Title: Where does Jaxx store its files in iOS?
Post by: ankuzn on January 31, 2018, 03:28:59 PM
Hi,

Do you know which path Jaxx uses on iOS? I only found com.kryptokit.Kryptokit in App domain, however it has only a single .plist file inside, which is almost empty.

This is not from Jaxx itself, but the source is reputable at least, as far as tech forums go, and as far as the user's concered. It's posted in June 2017 but doubt much would have changed since. Original comment: https://vxlabs.com/2017/06/10/extracting-the-jaxx-12-word-wallet-backup-phrase/#comment-122446

macOS desktop: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Jaxx/Local Storage/file__0.localstorage

P.S. as you can see, the discussion is about a vulnerability in the way Jaxx encrypts the wallet seed which makes it easily extractable... something they haven't fixed to date. In case you're wondering why a lot of people don't recommend Jaxx.

Thanks buywaytress for your reply.

Actually the link you shared is the place where my question is coming from :) I'm in the situation where I have access neither to my Jaxx wallet nor to the backup phrase. So I'm looking at this vulnearability as a chance to restore my wallet.

The path you shared is for macOS unfortunately, not iOS. That's why I'm seeking around for insight on this.

Hello,

Did you manage to solve your issue with the access to Jaxx?
