{loqui im} {whats app} {firefox os 1.3} Loqui im v.05.17 can not verify from sms or phone call

[muradaliev]

can not verify from sms or phone call.

[hstarmans]

I can confirm. I could also not activate a new number on ubuntu phone with loqui v.05.17

I have the same problem with v0.5.17

[hstarmans]

I think it is related to this; The support for S40 devices, which use protocol v1, will be discontinued by WhatsApp by July 30 (?). Part of this migration is the so called "noise protocol" and an Android 4+ UserAgent.
Loqui IM does not use the noise protocol. Does loqui use a backend which is based on https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup !? This is a Python library which is used by companies to sent clients information via whatsapp.

I really don't know a thing about coding, whis that I could help.

Can anybody contact some developer?

[Honk2]

Loqui uses mozillahispano/coseme and joebandenburg/libaxolotl-javascript.
The issue is that loqui is a HTML5/javascript application. Thus we need a javascript implementation of the noise framework. As far as I know, this does not exist up to now.

[03927e9c]

So that means it can't be fixed?

[hstarmans]

It can be fixed; information on the noise protocol is here .
There is a library in C, GO, Haskell, Rust and Java. I think what needs to be done is build a wrapper in Javascript using a library such as node-ffi for the c library of the noise protocol.

@hstarmans Thanks for this nearly concrete hint! If you know more about it, please let us know or even help us in getting this working. For now we don't have any idea.

[hstarmans]

I also don't have a real idea.
I have looked at Yowsup but they also rely on something named axalot; python-axolotl.
I will post a question in Yowsup and ask if they already use the Noise protocol. The only info from whatsapp I could find is here .
They didn't solve it either.

Hello!

I installed version 0.5.17 and did not verify by sms or phone call.

How can I check it? Do I have to wait for the next update?

Thanks in advance.

[hstarmans]

Hey there!
I have some bad news. As far as i know it does not work at the moment. There are issues; this could be due to the noise protocol but I am not sure.

Hi,
I have just checked the new version 0.5.19 and it does not work.
SMS never arrives and error displays:

SMS could not be sent
{{SMSreason_undefined}}

The same for call verification.

(I Can compile new versions if you need)

Regards.

[03927e9c]

@jcerdan Mine worked.

[jcerdan]

I'm using Firefox 2.0. May be that's the difference.
I have compiled and tried the compiled version. Both return the same error.
