WARNING: Issue with DP3T SDK

DP3T switched to Exposure Notification Framework of Apple/Google which requires entitlements which are only available for official government/health organisations.

Hence this project development is on hold for now, and we switched to other project which is focused solely on our technology:

Statement from Apple

The following is a statement from Apple: "To ensure the credibility of health and safety information, Apple is only accepting COVID-19 related apps from recognised entities such as government organisations, health-focused NGOs, companies deeply credentialed in health issues, and medical or educational institutions. Only developers from one of these recognized entities should submit an app related to COVID-19 to the App Store.

Fully Private Open Source Contact Tracing

The promise of privacy is not enough. That’s why verification of privacy being preserved through open source is a must.

OpenCovidTrace is an open-source platform integrating all popular BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) contact tracing protocols ( DP-3T, Google & Apple, BlueTrace, etc.) with an additional set of features for iOS and Android platforms.

Our vision is to provide a trustworthy contact tracing tool with universal interoperability, that empowers people and communities to fight Coronavirus.

Our mission is to develop an open-source implementation for proprietary protocols (such as Apple & Google and BlueTrace backends) which addresses privacy concerns in terms of preservation of individual privacy, and integrates with all popular open-source protocols (such as DP-3T).
