From a business perspective, I think there are reasons that make it totally understandable why they don't create an app for N9 themselves.
But I don't see why they would reject an offer where they would get an app more or less for free (unless there are political games going on I don't know of).
I guess from Whatsapp's point of view the business from Harmattan may not be worth the support services required. Porting their app is not the stumbling block. They may have limited resources to support too many platforms. Whatsapp has also refused to port to Bada.

By writing "more or less free" I was trying to indicate that, in case of a cooperation, both parties would have to give (and get) something.
E.g. the dev could benefit from being mentioned in the about of the app, getting easy access to all relevant information, access to testing and marketing resources, legally using trademarks, logos etc., more confidence that the app won´t be blocked one day...you name it, it just a matter of how the deal is negotiated...

Anyway, as in this case both parties seem to be not interested in a cooperation, this discussion is pointless here ;-)
And, if we get Whatsapp in the end, I do not care how :D
Please keep up your great work here, tgalal!

Guys please take the conversational talk to another thread. These posts keep getting in the way of keep trying to keep up to speed with dev work.

Anyway TGALAL if you need a hand with creating a quick GUI for this give me a shout. My QML skills have improved recently.

Sorry but I'm just curious if the function of media sharing (ie. sending photos & videos) would be inclusive for this project.

Well this is not priority for the first release, but it will eventually be added.

What I need help in is how to use the Accounts manager. I've been searching for quite sometime and I think there is not a single helpful documentation out there on how to write an accounts plugin! Anyone familiar with those stuff?

You can ask Coderus, author of Extraplugins

Don't speak to anyone but coderus about this. This is his specialty.

Is the function "last seen" & "online" going to be included in this project?

Also for all the people who view this post every single day and praying... any idea as to when the project is likely to be completed?

check my extraplugins sources on git: https://gitorious.org/extraplugins
it working with Accounts and Telepathy::Accounts. I hope it will be helpful for you.

Yeah it is! I've been looking at it for the past 2 or 3 hours and I've learned a lot from those plugins. Thanks!.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 
So now that I'm able to create accounts via C++, here goes a quick question: Is the accounts framework accessible through python too?

tgalal 2012-03-11 20:27
Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 
Ok found python-accounts, but:

Code:
>>> from Accounts import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Accounts.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8Shiboken6Module6importEPKc
on scratchbox. It works fine on the device though.

Edit: Updated pyside on scratchbox and now it works :)

I belive it can only be used via Qt and glib. Btw, for the N9 version I would recommend looking into libsignon for stuff like credential checking/verification code entering if you have that. One mistake I made when making a Steam account plugin was making the account plugin do too much work beyond just being a UI.

The Harmattan world waits with bated breath for this project. It's been talked about in many other MeeGo forums.

This app will take the Harmattan World by storm!

TGALAL, I know you have absolutely no obligation to give us any progress report but how about just a few words on how close you are?

nokiac 2012-03-15 02:43
Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 
I am actually waiting for this app to start using Whatsapp, as I have an N8 and I keep alternating between N9 and N8, I want be able to use WA all the time.

Great going by TGALAL :D

BTW: Sorry for this OT post, I just thought I should provide some encouragement for the dev.

almamo 2012-03-15 07:25
Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 
@all the ones asking for the app; Please be more patient ;) We all are eager to see what this project will look like - people who need WhatsApp and those who are interested in how it's done.

This is a free-time development and I'm sure tgalal (and co?) have all the motivation to work on that. We already got MORE informations about it than expected and even a confirmation that it likely will be a fully usable WhatsApp client.

If there is something the developer(s) want to share they'll do that. This isn't the forum or thread to ask such things + if there are news I'm sure you'll find it very fast on several blogs, twitter etc...

Enjoy the time on N9 where you don't get spammed with tons of messaged by bored Whatsapp users day per day :p

If any of the devs need images created for the UI I'll be happy to assist. Just give me dimensions, format and a brief description of each image. PM me.
