The way this viber works or installs is so annoying to say the least. Xfce4 here.

Issues and problems with it:

1) Snappy package needs to be installed separately.

2) Viber doesn't start and coredumps if you have several keyboard layouts other than US. setxkbmap needs to be set manually in the Terminal.

3) When Viber finally starts it cannot be perma-closed with a mouse. It remains in the sys-bar. Right clicking on the icon makes Systray Plugin properties popup, not Vibers.

4) Even though I have no mic, it instantly evokes Mic icon in the PulseAudio systray, as soon as Viber is started. This cannot be turned off anywhere.

I don't know if something of this can be prevented in future AUR packages, but current Viber is so obnoxious, like some pest app that plagues your system.

Looks like this version is depending on snappy package. I got this error on a clean install: viber: error while loading shared libraries: libsnappy.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing snappy, everything worked as expected.

I'm having a generic X11 icon displayed in the taskbar instead of Viber one.

I don't remember seeing this before.

Please update pkgbuild to use openssl-1.1, I've just done a manual test and the pkg builds ok/installs/works so it's just a case of modifying the pkgbuild file, please.

I found out that I can run Viber from the KRunner when I switch the keyboard to the second one (I have two layouts). After Viber is started I return back the previous layout.

It also works when you want to run Viber from the command line.

I managed to launch viber with the ability to make calls via flatpack. First I installed it with the command: flatpak install flathub com.viber.Viber
and then launched: flatpack run com.viber.Viber

I just installed fresh KDE without Wayland, and with full Pipewire. Viber works out of the box without any modifications.

Doesn't work on KDE + Nvidia + Wayland, QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb viber launches it with black app screen.
