They won't. I sent an email asking to try to fix this thing and they replied ART is still experimental and that they'll stick to Dalvik untill the official release of it.
TL;DR: They don't want to debug.

I have installed KitKat through ota. Whatsup working well initially. Later changed to ART . Whatsup cashed. Then I changed to dalvik. Even then Whatsup not worked. Tried to reinstall it using .50 and .42 versions. No use . Always showing 24 error. Please help me to install Whatsup.

Thanks for your nice help and swift reply.
The thing is I don't want to shift to ART as of now.
I want to stay back in Dalvik only. But In Dalvik when I try to reinstall Whatsup it is always showing "24" code error. How to reinstali in Dalvik.
I tried .50 and .42 versions also but invain.
On stock and not rooted

I guess, its a google issue after all.
if you use the patched "libart.so" and install latest whatsapp, it will be able to generate the OAT file.
It seems that if you temporary replace the original "libart.so", install Whatsapp (get OAT file available), then switch back to the stock "libart.so", whatsapp will still be happly running.

59Per the hints from Google, I was able to get current versions of WhatsApp to install under ART by overriding one of the verifier checks.
Here is the procedure to replace libart.so and clean up any partially-installed WhatsApp package, tested on a Nexus 5 running AOSP 4.4:
Code:adb root adb remount adb shell "rm -rf /data/data/com.whatsapp" adb pull /system/lib/libart.so libart.so.bak adb push libart.so /system/lib/
If something goes wrong it may well result in a bootloop, so if you need to restore from backup, boot to recovery and use:
Code:adb shell "mount /system" adb push libart.so.bak /system/lib/libart.so

Note that I have not tested this on a Nexus 4 (despite this thread's current location).
Update 2013/12/07: Google's official fix is posted here. This was included in KK 4.4.1.30So, according to the devs of whatsapp, ART doesn't support their app... Do they understand what a runtime environment means? I'm guessing someone is laughing hard at the Google offices with the bug they've "reported".
"Yep, we're going to modify our runtime environment because their app doesn't run with it.".

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk10There'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?).
