Your Baileys pairing code is generated, but when you enter it on WhatsApp it’s rejected as invalid or mismatched.

Just to help more people in the future:

I was having this issue while trying to run a "whatsapp connection api" using baileys in a docker container. I was using Chrome in MacOS as the browser in the settings (it's ChatGPT's main suggestion for whatever reason).

My guess is that Docker doesn't like running MacOS and some problem happens in the code pairing/generation. Changing it to

browser: [ "Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04" ]

fixed my problem too. Thanks for the help!

Hmm, @ArthurAAM you could just leave the makeWASocket parameters for browser to be empty and baileys uses the best option,

like me this is my configuration

const sock = makeWASocket({
		logger,
		auth: {
			creds: state.creds,
			keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger),
		},
		msgRetryCounterCache,
		generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
		getMessage: async (key) => {
			return getMessage(session, key);
		},
		cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => {
			return cachedGroupMetadata(session, jid);
		},
	});
