Download the **app-mainnet-fdroid-universal-release.apk** file.

**Step 3: Clone the App**

Open App Cloner and follow these steps:

* Select **APK files** and tap the **+** button.
* Choose **From a file** and select the **app-mainnet-fdroid-universal-release.apk** file from your downloads folder.
