I'm not able to download from the store about whatsapp-web-incognito HOT 33 CLOSED

Can you give more details?
Do you the same problem described above?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

I know, that's because Google took it down due to trademark infringement (starts with "WhatsApp"). I renamed the extension and re-published it but it was taken down again without explanation.

I have sent an email to the Chrome Web Store Team. hopefully they will respond quickly so I can bring it back. For now you can clone it from GitHub and install manually.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Don't you think it's just Whatsapp messing with you?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

The Chrome Web Store Takedown Notice went like

"Hi,

Google was notified that some of your materials allegedly infringe upon the trademarks of others, the details of the removed extension may be found at the end of this message.

Please note that repeated violations may result in a suspension of your Chrome Web Store Publisher account. If you have any further concerns about this issue, please address them directly to the complainant in the Trademark Infringement Notice provided.

The affected extension(s) are listed below:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whatsapp-web-incognito/dmojkdggbdjlhgmakakajjbbdibkjkgj
Regards,
The Chrome Web Store Team"

And later down in the email:

"trademark_explain: The app uses the trademarks of WhatsApp without
authorization, including but not limited to use of "WhatsApp" as the first
word in the app’s title. "

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

It seems that it was all the fault of the trademark then... I hope they solve it soon.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Uh, downloaded, installed, but nothing changes.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

From GitHub?
Did you install in developer mode and all that?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Yes, downloaded from GitHub. I dragged the folder to the extensions tab, installed, clicked the icon, whatsapp web was opened but nothing has changed.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

I just tried the extension and I think WhatsApp has changed some stuff again (that's the 4th time or so). It does block read receipts but UI elements do not always update as expected. I will have to work on it.

I do see the incognito settings, though. Do you see them?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

No, I don't see them.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Try extracting these files to a folder and load that one.

WhatsApp Web Incognito.zip

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Still nothing. The icon from Whatsapp Web Incognito shows up on the extension bar, but when I click it and loads the Whatsapp Web, there is no incognito settings.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Anthing interesting in Javascript console? I would expect some red errors there.

And I suppose you do have a file called images/incognito_gray.svg under the extension directory?

This file is the icon that should show up, and the reference to it is under styles.css:
background-image: url(chrome-extension://__MSG_@@extension_id__/images/incognito_gray.svg) !important;

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Can't find that path in styles.css. What should I do?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Don't see anything like this?

Maybe upload your styles.css so I can see what's going on.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Oh, I see now. I was looking in the styles from the Whatsapp web page. LOL

So, yeah, there is a background-image: url(chrome-extension://__MSG_@@extension_id__/images/incognito_gray.svg) !important; in styles.css

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

OK, then, and you do have an actual images/incognito_gray.svg file, right? The manifest.json should also have the line
"web_accessible_resources": ["lib/drop/drop.js", "lib/sweetalert/sweetalert.min.js", "core/*", "images/*" ] in the end.

But this all sounds a bit strange. I would try googling around and playing with paths related stuff. I will try to investigate this further after fixing the new bug I found (caused by WhatsApp Web moving to React.js 16.0)

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Update:
Google told me to contact WhatsApp, and WhatsApp told me that the name shouldn't include the word "WhatsApp". Will be fixed.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

same problem.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

The extension with the changed name was rejected again (trademark stuff).
Please use the version from GitHub manually (in developer mode) until WhatsApp will respond.

If this doesn't work, please let me know. I'm doing whatever I can to bring it back.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

github version don't working dear.

How can I get in contact with you for a project?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

working dear, very good.

and send websocket message, image ?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Wait, is the extension working for you?
If it does, What was the problem?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Alright, this start to be frustrating.
WhtsApp is not very clear as to what exactly is the problem with the extension.
I'm not even sure they're the cause for the extension being taken down.
If nothing changes soon, I'm going to consider re-publishing as a new item.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

It's working ok here. There is any chance that you can remove the notification on phone that "Whatsapp web is currenctly active"?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Good to hear the extension is working for you.
Unfortunately I think the "Whatsapp web is currenctly active" is the result of the connection itself and not a packet that is blockable. I'm not sure about it because it would take some time to catch it and investigate this.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

It's okay, no need all this work. Thanks for your extension.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

It just stopped working.
https://prnt.sc/itkick
And everything I refresh, I get the same error.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Will look at that as soon as I can.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Okay, I just tested it and the extension is working fine for me.
What errors do you see in the javascript console?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Update

Google finally agreed to publish this extension as a new item live in the store, right here, under the name WAIncognito.
