Mobile App Beta Testing

Well most people are just creatures of habit, I guess. In that case I think the github solution would be the best.

So when is the ETA for the mobile apps ?

jabo38 · September 12, 2015, 9:17am

Its still going to take a while. Mobile devs move kind of slow

We can probably expand the people involved in testing, though.

Guys that have expressed interest in this, you should be getting contacted by Mixmaster. He will be sending you a message with more information.

We also have a Telegram chat on this topic. It isn’t necessary to join, but could be helpful.

Done
Please PM me if you need test XEM!

I was going to test the mobile app today, but when I tried to send a few coins from my desktop wallet to my mobile one, I’ve got this errormessage over and over again. Checked the address twice btw (TCXQO5-GIR5QW-MES7LD-JGQNGV-4X4PLA-AZ33MA-WT34). No clue what’s going on.

Hi Gizfreak,
you are trying to send real XEM to the mobile app, but the mobile app is only availalbe in the test network atm. You can pm mixmaster to get some test XEM to your address for the mobile app testing.

Real NEM adresses start with: N…
Test network addresses start with: T…

Doh, could have known it, now that you mention it. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi everyone,
I would like to let you know statuses on both app versions:

Android - starting with designs update
IOS build will hopefully be uploaded this week

boestin · October 14, 2015, 4:24pm

I can test the IOS app…

jabo38 · October 16, 2015, 5:52pm

iOS app is being uograded from Swift to Swift 2 so the build that was suppose to come out this week is a little bit delayed.

xalvation · October 16, 2015, 7:22pm

i would be down to test iOS once it’s uploaded

jabo38 · October 17, 2015, 2:21am

Boestin what’s your username on telegram or slack?

Xalvation do you have one?

boestin · October 17, 2015, 6:21pm

Hey Jabo,

My username is @boest on telegram… username @boestin is a goner, I cant access it anymore from my mobile.

mixmaster · October 18, 2015, 8:06am

yup, you are already added to the mobile app testing group.
i suggest that all interested people should be in that group, so it is easy to follow new releases etc.

lcharles123 · October 19, 2015, 11:52pm

You did the NIS and NCC for mobile? Or just the client?
Could send me the Android installer , please? Thanks!

mixmaster · October 20, 2015, 12:11am

just the client. a mobile phone doesnt have enough power to run a NIS (full node).

are you on telegram? then i can add you to the mobile testing group.

jabo38 · October 20, 2015, 4:24am

I’m not sure about that. You can run a full node on a raspi2 and I am pretty sure most of the late model phones are way more powerful than a raspi. It is just that nobody has written the code to specifically work on mobile platforms (yet), but I can easily see how in the future it will be possible. And even if the latest phones don’t have the hardware to run a full node, then the next gen of phones surely will. The point I am getting at is that I definitely expect for full nodes to be run on mobile devices in the far future once some gets around to making that happen (there are no plans for it at the moment as far as I know).

mixmaster · October 20, 2015, 9:57am

The thing is: Nobody is going to drain his battery down with a full node. And nobody is going to waste his traffic (you don’t always have WiFi) for a full node.

So: No, full nodes on mobiles are not expected any time soon…
