matterbridge: Crash while connecting to newest Whatsapp for Android

Environment

Version: 1.24.0 65c7ac80 (downloaded release)

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 x86_64 with Linux 5.4.0-100-generic

Please describe the expected behavior.

After scanning the QR code to link a device to Whatsapp, the bridge should go on with its other tasks (ie. connecting to other bridges, and eventually starting message relaying).

Please describe the actual behavior.

Bridge panics after QR code is scanned. This was tried with the previous .gob file, and with no .gob file at all.

Any steps to reproduce the behavior?

1. Update to the latest Whatsapp for Android version as of today: 2.22.4.74 (220474005)
2. Start the Android app
3. Tap on the three-dot menu
4. Tap on “Linked devices”
5. Tap on “Link a device”. The QR scanning screen should appear.
6. Allow Whatsapp to use the camera if necessary
7. Start the bridge
8. When the QR shows up, scan it with the Android device
9. See the panic report
