Originally created by @DudenessBoy on GitHub (Aug 31, 2025).
What happened?
If the Revolt Android app is installed through the Aurora Store or other third-party Play Store clients, it shows a popup requiring the user to install from the Play Store
@liamthexpl0rer commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2025):
This is a duplicate from #13.
@alexjyong commented on GitHub (Sep 5, 2025):
@DudenessBoy Yeah, Google Play adds in Play Store requirements into the app code, which I presume is being copied over to Aurora Store and other third party stores.
Your options are to either build it yourself, there is a guide here https://revoltchat.github.io/android/contributing/setup/ (if you don't have a computer that can build android apps, it has a section on how to do it in Github Codespaces.)
Or check out one of these third party clients:

https://github.com/alexjyong/android (Disclaimer: As you can see, this one is mine. It's just a forked version of this, with a few QOL updates. I also have a guide there on how to build it yourself if you rather do that.)
Of course, none of these options are officially supported by the Revolt team. 🙂 But just so you are aware of options. 🙂
