Feat: Support for WhatsApp Business (iPhone only) #60

Closed andrp92 closed 9 months ago

Hello there, @KnugiHK!

I've come across a truly fascinating project—kudos to you! Recently, I encountered a situation where I needed to create a local backup of my WhatsApp business account. Upon exploring the project, I discovered that it didn't quite support this functionality out of the box. However, I took the initiative to tweak a few elements, and voilà, it's now functioning seamlessly.

Feeling quite satisfied with the results, I've decided to take things a step further and collaborate with you on this. I've already initiated a pull request. If there are any suggestions or adjustments you'd like me to implement, please don't hesitate to share. I'm more than willing to lend a hand and make this project even better. Looking forward to working together!

Btw, I don't have myself an Android device so I didn't even attempt to implement this for Android. I might need a little help there.

Although the PR does not work for encrypted backup, unencrypted backup should be fine.

I refactored the code a bit. Try again to see if it works for WhatsApp Business in iOS.

PS. I also changed the option from --smb to --business for a more straightforward presentation.

@KnugiHK Loved the way you implemented identifiers. It's a lot cleaner and easier to maintain that way 🙌

@KnugiHK it did work as expected 🚀. However, there's a weird WhatsApp message that I hadn't seen before: Screenshot 2023-09-11 at 6 30 32 PM

Can you check what that message is in WhatsApp?

Those are old messages that seems to have corrupted when I migrated from android version of WB with a third party application long time ago. New messages (generated on the iPhone) are intact and showing correctly.

Shall we consider it as not related to this PR?

Not at all. That's a corner case that's outside of this module scope.
