") ), NICE/GREAT/GOOD!

Another way to do the same in 2 lines: document.querySelector("a[href='https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414']") && navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistration().then(r => r.unregister() && document.location.reload());

To all of those having the "Safari needs update" issue, I did the following and worked just fine:

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + i (on Linux) and the Devtools window will open.
  2. Then click on Application -> Service Workers
  3. Uncheck the option Bypass for network.
  4. Ctrl + R (refresh)
  5. Repeat but this time CHECK Bypass for network
  6. Ctrl + R (refresh) one more time

TLDR; Toggle "Bypass for network" and refresh every time

I checked the repo and did this: "Switch user agent to "firefox", which selects the latest stable release of that browser (https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/blob/HEAD/API.md#user-agent)"

This fixed the old version message!

@MALRAT great solution!

For me the problem was not solved by just rebuild the application with updated user agent string.

To finally fix it I needed to clear the application cache data.

Open whatsapp-nativefier app. Press Shift-Ctrl-I, go to the Application tab, Storage menu item, uncheck all the checkboxes except "Cache storage" and click "Clear site data" button. After this press Ctrl-F5.

The application is not loosing the login data and just reloads the UI and starts to work.

So, oddly enough - I tried updating the user agent string on both my desktops. One it worked, other I still get the Safari 11+ needed when I restarted it. On that one, I then opened dev tools and did a refresh and... it opened fine. Maybe a local cache issue ?

In my /opt/whatsapp-nativefier/resources/app/nativefier.json file on Manjaro, I have:

"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.4 Safari/605.1.15"

And it's not working...

@TiuTalk solution worked for me, but remember you need to clean and build the previous installation.

I was able to temporarily fix the "Safari needs update" problem by editing the PKGBUILD:

yay -S --editmenu whatsapp-nativefier

And changing the --user-agent param to use a more recent Safari UA:

--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 12_4) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.4 Safari/605.1.15"
