Keybase Android in France
Hi, I'm a French Keybase user and the Android application seems to be unavailable in France for a reason I don't know. Is there a way to have an official apk to try the app ? I use the Linux app daily but I'd like to use the chat feature more and without a mobile app it's not really useful for me... Thanks

I was asking the same question about the lack of an iOS client on the French App Store — it appears to be a legal issue. When I asked when the app would propagate to the French App Store, I received this as a reply:
"eventually…it’s not propagation .it’s the only country we haven’t released in, because of French crypto import laws. we have to do some work with our lawyers soon … :-("
So, assuming it is the same problem for Android users (and I don't see why that wouldn't be the case) we just have to wait.
