It's a problem with the user agent. What solved it was to change line 82 of the AppDelegate.m file from
_webView._customUserAgent = @"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.75.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.3 Safari/7046A194A";
to
_webView._customUserAgent = @"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/601.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0 Safari/601.1.50";
Then you simple compile the app again. Hope it helps.
(Thanks for the app!)
I have submitted a pull request with a fix, but yes, all you have to do is update the user agent:
#41
Sorry can anyone help me, where to find the AppDelegate.m? :)
@xopiwoxo it's in the source code. Open Xcode, add this github address to " a new project from a scm repository", change the line in AppDelegate.m and just hit CMD+B to build the corrected app. Else, just wait a couple of hours till the developer fixes the issue and issue a new precompiled binary that you can download.
Anyone able to zip up their recompile and post?
Hm, I am unable to expand that archive. :(
second that

Hrmm, odd - updated with new link that should work: https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/7809/170737/k6PsgbkD1QqXKjP/ChitChat.app.zip
Works, thank you so much! :) ("Works" means I can open the app and use WhatsApp Web)
Now I am getting the following notification when I am trying to start the app:
“ChitChat.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
Works for me thanks!
I've the same issue
“ChitChat.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
Same issue as @fightbulc & @endyasr.
On the "is damaged and can’t be opened" error ... just try
chmod +x ChitChat.app/Contents/MacOS/ChitChat
in your applications directory.
Works!
No luck. Still the same error. Running Yosemite if that matters.
Works for me! OS X 10.10.5.. Thanks guys! =)
@fightbulc
Just try it again ... i can't tell you why, but i had to download the .zip again, removed the .app directory and started over. For everybody in doubt: the md5 sum of the .zip working for me is 9280f2c18edb9d1b4442314cd98e7d7d.
Sorry for the dumb question, but how does it work?
"On the "is damaged and can’t be opened" error ... just try
chmod +x ChitChat.app/Contents/MacOS/ChitChat
in your applications directory."
@fenomeno0chris
Long: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions
Short: All files have attributes. One of them is if you can execute them. If you open the ChitChat.app osx application, in fact you open ChitChat.app/Contents/MacOS/ChitChat ... its kind of a shortcut. chmod +x
markes the file as executable.
“ChitChat.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
Did chmod +x ChitChat.app/Contents/MacOS/ChitChat
Also deleted everything (incl. clearing trash) but to no avail.
El Capitan 10.11 bèta (15A262e)
Just FYI. I can wait for El Capitan compatible release of course.
no working also with chmod. Yosemite 10.10.5
@wrow the issue concerns if you allow apps to run which are not from the app store or from identified developers. Settings > Security > Allow apps downloaded from...
If chmod is not working, try
xattr -rc ChitChat.app
It should work fine (works for me on Yosemite 10.10.5)
It works!!
xattr -rc ChitChat.app
Worked here with @navgarcha build! (Yosemite 10.10.5)
Working fine now. It has a pop-up message asking for a different browser for full media capabilities, but that's OK.
Hello and Merry Christmas!
I have noticed that when i connect through the QR code, ChitChat says i should use chrome or firefox to use all the feature of whatsapp, so i think ChitChat is automatically using Safari to connect to WhatsappWeb.
How can I change the ChitChat default browser from Safari to Chrome? (Chrome is already my default browser in OS X El Capitan)
Thank you for your time and work.
You can't. It's a WebView element, which uses the native OS engine that's
essentially Safari. Just ignore the warnings and it will work with most
features.

I guess it can easily be fixed by modifying https://github.com/stonesam92/ChitChat/blob/master/WhatsMac/AppDelegate.m#L101 to version 9.0?
This project could need some more maintainers though, seems like nothing has been updated/merged for a while :(
Thank you guys
