 ## Amber - 1.0.0 - Beta 1

- Amber now supports nip 46
- There's 3 versions of the application to download now:
  - Play - This uses the google services push notifications
  - Free - This uses ntfy push notifications
  - Offline - This does not support nip 46

Download it with [Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium) or download it directly in the [releases page 
](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre)

 NIP-46 woot! Thank you. 
 The bunker is on your phone! 🚀

 What is the long-term roadmap? Are you playing to be in Google Play Store? 
 I'll try fdroid first. Then I'll see if I can add it to the play store 
 Sounds good. Also, how do I work out which version of Obtanium and your app to install?  
 When adding Amber to obtainium it should automatically show only the apks that are compatible with your device, then you just need to choose the play version if you don't want to use the ntfy application to handle your push notifications.
If you want to use ntfy them download the free version.

 Thanks, would you say ntfy involves much of a learning curve? Also, is F-droid easier/better than Obtanium? What is the likely timeline for you guys launching in the F-droid store? 
 I prefer using obtainium to download apps but I think it's harder to install apps with obtainium.
Using ntfy was easy, I just installed it, installed amber and then nfty already started working 
 Thanks for sharing your advice and experience. Obtanium sounds like a good thing to be getting into if you are into installing apks, so I will check it out, thanks again! 
 Sorry, one more question. I've now installed Obtanium. But what is the app source url to generate the dialogue box shown above? Thanks! 
 This looks awesome but what dose the QR code scanner do? Is it finally the part of NIP-46 that supports connections created by the client? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/46.md#direct-connection-initiated-by-the-client 
 Yes, it's the nostrconnect:// uri
You can also send the uri directly if you don't want to show a qrcode 
 awesome, I'll look into adding support for that in noStrudel. it would be cool to have the app show a qr code and then scan it with my phone to login 
 Hell yeah

 a 1.0 release on the play store for the play version would be big👀 
 Amazing! Im going to test it!
Btw related to citrine, what is the use case rn? Can i use it as a cache relay in amethyst or other? 
 Rn you can use it as a cache relay in nostrudel and in applications like amethyst you can add it to your relay list and use it like any other relay.
I think only nostrudel has the cache option 
 Nice thanks! Btw just tested amber bunker! 🔥🔥🔥
I had to use the one with play services since i dont have a ntfy configured but works flawlessly  
 I noticed a bug where renaming the account doesn't save on this beta, can file a GitHub issue if you prefer.  
 File a bug report please. If you can send some screenshots or video.
Also you need to press the confirm button at the bottom to save 
 will do later today, thanks🤙🏻🤙🏻 
 citrine this is good! 
 does amber works with all mobile browsers (if the app like nostrudel supports) ? 
 For the nip 46 yes. If using the Use Amber button in nostrudel them you need a browser that supports reading the clipboard  
 Thanks - understand better now - https://www.xda-developers.com/stop-apps-reading-android-clipboard/ reverse
Once you know which app(s) you want to prevent from reading the clipboard, enter the following: cmd appops set <package> READ_CLIPBOARD allow 
 It doesn't work for me, with ntfy installed, do I need to configure ntfy somehow?  
 Did it create something like this in ntfy? Try force closing amber and opening it again if it didnt create a new topic there

 Hi 
 hyy 
 I think #noStrudel is the first app to support the nostr-connect process initiated on the client side thanks to @greenart7c3 for adding NIP-46 support to amber

This is only on the next.nostrudel.ninja version for testing (which is why there are timeline loading bugs)
