Current Behavior

whiile using .sendText() method to send the message getting this error:

Error sending message: Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id')
at window.. [as sendMessage] (pptr://puppeteer_evaluation_script:1:482720)
at ExecutionContext._ExecutionContext_evaluate (/home/sagar/wa-demo-project/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:258:15)
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
at async ExecutionContext.evaluate (/home/sagar/wa-demo-project/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:146:16)

ALSO in the client getting something like this:

"onOrder": "ERROR: This feature requires an Insiders license. Use this link to get the correct license => https://get.openwa.dev/l/**********&f=onOrder",
"onNewProduct": "ERROR: This feature requires an Insiders license. Use this link to get the correct license => https://get.openwa.dev/l/**********?v=i&f=onNewProduct",
"onReaction": "ERROR: This feature requires an Insiders license. Use this link to get the correct license => https://get.openwa.dev/l/**********?v=i&f=onReaction",
"onGroupChange": "ERROR: This feature requires an Insiders license. Use this link to get the correct license => https://get.openwa.dev/l/**********?v=i&f=onGroupChange"
}

I'm not sure if this is a bug or do i need to purchase a license to use features such as sending text messages.

You dont need to purchase a license to send messages to your existing chats/contacts. Very strange error which is hard to debug without your sendText code. Can you share exactly what you're trying to send (redact part of the phone number)
