RVMob is a mobile Revolt client made in React Native.
Please note that RVMob is currently in beta. It is exclusive to Android and contains several bugs/incomplete features - use at your own discretion.
For development updates and other news, join RVMob's support server.
If you want to install RVMob, simply go to the releases tab and download the latest version. We plan on publishing RVMob to app stores in the future.
Debug builds are also produced for every commit. These are unoptimised - they're much larger and noticeably slower than the release builds, but you can try out new features early.
Also note that, from v0.7.0, RVMob's APKs are split by architecture. This helps to reduce file and app sizes - however, you'll need to make sure that you download the APK that matches your device's architecture, or it won't install!
If you're using an app store, this should be handled for you. If not, however, you'll need to check your device's architecture. I'd recommend using Treble Info for this. Install and open the app - don't worry about what it says on the home page! - then open the Details tab and check the CPU architecture entry.
Depending on what it says:
- if it says
ARM64
, you'll want the APK witharm64-v8a
in its file name; - if it says
ARM32
, you'll want the APK witharmeabi-v7a
in its file name; - if it says
x86_64
, you'll want the APK withx86_64
in its file name; - and if it says
x86
, you'll want the APK withx86
but without64
in its file name.
If it says Unknown
, please ask for help in our support server.
