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This outdated desktop version can't be shared anymore with smartphone app 6.2 because of the version number.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

@kseistrup re PS: The same way how the original uploader can be arbitrarily banned for uploading simplex-bin. :D, they did nothing else but upload the aur package and would have continued maintaining it.

@matthewq337 I understand. In that case I can say upfront I will at most be contributing to the stable releases since I do not really use the desktop version of SimpleX, and I won't be downloading the frequent pre-releases to see if they work.

PS: How come arbitrary AUR users can be made co-maintainers without having to actively say yes to take on the responsibility? That's a surprise to me.

@kseistrup if it works
