Unable to get uuid, password

Followed the guide: https://github.com/signalstickers/signalstickers-client#uploading-a-pack

Broken recently after update

See https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/main/ts/windows/main/start.ts

if (!isProduction(window.SignalContext.getVersion())) {
  const SignalDebug = {
    Data: window.Signal.Data,
    getConversation: (id: string) => window.ConversationController.get(id),
    getMessageById: (id: string) => window.MessageController.getById(id),
    getReduxState: () => window.reduxStore.getState(),
    getSfuUrl: () => window.Signal.Services.calling._sfuUrl,
    getStorageItem: (name: keyof StorageAccessType) => window.storage.get(name),
    putStorageItem: <K extends keyof StorageAccessType>(
      name: K,
      value: StorageAccessType[K]
    ) => window.storage.put(name, value),
    setFlag: (name: keyof FeatureFlagType, value: boolean) => {
      if (!has(window.Flags, name)) {
        return;
      }
      window.Flags[name] = value;
    },
    setSfuUrl: (url: string) => {
      window.Signal.Services.calling._sfuUrl = url;
    },
  };

Hence, the alternative method is to download Signal Beta version (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta) and use: window.SignalDebug.getReduxState().items.uuid_id

window.SignalDebug.getReduxState().items.password

Note: For beta version, no need to launch with --enable-dev-tools

However, would there be any way to get uuid_id and password from production version?

With my limited javascript knowledge, I think it is related to these commits:

• https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/9374832ea486af4555718043aa418e8fb69786da (Use ContextIsolation, causing us unable to access reduxStore) [https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/context-isolation]
• https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/86488b97b9ab19b7dcf8ef49a2da3e073d94d200 (Exposes SignalDebug with ContextBridge, making above possible)

@sweetgiorni Have you read what I wrote?

To quote what I have wrote:

Edit: I see what you mean now, your solution is better

Hi, thanks for the library!

Does anybody know how long these credentials are valid and can be used without refreshing?

Thanks

Thanks a lot @sweetgiorni ! I've added your video to the README and clarified the instructions.

No idea, sorry.
