WADark for Mac does not work on Whatsapp version 0.4.1299

[rarmellini]

After running the script, it keeps asking me to update whatsapp desktop, although I am already on the latest version.

Have the same issue, tried installing it with the web GUI v0.4.930 but it didn't work.

Macbook Pro 13" 2019
Catalina 10.15.3

Are you guys getting this error on console: Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink ... ?

Try running with sudo, worked for me.

Didn't get any error. Script ran smoothly. However, when I kick off whatsapp desktop, it throws a message saying that I need to update and never goes beyond that point. What version of whatsapp are you running?

just ran with sudo, worked perfectly

@rarmellini

0.4.930

Seems like you aren't on the latest.

Are you sure you are not using the appstore whatsapp?

Damn, accidentally upgraded to version 4.1300, the script now doesnt work at all.

It's working for me as you can see below:

just change permissions (a+x) and execute as root.

Hi @SantiagoITHS,
This error has occurred because another instance of the installer is running in the background. Please close them before you start a new install. It's not related to your WA build at all.

@rarmellini You seems to be on an older version of WhatsApp desktop. Please try reinstalling the latest version. No one else is reporting this issue.

@gferreroferri Just tested on WhatsApp 1302, works perfectly. Just run the WADark script with sudo.

Works for me on version 1307.
