Had exactly the same problem. The one versión that labored for me is 2.2353.64 which I had been able to Recuperate using Time Machine. But this really sucks, anytime that WhatsApp releases an update, this occurs. I am using WhatsApp Website instead and using the element "Download Application" from Chrome https://jeffreyeyska.tblogz.com/the-best-side-of-whatsapp-web-49066771
