There's a piece of news for all of you ART converters who are waiting for a Whatsapp update (WA currently crashes on ART runtime).
I've sent an email to WA support team to ask when a future update will be available which will solve the fc when running ART.
Here's the reply from the support team:
"Hi,
Thanks for your message. Currently, ART does not support WhatsApp. Since ART is still in beta stage, WhatsApp will continue to run in Dalvik until Android has been fully converted to ART. A bug has been reported to Google regarding this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to help!".
So, take your own conclusions. Mine is that we will not see any update of any app currently having issues with ART until Android will take it out of the beta stage and will make it the default compiler (Android 5?).
