Status Desktop - 0.8.0-beta

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

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.

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

Note for older beta versions users

If you have been using much older betas (like 0.3.0) It's highly recommended to remove the data folder and re-import/sync the account to start over with this beta. You should backup your seed phrase

• 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.

Then upon starting the app you can re-import your seed phrase. Syncing is not currently recommended.
