We already have such https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api/blob/master/src/repositories/launcher.repository.ts It's a bit different, but exists. Do you have problems with our lib?

[block-kitty]

@dilame I too have noticed the lib stopped working sometime over the past 24hours. Client.Session.create is returning an undefined session even when the details provided are correct.

The Instagram app is not asking for any login verification either so no checkpoint is being triggered.

@liam-mulv are you using previous version or newer? I have just checked that with newer version it is possible to login instead on previous version (0.7.x) adding the same "configs" I got a SentryBlockError

@dilame I know this is the old library but I dont understand if I am missing something betweenthe new one and the old one; this is the code I have updated on old one: `Internal.launcherSync = function (session, preLogin) {

let configs = '';
console.log("launcherSync " + preLogin);
if(preLogin)
    configs = 'ig_fbns_blocked,ig_android_felix_release_players,ig_user_mismatch_soft_error,ig_android_carrier_signals_killswitch,ig_android_killswitch_perm_direct_ssim,fizz_ig_android,ig_mi_block_expired_events,ig_android_os_version_blocking_config';
else
    configs = 'ig_android_insights_welcome_dialog_tooltip,ig_android_extra_native_debugging_info,ig_android_insights_top_account_dialog_tooltip,ig_android_explore_startup_prefetch_launcher,ig_android_newsfeed_recyclerview,ig_android_react_native_ota_kill_switch,ig_qe_value_consistency_checker,ig_android_qp_keep_promotion_during_cooldown,ig_launcher_ig_explore_post_chaining_hide_comments_android_v0,ig_android_video_playback,ig_launcher_ig_android_network_stack_queue_undefined_request_qe,ig_camera_android_attributed_effects_endpoint_api_query_config,ig_android_notification_setting_sync,ig_android_dogfooding,ig_launcher_ig_explore_post_chaining_pill_android_v0,ig_android_request_compression_launcher,ig_delink_lasso_accounts,ig_android_stories_send_preloaded_reels_with_reels_tray,ig_android_critical_path_manager,ig_android_shopping_django_product_search,ig_android_qp_surveys_v1,ig_android_feed_attach_report_logs,ig_android_uri_parser_cache_launcher,ig_android_global_scheduler_infra,ig_android_explore_grid_viewpoint,ig_android_global_scheduler_direct,ig_android_upload_heap_on_oom,ig_launcher_ig_android_network_stack_cap_api_request_qe,ig_android_async_view_model_launcher,ig_android_bug_report_screen_record,ig_canvas_ad_pixel,ig_android_bloks_demos,ig_launcher_force_switch_on_dialog,ig_story_insights_entry,ig_android_executor_limit_per_group_config,ig_android_bitmap_strong_ref_cache_layer_launcher,ig_android_cold_start_class_preloading,ig_direct_e2e_send_waterfall_sample_rate_config,ig_android_qp_waterfall_logging,ig_synchronous_account_switch,ig_launcher_ig_android_reactnative_realtime_ota,ig_contact_invites_netego_killswitch,ig_launcher_ig_explore_video_chaining_container_module_android,ig_launcher_ig_explore_remove_topic_channel_tooltip_experiment_android,ig_android_request_cap_tuning_with_bandwidth,ig_android_rageshake_redesign,ig_launcher_explore_navigation_redesign_android,ig_android_betamap_cold_start,ig_android_employee_options,ig_android_direct_gifs_killswitch,ig_android_gps_improvements_launcher,ig_launcher_ig_android_network_stack_cap_video_request_qe,ig_launcher_ig_android_network_request_cap_tuning_qe,ig_android_qp_xshare_to_fb,ig_android_feed_report_ranking_issue,ig_launcher_ig_explore_verified_badge_android,ig_android_bloks_data_release,ig_android_feed_camera_latency';

var req = new Request(session)
    .setMethod('POST')
    .setResource('launcherSync')
    .setHeaders({
        'X-DEVICE-ID': session.uuid
    })
    .setBodyType('form')
    .setData({
        configs: configs
    })

if(!preLogin) {
    return session.getAccountId()
        .then(function(id) {
            return req.setData({
                id: id,
                _uuid: session.uuid,
                _uid: id
            })
            .signPayload()
            .send()
        });
}

else {
    return req.setData({id: session.uuid}).signPayload().send();
}

}`

I am reworking all of my app to use the new version but I have to solve also the problem and restart asap the bot. Can you give me any advice?

[block-kitty]

@alexgiul Seems I have not stayed up to date with the lib. My app is currently using vs (0.7.x), seems the new release is hugely different. Let me know if you are able to resolve this issue, I too will need to patch this before working on a rewrite.

[alexgiul]

@liam-mulv same thing as me

[generictitle]

I'm using the upload video functionality and cant upgrade to v1 yet, so need an interim solution until I or someone else figures out how to do video in v1, appreciate any help getting the old version working

[generictitle]

Fixed this on my local by swapping the empty configs string with this:

.setData({
    configs: 'ig_android_felix_release_players,ig_user_mismatch_soft_error,ig_android_os_version_blocking_config,ig_android_carrier_signals_killswitch,fizz_ig_android,ig_mi_block_expired_events,ig_android_killswitch_perm_direct_ssim,ig_fbns_blocked'
})

Cheers

@generictitle how do you have changed also the login part? Because the old library stops working giving "No configs given". If you havent experienced it, just remove the session cookie.

Does Anyone know what is the meaning of this "configs"?

[ishanka25]

i have faced the same issue today. was working fine. now it's giving Error: No configs given. using V0.8.15 :(

[SashaDesigN]

@generictitle Hi, where exactly in code did you changed that setConfig string?)

[generictitle]

@SashaDesigN /src/v1/internal - in the launcherSync function there's this:

const req = new Request(session)
  .setMethod('POST')
  .setResource('launcherSync')
  .setHeaders({
    'X-DEVICE-ID': session.uuid,
  })
  .setBodyType('form')
  .setData({
    configs: 'ig_android_felix_release_players',
  });

Yours may vary depending on version, but edit the string "ig_android_felix_release_players" and swap with the one I gave, or it may be an empty string, either way you should end up with:

.setData({ configs: 'ig_android_felix_release_players,ig_user_mismatch_soft_error,ig_android_os_version_blocking_config,ig_android_carrier_signals_killswitch,fizz_ig_android,ig_mi_block_expired_events,ig_android_killswitch_perm_direct_ssim,ig_fbns_blocked' })

[SashaDesigN]

@generictitle thanks it works)

Looks like we don't have any problems with this at the current moment. Feel free to tell me if I wrong and we will reopen this.
