I'd love to know whether the non-beta release will be available as apk download. I won't be using either apple store or play store. Appreciate the development either way.

Any decent open source app will have a "releases" repository on Github. No account needed to download the apk file. https://github.com/synonymdev/bitkit/releases

You can even use Obtainium to add the github repo and be notified by new updates and install automatically. https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium Read more here, there is also a video tutorial how to use Obtainium https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/bitcoiners-mobile-device-en.html

Thanks Darth, I remembered your tut. Already an Obtanium and F-Droid user. and life is much better.

Problem is that the beta asks to update to non-beta release.

Yes and Bitkit team already informed that in order to move to the new version you will need to close the old channels and start fresh with the new version.

I think is a normal procedure to move on from beta...

Ah thanks. For some reason it kept asking me to update. Now I seem to be okay.

I never previously used the beta, thanks. Seems it's already updated to 1.0 and problem solved anyway!

I think, it is still actually beta release and warns users so. That is the clarification I was seeking.

Anyways... you should be aware of this: #155848 Those 2 issues are still un-resolved by Bitkit team, funds are lost. There's still that possibility. You have been warned.

I wasn't aware, like I said I don't use the beta.

Not going against your warning there, I don't know the technical status then or now. I did meet a dev from bitkit this year, TBH, I don't think their intentions would be to scam anyone. Even you are just warning people, not sure if I agree with your tone.

It is similar with all LSP (mutiny, blixt, pheonix) which is why I run my own node. Even if that is technically in beta, I think there's much more control.

edit: I agree that most important feature of LN enabled wallet should be LN.
