You have been logged out for rusing an unofficial app

[masewo]

Hello!
I am happily using this library to send some messages and files with some of my numbers since over a year.
Yesterday I got with two of my numbers a forced logout with the message in the logs and on the phone: "You have been logged out for using an unofficial app."

Anybody also got this and maybe knows what is the reason for this?

I am on version v0.0.0-20240316104858-18372a0653fa.

[mamur-rezeki]

I experienced the same thing when using an unofficial Android application.

[BastianOrth2]

Got also Disconnect with 2 numbers, both running WA-Business

[ssteeltm]

happened here too with one number that uses business

[togume]

Did this get resolved? What was the reason for this? We're considering using this library, so curious if this will become a blocker. Thanks!

[BastianOrth2]

No, but also no further disconnects with this warning with other numbers. Used 1 of the 2 numbers again with the service and works until now, not sure if it will lead to a ban in the long run

[HoshenKadosh]

Not sending WAM data, seems to be related, i think we need to work on an implementation for this library too.
related: WhiskeySockets/Baileys#708

[purpshell]

Yes, we'll have to add WAM support here as well. Still working on the base details on Baileys, will contribute/upstream later this month

[ALiwoto]

Hi @purpshell any progress? Is there anything we can do to help?

[purpshell]

Hey! I officially started work on it

[ALiwoto]

@purpshell if you need any kind of help, do tell us!
Me and my friends really need it urgently... since our account keeps getting logged out and it's annoying...

If you also need testers (for your forked repo), you can also tell us!

[BastianOrth2]

Any update on this? Having again some troubles with ban and after contacting the support it shows again the screen of an unoffical whatsapp

Message is something like this:

Yes, this is a problem in whatsmeow, feature/wam has been opened and I will be making periodic commits to it

[PidgiFTW]

Do you have any idea why some numbers get 403 and some not? is it some actions that trigger this event?
Also, can it result in a perm ban or that updating the app resolves the issue?
