This release focuses on fixing bugs, so we are on track for releasing the first beta 🎉 of UWPX next month (ETA 01.09.2021).
Besides that, it fixes and enhances the XEP-0085 (Chat State Notifications) integration with a brand-new typing indicator and updated activity indicators.

Starting with the first beta of UWPX, push notifications will be supported out of the box, even if the app is closed 🤪.
So stay tuned!

Please report bugs here!

How can I get this App?

There are three ways how you can get access to the app.

1. Microsoft Store:

The simplest way is to just download it via the Microsoft Store.

2. Sideload:

If you don't want to use the Microsoft Store for getting access to UWPX you can also sideload a pre build app.
For this head over to releases and download the latest UWPX-Installer.exe.
Once downloaded, double click it and then click on install.

For this to work you first have to enable Sideload app in your Windows settings! Click here for more information about this.

⚠️ Windows will try to warn you that this is a malicious installation program. This is because I did not sign it with a valid developer certificate - you can ignore it. ⚠️

3. Build it by your own

Short version:
  1. Install Visual Studio 2019
  2. Clone the repository with Visual Studio 2019
  3. Build the project for your target platform (e.g. x64)
  4. Install the app on your target system:
    Here you can find more information about: How to install UWP apps, using the developer mode.
