Support for camera images

[joa77]

I love to see, that sending images is now supported. Will there be a way of sending images as camera images?

@bluemods If you know exactly how to get it right you are more than welcome to submit a PR.

@bluemods Your python code is very good. Can you help to solve this problem?

[tomer8007]

@bluemods The signed, lang, sid, ts, v, cv, conn, dev, n generation code is already here at EstablishAuthenticatedSessionRequest, right?

So all you're saying is we need to replace anon="" with anon="1" and use this code even when self.username is None and self.password is None here?

[tomer8007]

OK, sounds sensible. Why is the sorting incorrect? Isn't the code at sort_kik_map correct?

Also why leaving the currect state would prevent sending camera images? The authentication stanza is working right now.

[tomer8007]

I agree we can't send camera images, the question is why would changing the anonymous stanza fix it (did you try it?).

[tomer8007]

Also the sorting of the map is fine, right?

[tomer8007]

So finally, what needs to be changed so that com.kik.ext.camera will work?

@tomer8007 Hi! How's this features coming?

[joa77]

I never had a bot sending me images 😅

[Artificiangel]

A while back I found that those bots already send fake camera images.
I also noticed some of them don't, probably different devs.

I don't think they (or most) use this API. They were able to mark your messages as delivered before that feature was added here.

-The dev attribute is your Device ID and is omitted from the auth <k tag

I had been looking at the decompiled source of the Kik apk (v15.21.0.22201) and converting the parts needed for the sorted tag into python.
All that works, my code outputs the same tag as the java function, but it doesn't let the app use camera images.

I noticed the Kik code has CAN + deviceId assigned to dev. This appears in both the smali and java versions.
I made sure to look at other versions of Kik from multiple sources to make sure.

If I remove CAN from the dev attribute, Kik returns an error telling me to update my client.

I don't understand what's causing that.
I am also sending the latest version number and classes dex hash which didn't help.

I have the fix, I could commit it,

@bluemods @bluemods
It would be great if you could do it

@tomer8007 @bluemods

Is there any hope for this features?

Following up on this. Has there been a solution?
