Since July 3, 2017, the source code of AusweisApp2 is available on the online platform Github (for software development projects with version management). Under the EUPL license, users can obtain the original source code, copy it, develop it further, program optimizations and make it available to the community again.
The license of AusweisApp2 allows the eID client to be made available for operating systems that are not officially supported, as well as for use on citizen terminals and deep integration of the eID function into own applications. Suitable changes from the community can be adopted for official further development and incorporated into the certified AusweisApp2 provided by the federal government.
