Nativefier is ded/unmaintained, see #1577 on github.
Just added the discontinued tag.
Unfortunately there is still no official native version of WhatsApp for Silicon Mac devices. I was using Multi, but that stopped working today due to it's version of Safari being out of date for Whatsapp (I hate Whatsapp grr). Nativefier has saved the day :)
