The last two months I was unable to spend a lot of time developing UWPX, since currently a lot of other things like organizing retake exams that were pushed back during the whole health crisis came up.

Push is still very much work in progress.
If you can't wait for me to enable push for everyone, you can play around with it by enabling it via Settings -> Accounts -> Enable push. Since it's still work in progress do not expect it to work all the time, or even at all 😅.

To get more information about the push setup and how it works, you can continue reading here.

If you enable debug settings (press 5 times on the app version on the settings page to enable debug mode) you get even more information about the current push status and can request a test push notification from the server (in case it's running).

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.
Long version:

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