This month I've been focusing mostly on refactoring the XMPP and TCP connection.
The new system is far more reliable and also does not crash the app when you click on enable/disable/reconnect accounts.
This bug/crash was the single most cause for crashes based on my AppCenter statistics and was existing since the initial release in 2018.
It affected almost 10% (7.8% to be precise) of all users in the last 30 days.
Now I finally went over it and fixed it 😉.

Besides that I fixed some other smaller bugs which should enhance the experience for everyone.

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:
