Project status

Is this project still in active development, or has it been discontinued?

[tareksander]

I don't have time to work on it currently, but it should be mostly stable and usable by now.

It is usable when termux is downloaded from GitHub. But failing when downloaded from play store. Might be signature issue.

We do not maintain GP version. Also it has different signature.

Termux on the Play Store is a fork of an old version with additional, unmerged changes, and is not controlled by the dev team at https://github.com/termux. Despite its existence and version number, it is not the newest or latest version, and is significantly less functional than either the current F-Droid release or Github builds. More detail: termux/termux-app#4000

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you should not use the Play Store fork. Install the suggested release from F-Droid :fdroid:.

If you have currently have the Play Store fork installed and want to install an official build from F-Droid or Github, you must uninstall Termux and all companion apps first.
That means uninstalling the main app, as well as Termux:API, :Styling, :Widget, :Task, :Float, and :Boot. Termux:X11 works differently and can be left installed.
