Stuck at startup after the new update.

Hi, the app is stuck at startup after updating it to the new version(1.2.3-1). I'm using the Flatpak build from the Flathub. Fedora Linux 36 (5.19.14-200.fc36.x86_64)

Same thing here on Arch Linux (Kernel 5.19.13-arch1-1 ,flatpak release v1.2.3)

Tried erasing the ~/.var/app/com.github.eneshecan.WhatsAppForLinux/cache and nothing.

I've been testing and I didn't touch anything in the code that would cause this, the only thing I can think of is that I updated electron to the latest version.

Tried erasing the ~/.var/app/com.github.eneshecan.WhatsAppForLinux/cache and nothing.

Deleting the whole ~/.var/app/com.github.eneshecan.WhatsAppForLinux directory makes it work again :/

WhatsApp is always adding fake "bugs" to screw up these unofficial clients, like the "WhatsApp works with Chrome 60+", and now this.

I don't know what to do other than making everyone set up again their account, making the app deleting everything on update.

That worked for me!

Ok, so v1.2.3-2 now cleans the storage data before starting. This isn't the workaround I wanted, but I cannot find out anything more. Meta wins this time.
