I don't understand the difference between the jailbroken and non jailbreaken app. On the website it says

Due to restrictions from Apple the bitcoin wallet functionaility is not available in the app store version. However it is still available for free download with limited features.

What are these limited features ? I've downloaded the app recently and I can pay receive funds etc. What's the big deal ? I read everywhere that apple killed all BTC apps but what's the problem with that one ?

Blockchain.info is tricky and uses your IP address and time to see if it should show the wallet on the phone. If you search this thread the exact criteria is in there.

However I don't think they are updating it because of the app store hostility toward bitcoin apps.

I was using the Apple store version until I noticed it does not include a fee with its transactions.. I was demo'ing to a friend and it ended up taking 24 hours to confirm which was embarrassing.

So I switched to the Cydia version and created a new blockchain.info wallet and set the fee setting to normal. Now I can see it is still not including a fee!

Are there any plans to fix the iOS client to start including tx fees?

Strange, I've been using the Apple one and it includes a .0005 fee when I send. Might just need to adjust the settings using your browser.

Last app update is over one year ago. Why isn't there anything updated. There are so many iOS users out there.

Because we are afraid that apple might pull the current version of the app as well.

okay i can understand this. but the iOS community needs a good wallet app. there are so many iOS users out there. isn't there any way to update the app without being afraid that apple could remove the app from the app store? if i compare the android version with the iOS version i am feeling like -> Cry

. there are soooo many thinks i want on the iOS app too.

Is new iOS version planned?
If so - can we get sneak peak on jailbroken phones @ thebigboss.org?

What if you do a LinkedIn and redesign the app to use mostly HTML backend. Basically the app is a customized HTML browser that allows you to push updates on the server side. You could also do things like having an option in the wallet preferences to enable the mobile app access.... if that isn't enabled then no send functions, otherwise it would be watch only.

I never did but I had also used the version for jailbroken iphones. Not sure if you have the same situation there. :/

In cryptography we trust

Don't you loose the account info if you un-install then re-install the app?

Reinstalling blockchain app would be worth a shot. I've done it dozen times and I've never had to re-pair it with my account.

You should be able to log into the website on your desktop to the the coins.

Not possible, because we can only see the bitcoin address. The rest of the app is inaccessible.

Blockchain.info doesn't allow you to log in with only a bitcoin address and the password we use on the phone, or does it?

I installed Blockchain from the Appstore last week on an iPhone 4. That worked fine. Then send 0.5 BTC to it, but now it just hangs everytime you start it and doesn't respond at all whichever button you press in the program.

Restarting phone didn't help. The program is just completely frozen and no way to access the BTC anymore it seems.

I've scrolled through the thread but couldn't find this issue or a solution. Does anyone know?

I get similar result with 4s.

When i send money i get error message:

Code:

Debug details follow:
*** -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]:
nil string parameter
(
  "4 libc++abi.dylib
0x3a4e907b  + 78",
  "5 libc++abi.dylib
0x3a4e9114  + 19",

... etc, etc.

...but coins are sent anyway.

It works normally when i restart the app.

I have dual passwords and two-factor login, but the iPhone app never asks for any of these after the initial login. Anybody with access to my phone can rob me clean Sad

any fix to this?

If you have dual encryption enabled, it will ask you for the second password whenever you try to actually send Bitcoins from the wallet.

Hm. I clearly remember enabling the dual encryption, but it was not enabled! I've tried to enable it multiple times now and it always gets disabled when I log out.. But it's possible that there's a problem with the password and I'm trying another one now. so far so good.

I have a problem with this wallet too. It worked fine for a few days but now it doesn't show my balance or addresses. Everything seems fine in the settings tab though. The logout icon is red.

I have tried everything. Reinstall, reinstall again, logout, forget and repair.. but can't get it to work :/

My iPhone is 3GS, 5.1.1

Ha! I found what caused this problem. Address labels with ä, ö, etc. break the app. I removed the problematic characters and everything is working now.

I have a question tho, I have dual passwords and two-factor login, but the iPhone app never asks for any of these after the initial login. Anybody with access to my phone can rob me clean Sad

You can install it from any app store. (Not only Korean)
If you install it from an IP address that already has accessed a Blockchain.info wallet that is more than two weeks old, the iphone app will have the full wallet functionality enabled.

Thanks man, that is extremely helpful information.
