Time goes by and I finally managed to have some free time to work on UWPX.
This months release includes the new "Add Group Chat (MUC)" dialog and a first work in progress preview of new "Contact Info" page. Other than that there are only minor changes in the release.

Please report bugs here!

Future plans

August to November 2019

Between August to November 2019 I will spend a lot of time developing UWPX. This is caused by me writing my Bachelor's thesis about UWPX. In detail I'm writing it about XMPP for IoT. Because of this UWPX will get an extension for IoT support.
Don't worry, if you are not interested in XMPP for IoT, all of it will be encapsulated in an app extension so only people who are interested in it can install and use it.

Windows Mobile in 2020

Since Microsoft will shutdown the MS Store for all Windows 10 Mobile devices by 2020 there won't be a way for me to publish any new updates for all users who still stick with there Windows Phone (besides sideloading apps).

So the last update for all devices running Windows 10 (Mobile) < 10.0.16299.0 will be made available roughly around the 20.12.2019.

If you still wan't to continue using your Windows Phone and get "regular" UWPX updates I suggest having a look at Windows 10 ARM for Lumia 950.
Battery life is not that great while you use it but beside that it's quiet usable on my Lumia 950 XL 😄

Download Statistics

The following images show the declining number of Windows Mobile downloads (first/left image) and all other platforms (second/right) in contrast.

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_UI_X.Y.Z.0.zip.
Once downloaded, unpack and right click Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 -> Execute with PowerShell to install it.

For this to work you first have to enable Sideload app in your Windows settings! Click here for more information about this.

3. Build it by your own

Short version:
  1. Install Visual Studio 2017
  2. Clone the repo with Visual Studio 2017
  3. Build the project for your target platform (e.g. x64)
  4. Install the app on your target system:
