[BUG] Failure to Connect After Scanning QR Code

[AbhishekSuresh2]

Bug: I M using this WhiskeySockets library for a long time without encountering this error, but it occurred unexpectedly today.

Sample Code Of Qr:

import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason, BufferJSON, useMultiFileAuthState } from '@whiskeysockets/baileys'
import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'

async function connectToWhatsApp () {
    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')

    const sock = makeWASocket({
        auth: state,
        printQRInTerminal: true, 
    });

    sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)

    sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
        const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
        if (connection === 'close') {
            const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect?.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
            console.log('Connection closed due to', lastDisconnect?.error, ', reconnecting', shouldReconnect)
            if (shouldReconnect) {
                connectToWhatsApp() // Reconnect if necessary
            }
        } else if (connection === 'open') {
            console.log('Opened connection')
        }
    });

    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', m => {
        console.log("Message Received: " + m.messages[0].key.remoteJid);
    });

}

connectToWhatsApp()

To Reproduce:

1. Create a new connection.
2. Scan the QR code.
3. Observe the connection failure.

Expected Behavior: After scanning the QR code, the connection should be established successfully, allowing communication with WhatsApp.

Environment:

• Running on a local machine.
• connectOptions:
  • makeWASocket({ auth: state, printQRInTerminal: true, });
• No multiple clients on the same IP.
• Not using a proxy.

Additional Context:

• The issue occurs consistently, leading to a failure to establish a connection with WhatsApp.
• The behavior was observed while attempting to connect to WhatsApp using the Baileys library.
• The code logic is correct, but the connection fails after scanning the QR code.

[hamidsaifi77]

After noticing several people reporting issues with their devices not connecting or getting disconnected, I experienced the same problem. However, after updating the WhatsApp mobile app and increasing the resources of my server, the issue was resolved for me. While it's possible that you may be facing a different problem, I suggest trying these steps if you haven't already, as they provided a solution for me.

Thanks

Tested yesterday logging in multiple times on both ios and android (normal & business) with no issue. Region related / specific host platform or just outdated software as mentioned on here?

I think only Indian numbers/accounts are facing this issue rn. Tested on other regions, no issues! Seems strange :/

Yes true, just tested it after your message. Indian numbers not working. Other country's numbers working fine.

Meta has started to fight against unofficial libraries I guess. The starting may be from India as there are a major no. of Indian users. Edit: It's just my assumption, I'm not a piro!

Yes, that's right, I agree with this, because I tried it in another region and it still runs smoothly as it should

I do not have access to an Indian number at the moment so I cannot test myself. I asked around from few people and they did not have any problems with Indian numbers? Have you tested another host and are you using official wa on device that is not unlocked etc?

[bentacos]

according to one of my users, it worked again after clearing the data of the WhatsApp app. im not able to confirm it tho.

Hey, after testing with multiple devices i found that the issue seems with the ip address when anyone uses Indian number with a new ip it works fine. As you mentioned that you dont have Indian number access i can help you to have one to test it and solve the problem for the world. I had one more question i used the proxy url in order to connect baileys however i was not getting the connection done using proxy i wonder why.

It works in other PC, also it works in browser from that PC too. Only baileys doesn't work. Tried official android Whatsapp normal beta and iphone whatsapp business.

I see this issue only in baileys library other library working 100% perfectly i tested on 3 other scripts not using baileys. So no whatsapp server side filter or country restriction or planning to stop unofficial whatsapp etc. Let's wait for baileys master mind to resolve this.

Hi, I guess there is one other reso left which is which is working fine I have used that too. Do you know any other library which is working fine and not using the puppeteer.

[dsusoftech]

Temporary solution: downgrade to Baileys v5.0.0

Procedure to downgrade if you are using Arrocy Whatsapp Gateway:

1. download https://registry.npmjs.org/@adiwajshing/baileys/-/baileys-5.0.0.tgz
2. upload to Arrocy Whatsapp Gateway node server root, extract, you will get a new folder "package"
3. rename original "Baileys" folder to "Baileys-v6.6.0" (just for back up if you want to change back)
4. rename "package" folder to "Baileys"
5. restart nodejs
6. Done!
