Topic: Coinbase iOS app (Read 1661 times)

Hi there,

If you were able to download and use the Coinbase app before it was removed from the App Store, here’s what you can generally expect:

Support and Updates: The app may continue to work for existing users, but support and updates could be limited or unavailable if the app is no longer listed on the App Store. Coinbase might focus on resolving the issues with Apple or offer alternative solutions.

Security and Vulnerabilities: Using an app that is no longer supported or updated can potentially expose you to security vulnerabilities. If the app is not receiving updates, it may not be patched against new security threats, making it less secure over time.

Future Access: If the app is removed from the App Store, it could eventually stop functioning if there are server-side changes or if it requires periodic updates to remain operational.

For now, if you have concerns about the security and functionality of the Coinbase app, it might be worth considering alternative methods to access your Coinbase account, such as their website or other available apps. Additionally, keeping an eye on any official announcements from Coinbase regarding the app's status would be wise.

If Coinbase support is currently preoccupied, you might also want to check their official forums or social media channels for updates or alternative contact methods.

Note for all: This is a 2013 post, so beware of getting fooled by the text in the OP.

It's still there:

The app will not receive any more updates. Coinbase could make the decision to drop support for the existing iOS app users at their discretion.

Coinbase does not store private keys on the mobile device so no one can spend your funds without verifying with coinbase's server. I can't remember if the iOS app has 2 factor authentication. If it does you should be safe from future vulnerabilities.

That decision is left to the users.

Since Apple's removal of Coinbase's app from their App Store. What will happen to those that were able to download and use Coinbase app before it was taken off?
Will the app still be supported?
Will the app be susceptible to vulnerabilities?
Should iOS users abandon Coinbase app?

I had contacted Coinbase but it seems they are preoccupied.
