@amilich Please make Android apps available under “releases” in GitHub.
A lot of us use Obtainium to obtain and update our apps or use RSS feeds to get notified about new releases and update manually.

Oh, great idea.

I’ve been trying to use the Skiff Mail app through Tor for 10 minutes with no success. Skiff needs to do some work on being usable over Tor.

@amilich After trying for more than half an hour, I can say that the Skiff Mail app is unusable over Tor.

What platform are you on?
We’ve been working on this and had some success. But, some Tor exit nodes are blocked by either hcaptcha (signup) or may have issues.
I think we have a great solution 
For as little as $2 per year, you can get a custom domain through Skiff where we will privately register it for you within minutes. You can then have unlimited alisaes on that domain.
Instead of going through alias → PGP → other alias, mail will simply be encrypted with your Skiff account public keys - including the subject - and go to your inbox. Skiff Mail’s client blocks trackers (if you enable remote content blocking) and proxies all image requests to hide your IP and all other identifying data.

I’m using Skiff Mail’s Android app, and I’m routing my traffic trough Tor with Orbot.
I switched my Tor circuit (which switches exit node too) a lot of times and still no success.
By the way, I’m already logged in to my account, it just doesn’t load my emails.

Helpful to know. And this loads if not?

Okay, so I have another complaint. I picked up a Pro plan with my $10 worth of credits. Then I saw that you can downgrade, so I did that to save $6 of my credits, and now I noticed that $4 are gone from my bank account, and I wasn’t aware that I will be paying with my real money, not credits.
(I contacted support for a refund)

That logo just keeps spinning forever and doesn’t load emails.

When can we expect these APKs to be under “releases” on GitHub?

I’ve been using Skiff for a few weeks now. While I did encounter a few bugs, the overall experience is fine.
But I believe that the speed of the platform might prevent users from migrating. For instance, downloading email attachments takes a significant amount of time, especially for relatively larger files (e.g., 10MB).
I also appreciate efforts made by Skiff to improve security and privacy and listening to the community.
If there was a vote to decide whether to list Skiff or not, I would have voted for it to be included.

Thank you! I can look into attachment downloading, that is really helpful to know. What other speed issues do you have? We’ve tried to make Mail a lot faster recently.
As Lukas said, you can vote at the top

Let me try adding the latest one now (I believe v59.0).

I created a tag and release, but all you really want is the APK file instead of the entire repo. Does this still help?

APK file should be under assets in that release (Release Android - v59.0 · skiff-org/skiff-org.github.io · GitHub). As of now, there is no APK file under assets.
Here you can see an APK file under assets: Release v3.0.14 · ProtonMail/proton-mail-android · GitHub

Thanks I really appreciate that Skiff listens to users and improve the service according to the feedbacks.
For the transfer speeds, I had troubles while downloading attachments and files from the Drive.
I voted, I think Skiff really deserve to be listed.

Thank you
We just improved upload speeds to Drive a month or so ago. We haven’t applied the same changes to download yet (downloading files in parallel).
