Mobile App Beta Testing

General Discussion
#43

Yes, it would be a stand alone NIS app. People just download it from the app store, enter a delegated key and click start.

There are some problems holding us back though of course. Right now Android only supports Java 6 I think, and we use Java 8. And I guess some problems like that with iOS too.

It of course could be overcome and will be a lot easier I guess after Android supports Java 8, but then again somebody would have to write it.

But in the future, I really do think NEM can be a โ€œharvest on your old mobileโ€ platform. And if that was so, we could get A LOT of nodes.

Yes, would be pretty nice :slight_smile:

Here are a few screens from the latest iOS release we are testing.

If weโ€™re still sending out invites to beta test - Iโ€™m in. Just discovered NEM and Iโ€™m impressed. I have several Android phones and I use them all. Iโ€™m very proficient with phones.

EDIT: I have android tablets and set top boxes as well.

I can test on Android phone and tablet, if the testing is still going on.

#54

Interested to test on Android.

#55

Android seems to be a lot more interesting :smiley:

But we also need more iOs testers, anybody?

@diSynthetic @megashira1
Thanks, Iโ€™ll send you a PM with the details.

#56

Same here: Android testing on Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet

#57

Nexus 7 and iPhone 4 here. So either droid or iOS or bothโ€ฆ

I have a question regarding the Lightwallet.
Once the nginx Lightwallet is downloaded and started, it is available in the browser on 127.0.0.1:7777 and it can be used to connect to a remote NIS, for example on go.nem.ninja:7777
However, if the browser is used to go directly to go.nem.ninja:7777 the lightwallet is available as well.

So why is the nginx server used in the middle, between the browser and the NIS?

#59

This is the mobile app thread, please ask questions about lightwallet in the according thread.

@blue @garp
Thanks for your interest. I will send you details via PM for testing the mobile app.

#60

Sorry to ask, but can you explain me the difference between the two?

#61

Lightwallet is a JavaScript based software, which uses a browser to display the GUI. It might work fine on your mobile browser, but the actual code of the lightwallet does not run on your phone.

The mobile app runs entirely on the phone and doesnโ€™t need a browser to display the GUI.

#62

The mobile browsers execute the JS, so the lightwallet JS does actually run on the phone.
But if I understand you correctly, the difference between the two is:
1.The lightwallet can be used from within a browser
2. The Mobile app is a native app for the OS of the phone, be it iOS or Android I suppose.

Remains the question: in which use case would the one or the other be recommended? Does security play a role? Or will it depend on the preferences of the user?
