And... they are back.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.acinq.eclair.wallet.mainnet2
APK: https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair-wallet/releases/tag/v0.3.1-MAINNET

P.S:
Quote
This release is a new SEPARATE application which does NOT override Eclair Wallet 0.3.0. This is due to the loss of the signing key that prevents us from updating your application from v0.3.0. to 0.3.1. Next releases will be regular updates.

If Eclair Wallet 0.3.0 is installed on your phone, please read this before proceeding any further.

~snip~
According to the developer they accidentally deleted the key (not compromised).
~snip~
Wether they really lost their key or wether it got compromised can't be said for sure currently.

They said that they lost the key and not that it was compromised. I think they would be panicking a bit more if the key was actually compromised.


Thats exactly what i have said.
But wether the developer are saying the truth can't be known at this moment.
There are several possibilities on what happened.

I think Hanlon's Razor definitely applies here. There's no reason to overreact and go on tangents when we aren't really privy to the details.

The devs removed the application because the lost their signing key.
Without this key the devs won't be able to push updates / new versions to the play store.

And since there has been a small bug discovered, they are currently not able to fix it (To be more correct: they are not able to upload a fixed version).
According to the developer they accidentally deleted the key (not compromised).

They will upload a new version (and hopefully won't lose the signing key again) soon.


It is recommended to NOT use the application until a new (fixed) version has been released.

I'm the only one who can't see it anymore? I googled, there is nothing. The only result I get is the beta wallet and If I visit ACINQ page[1], I see nothing as well.

Bitrefill linked[2] to them directly in Google play and the link is not working[3] for me. I do remember seeing it when it first got released a few ago.
