Wire Android Archive
Due to recent changes, for some time now the only official channel of distribution for new releases of Wire Android will be Google Play Store. I decided this is a good opportunity to set up an archive of APKs which you can download and install without having anything to do with Google - except for that apks are stored on Google Drive. I will try my best to keep this website up to date with the newest releases unless I have good reasons to skip some (e.g. if I know that a hotfix is coming soon).
Please note this is an unofficial channel of distribution.
How to install an APK?
My favourite method is with adb. Download it, install it, connect your phone and make sure it’s allowed to install apps on it through USB. Then go to the console and type:
> adb devices
List of devices attached
[device id] device
This is to make sure your phone is connected. If it is, type:
> adb install -r -d /[path to downloaded APK]/wire-prod-release-[release number].apk
You can read more here.
Or if you don’t want to use adb you can try other methods.
