[SkypeWeb] Friend requests are not received

[LittleVulpix]

One needs to log in from the skype application to see a new contact request. I think this is a very core functionality which should be fixed; currently nobody is able to approve contact request or even see that one was made.

I think this is the reason; the api resource seems to have been deprecated.

The line in the reply prompts us to "Switch to http://aka.ms/contactsservice"

@aunsane Perhaps you can look at this some day? :)

I wanted to say that this problem is solved in the skype4pidgin plugin for the pidgin messenger
In pidgin come to offline requests for addition to friends, and messages come in offline from unauthorized users
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin
You can check it yourself
I ask developers to look at the source code and add this option. There it somehow is realized and works. I hope someone will be able to fix it and the already made example for pidgin will help to implement in this plugin
