Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Once there is a working framework, we can tweak or insert fuzz codes to make detection harder if not impossible. :)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

First of all, tgalal and other devs working on this, thanks a lot for your effort, great job!

Maybe I am a bit naive here, but has ever someone asked Whatsapp Inc. if they are interested in a cooperation?
I assume the only reason why there is no official app is that they think it is not worth the effort creating a Harmattan client.
If someone (e.g. one of the devs working on this port) would offer them to develop a client for them more or less for free, why would they decline this offer?
Wouldn´t this be a win-win situation?
Whatsapp would be present on another mobile platform and get more users, the devs would get all relevant information without reverse engineering and the community would get Whatsapp...

(ok, I understand the devs here might like the challenge to do it without the official support, but in the end, isn´t a full featured, nice and reliable app what we all want most? ;))

Well, this inquiry is from more than one year ago and it is regarding Maemo, not the more popular Harmattan.

And, even more important, it is, as far as I can see, not about the question if they are interested in cooperating with devs doing the development work form them...

I E-mailed them that day and I got the exact same reply from them they are totally not interested in making an N9 version which I really couldn't understand.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Did you ask if they will release a N9 version or did you ask if they are interested in a cooperation with community devs?

From a business perspective, I think there are reasons that make it totally understandable why they don't create an app for N9 themselves.
But I don't see why they would reject an offer where they would get an app more or less for free (unless there are political games going on I don't know of).

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

i mentioned cooperating with them and they sent me the exact same replay, the thing is that they seem to have a specific reply to any thing regarding the n9 as they replied me with the exact same text mentioned above more than one time with several different questions. It could be just an auto reply of some sort.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

The question is why would a developer offer them an app that he created, for free.
