@medaminezghal We use the .desktop from their official .deb.

Edit: GPG verification currently only applies for the Ubuntu tarball archives, not the DEB binaries.

Could you add GPG signature verification? The latest release v6.3.2 has released the GPG signatures (of the SHA256 checksums) and GPG public keys from both teams of SimpleX and Flux: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.3.2

@iamawacko Could you update the simplex.desktop file to be like the one from source?

The app won't start for me:

zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) simplex-desktop

Applying strip (which is default in /etc/makepkg.conf) results in crashing app when trying to play video or make a call. It works without problem if not stripping. Proposing to disable it in PKGBUILD:

This outdated desktop version can't be shared anymore with smartphone app 6.2 because of the version number.

I can't play videos with this package. I get this traceback: https://paste.rs/3H1av (it's longer than 5000 characters). If I had to guess, I'd say this has to do with the objcopy stuff. I had to resort to the AppImage.
