kik-bot-api-unofficial: get_jid TimeoutError now frequent
I didn’t have any issues with using get_jid in the past, but all of a sudden it times out almost every time. This is an issue for me because it’s effecting send_chat_message when it’s given a username, considering its dependent on get_jid.
I investigated this by increasing the TimeoutError time threshold to 10 and then even 100 seconds on line 678 of client.py and this has had no effect, it’s simply not retrieving anything. Also experimented with putting it in a while loop to see how many 10-second tries it would take, it took over 30 minutes to get a single JID, so at least I know the success rate isn’t 0%, lol. I sent the same code to a friend to try and they had the same issue, so I can rule out it being a local issue, maybe its a temporary issue with Kik?
It was working great before, I’m really not sure what changed.
Does anyone know why this is?

Probably! I’ll leave this open in case anyone stumbles on more info. Thanks for the input, @Sitiaro
I tried it multiple times but I had no issue with it. I was able to it without any of the above mentioned errors, but I was facing a similar problem a couple weeks ago. Changing the kik version to the latest one in device_configuration.py fixed it for me. I’m still not sure as to why that happened, and I can’t guarantee whether or not it’ll work, but give it a go? It could be a temp issue with kik as you mentioned.
