### #Amethyst v0.77.0-alpha: Amber 🚀
Today marks the beginning of a new era for Nostr Android. A native signing app (Amber) can now store the keys while every other Nostr app focuses on their own use cases. The time of inserting your private key in every native app is over.
Well, at least technically over. Consider this a test release. Bugs are expected.
We hope other Nostr apps for Android follow the same path and stop storing a private key with their own databases. And, hopefully, iOS apps will follow soon.
This version wasade by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 and all zaps to go him.

- [F-Droid Edition](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/download/v0.77.0/amethyst-fdroid-universal-v0.77.0.apk)
I logged out of Amethyst (removed my nsec) and then tried to login via Amber and Amethyst instantly crashes when I click 'Login with Amber'.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6.
Also, what's the difference between F-Droid and Play edition? I've been using F-Droid. Are notifications available on GrapheneOS with either edition?
Thank you!
im running lineageOS, with no google play services and i can tell you no notifications on f-droid or play, but that would be the reason to use the play version
That was happening to me as well and I managed to fix it by deleting the storage and cache from both apps and logging in on Amber first.
