This month is all about fixing OMEMO bugs and enhancing the tools I have for obtaining quality crash reports.
While testing OMEMO interoperability between UWPX and Kaidan we discovered a bunch of OMEMO related bugs where UWPX does not meet the OMEMO (signal) spec, since I implemented the Signal Double Ratchet Algorithm by my own. So I have been hard at work fixing those and as it looks like there is "only" one left to fix. More about this one can be found here.

Besides that I enhanced the crash reporting process. From now on (in case you do not have crash reports disabled) a new dialog will show up in case the app detects a crash in the last session. There you can give me additional information about the crash so I can quickly fix it!

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:
    Here you can find more information about: How to install UWP apps, using the developer mode.

An extended guide on how to build UWP with images to guide you through can be found here.
