Do you have a idea when you will release the first Beta or stable Version in Play Store?
I know if this is reached 
But any ideas when this will be?
Thank you for your work 
weâll as youâve already said - as soon as the things that should be done are done 
there is no hard due date, also it is not 100% clear how many devs can work on issues, however, following all the github activity the last weeks, one may get an impression.
an overview about some open things to do is available at new stable ui Milestone ¡ GitHub
Thank you and sorry for my late replay.
I hope it will come up very soon.
I would like to use DC with my (non tech friends) ASAP.
An they need a official way (Play Store) to install DC 
By and happy coding.
Hello webratte.
I have some good experience with installing F-Droid at non-technical experienced friends that (in opposite to side-loaded APKs) also enables automatic updates after new releases. Perhaps this can be a workaround for you until âofficialâ Play Store is release?
- Site: https://f-droid.org/
- Direct APK for F-Droid âstoreâ to share: https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
(if you cannot get hold of their device directly to do the proper install of both F-Droid, Delta Chat plus correct e-mail server settings or walk them through the process by phone, the guide under https://mobilsicher.de/schritt-fuer-schritt/so-installieren-sie-den-app-store-f-droid for German speaking users might help for the F-Droid part). - Wikipedia info what they install on their device: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Droid (for peace of mind
)
regards, Sven
Second the suggestions to consider f-droid also for non-it friends. I installed it once or let them install and they are happy with it. Also, there are some nice apps on F-Droid â eg started recently to use âMapsâ which is really well done and i much prefer it over OSMAnd ⌠I heart there also is a well-done e-mail app but havenât used it myself yet. Also there is K-9 mail of course which also supports Autocrypt and can share keys with DeltaChat.
It sounds a litte bit strange to say they should side load a App (f-droid) because they wonât side load a App (Delta Chat)
Hi everybody,
will the âJanuary 2019â release (https://github.com/deltachat/jan2019-release) a first public release (beta or v.1.0) in Play store?
In this case I could prepare my friends for a great new messenger 
hi @webratte, currently, itâs planned to get the current android-dev to f-droid and to get a desktop-linux release out.
these is the minimum we want to make and i think there wonât be room for much more.
i doubt we will make it to the play store in january therefore.
btw - happy new year everyone
Too bad.
Still, thank you for your work.
So I will wait until February
Happy new year !
Will there also a Windows version come up with January release?
