Telegram X source code is now available
The source code for Telegram X has been released. It only differs from the binaries on the Play Store in that it does not contain Google or Telegram API keys.
Unfortunately, this means you will have to apply for your own in order to build Telegram X yourself. It depends on Google APIs, and nobody has made de-Googled builds either, so that's also something to keep in mind.
For detailed build instructions and the source code, visit: https://github.com/TGX-Android/Telegram-X
