With this release I increased the target platform target version from 10.0.19041.0 to 10.0.22000.0 (Windows 11) and the target platform minimum version from 10.0.17763.0 to 10.0.18362.0. This means UWPX now officially targets Windows 11 and drops support for all versions of Windows 10 before the May 2019 update.
Besides that, this release includes a bunch of OMEMO related bug fixes and adds support for OMEMO 0.8.1 (2021-10-07). With this change, I decided to reset the database again, so you have to login to your accounts again.

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 2022
  2. Clone the repository with Visual Studio 2022
  3. Build the project for your target platform (e.g. x64)
  4. Install the app on your target system:
