Banned Numbers all the time

[kw005]

Our numbers are getting banned all time time. using yowsup. This is NOT due to spam! Whatsapp recognizes yowsup as an unauthorized application. At this point, we cannot use yowsup anymore without getting banned sooner or later. How can we solve this?

I've my numbers working for long time ago and I've also registered a new line 2 day ago and it is still up.
Check your workflow.

@jlguardi do you use this master branch of yowsup? what is your workflow if i may ask? because i also get blocked all the time, not spamming, syncing users before i send them any message, but still get banned even if i don't send any message

[jlguardi]

I use my master mixed with yowsup master.

No special or complex workflow but:

• avoid to send messages to non existing recipients
• ‎use delays
• use typing state
• update recipient info
• update crypto keys if required
• manage correctly acks

[yniv]

@jlguardi I'm doing all the things you mentioned here... maybe i'm doing something of them wrong???

this is how i handle acks:

@ProtocolEntityCallback("ack")
    def onAck(self, entity):
        if entity.getClass() == "message":
            self.client.sendCommand(["message", "sent", entity.getId()])

 @ProtocolEntityCallback("receipt")
    def onReceipt(self, entity):
        if self.connected:
            ack = OutgoingAckProtocolEntity(entity.getId(), "receipt", entity.getType(), entity.getFrom())
            self.toLower(ack)

this is how i update contacts:

def contacts_sync(self, contacts):
        if self.assertConnected():                        
            entity = GetSyncIqProtocolEntity(contacts.split(','), mode="delta")
            self.toLower(entity)

what do you mean by update crypto keys? this:

# Get shared keys
    def keys_get(self, jids):
        if ModuleTools.INSTALLED_AXOLOTL():
            from yowsup.layers.axolotl.protocolentities.iq_key_get import GetKeysIqProtocolEntity
            if self.assertConnected():
                jids = [self.normalizeJid(jid) for jid in jids.split(',')]
                entity = GetKeysIqProtocolEntity(jids)
                self.toLower(entity)
        else:
            logger.error("Axolotl is not installed")

    # Send prekeys
    def keys_set(self):
        if ModuleTools.INSTALLED_AXOLOTL():
            from yowsup.layers.axolotl import YowAxolotlLayer
            if self.assertConnected():
                self.broadcastEvent(YowLayerEvent(YowAxolotlLayer.EVENT_PREKEYS_SET))
        else:
            logger.error("Axolotl is not installed")

what am i missing?!

[Gabriel Araujo]

@jlguardi Can you upload your mixed master for us to try? thanks

[yniv]

@jlguardi can you please see if miss something there or doing something wrong? please... :)

[jlguardi]

It seems ok however something should be incorrectly managed and so you have banned numbers.
If you want, I can start your instance in my home and call a web service on each incomming event.

I've also started using Yowsup for about a week now, still haven't got banned! I'm just too careful I guess...

I got banned by using pidgin plugin long time ago.
