A LOT has changed in the last couple of months in UWPX.
I undertook the adventure of replacing the badly maintained SQLite-net DB backend with a new Entity Framework Core DB.
With this I was finally able to fix and update my OMEMO implementation to the latest version of the draft (OMEMO 0.7.0 (2020-09-05)).
This version is incompatible with all other previous versions of OMEMO and UWPX allows you now to only exchange OMEMO encrypted messages with contacts that support at least OMEMO 0.7.0 (2020-09-05) draft.

This should now finally allow UWPX to act as a client with a propper one to one OMEMO implementation!

Since we have new DB backend, the old DB is incompatible and you have to add 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 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:
