WhatsApp 2.6.x on iPod touch

WhatsApp is an instant messenger service for the iPhone (and previously) the iPod touch & iPad. For some reason unbeknown to me they removed (in a recent update) iPod touch. Luckily, being the pro haxx0r that I am (:P) I found a way around this :) REQUIRED JAILBROKEN iPOD
1) Download (using iTunes) the latest update to WhatsApp
2) Right-click the app in iTunes and choose 'Show in Explorer'
3) MAKE A BACKUP OF THE IPA the close iTunes
4) Use 7-Zip/WinRAR/any other zip browser to open the .ipa before extracting Payload/WhatsApp.app/Info.plist and open it in a plist editor
5) Scroll down to the bottom and remove the whole dict that says something to do with RequiredCapabilites (right from the down to the )
6) Save the Info.plist and overwrite the one in the iPA
7) Now the update will sync in iTunes
8) You'll find you can't enter a phone number in WhatsApp yet. Fire up Cydia and install WhatsPad (yes it says iPad but install it anyway)
9) Respring when installed
10) Enjoy WhatsApp on your iPod touch! :)
