Status Desktop - beta.4

Please note that this version is a beta meant for testing purposes by core contributors and the community. It's not meant for real use and makes no claims of security or integrity of funds or data in these builds.

Please report issues/bugs in the #status-desktop channel or via:

https://github.com/status-im/nim-status-client/issues

macOS users: after you open Status.dmg and copy Status.app to the Applications folder, you will need to "right click -> open" when running it for the first time (due to new Apple requirements for notarization). You may need to "right click -> open" twice.

Update Instructions

(IMPORTANT for users updating from beta.3 or older)

Some things have changed in this release which require removing the data folder. You should also backup this folder if you generated wallet accounts with the desktop app.

Before proceeding backup your seed phrase:
-> Profile -> Privacy and Security -> Backup Seed Phrase

Next steps:

  • on macOS:
    • Open the Finder, in its menu click "Go" and select "Go To Folder..." and enter ~/Library/Application Support/Status.
    • Backup this folder somewhere else if you need it.
    • After backup, remove the folder and copy Status.app from the opened Status.dmg to the Applications folder.
  • on Linux: backup the ~/.config/Status directory if you need it, then delete it.
  • on Windows:
    • Press the Start button, select Run (or Windows Key + R) and type: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Status.
    • Backup this folder somewhere else if you need it.
    • After backup, remove the folder and move the unzipped Status folder to your preferred location.

Notes:

  • Ensure your firewall allows the Status Desktop app.
