App is stuck in an infinite loop when starting?

[browser-bug]

Could be related to new updates on Whatsapp web? This is the behaviour I get. I already tried reinstalling.

Same issue today for me. Seems like the code is looking for an URL that does not exist:
´´´
"method: GET url: https://github.com/WAClient/WALC/releases/download/v0.3.2/latest-linux.yml\n\nPlease double check that your authentication token is correct. Due to security reasons, actual status maybe not reported, but 404.\n"
´´´

But since the app is an AppImage file, I cannot edit anything to test and try to start it.

Let's hope someone finds a solution.

Yep, it must be as you said. You can try manual compilation and usage if you want. In the meantime I'm opening an issue
