v1.1.0 — WhatsApp Auto-Call Reliability Patch

This update fixes a critical issue affecting WhatsApp auto-calling behavior for all users.
In v1.0.0, the app opened the correct WhatsApp chat but—due to an internal state flag missing during a refactor—the accessibility service did not automatically press the voice-call (“Llamada”) button.

This patch fully restores the expected one-tap calling flow.


What’s Fixed

✓ WhatsApp voice-call automation restored

After selecting a contact and pressing “LLAMAR / CALL,” the app now:

  1. Opens the correct WhatsApp chat
  2. Automatically detects the voice-call icon
  3. Automatically taps the voice-call button
  4. Initiates the call without user interaction

This behavior is now:

  • Consistent
  • Instant
  • Reliable across all devices
  • Working in both ES and EN language modes

🔧 Technical Summary of the Fix

A missing internal trigger flag (WhatsAppCallService.callRequested = true) was preventing the accessibility service from activating after WhatsApp opened.

This patch re-introduces the flag at the correct point in the call flow.

Affected file:

MainActivity.kt

No other logic changed.
No UI changes.
No settings changes.
Simply restored the original functionality.


Other Improvements

  • Verified stable behavior on updated WhatsApp UI
  • Confirmed compatibility with all saved contact formats
  • Codebase kept identical except for the required trigger restoration
