free source for bitcoin iPhone App

[njloof]

Interesting. I know that the App always crash on 4.2.1. Maybe this is related.
What iOS version do you have? Do you know if bitcoin has a recovery command-line-flag I can use?

4.2.1, which I gather is the last for iPhone 3G. Works fine on an iPod Touch running 4.3 though. Probably should just prevent installs on 3G/4.2.1.

I help run TheBigBoss repository on Cydia, the jailbreak app store.

This technology is so cool it's tough to explain to my contemporaries. I love the idea; this should be bigger news than just a story about an apple rejection.
If you get the itch waiting on Apple and want to see this project or a derivitive build make it to the masses, we can host the package for you. We do try to support what is rejected by apple, and I feel this app really should be in the hands of users soon.

I wouldn't go so far as to build it for ourselves - not sure how that would make us look. I can say that the userbase that is using jailbroken idevices is huge and growing larger each day with the devices gaining traction in the western world this year.

If you need any help or have any questions just drop us a line

For people that continue to signup for testing, I run out of devices I can add.

If any other iOS developer wants to build the App and sign it to few additional devices (UDID) then I can forward him the devices that signed up but are not in my test and then I can distribute the App back to the device owners

did anyone clone this project to allow another 100 beta testers, please?

is it possible to distribute the .ipa file for the app?

[udibr]

the latest .ipa file can be downloaded from https://s3.amazonaws.com/udibriphone/bitcoinApp.ipa
(in addition to testflight site)

Let me know if/how its possible for someone else to re-sign it with a new provisioning file.

I've purchased the Xcode app for 5$. does that qualify me to distribute 100 beta apps? If yes, than I could help you.
I'm asking a quick question here before I read the whole license stuff. I've noticed an option to spend 100$ for a year long developer's program but that's not an option for me.

[udibr]

you need the $100/yr (the $5 app used to be free)

Also I am not sure if you can take someones else .app file and sign it with your provisioning file.
On a second thought I am sure you cant.
Because the App id has to match the certificate which you get from the developers site (to which you have access only if you pay $100/yr)

it's still free for registered developers ($100/yr) but I only needed the compiler & co to work on a different project, not targeted on iOS. so i spent the 5 bucks as a one off payment for a nice tool.

seems like a no go at the moment. thanks for the clarification.

I'm an iOS Developer. Long ago (about 3 years) I published an app on Cydia. If I remember correctly, the process at that time involved re-signing the app binary, so I actually think this may be possible.

Publishing on the App Store is indeed the most promising route. I'm not sure I want to risk submitting on my account, though, as I have other successful apps published under that account. Maybe we can establish a new Bitcoin company for the sole purpose of trying to get a Bitcoin app published on the App Store. If anyone's interested in helping with this, contact me.

Did you wanted to say that a new company is needed for submitting on Cydia or for re-submitting on App Store?

I will try to talk with the App review people at WWDC next week and see what exactly they object to.

as soon as app store accepts bitcoins I'll pay the 3.99 $

btw if it hits the top rank in the finance category it will be additional bitcoin promotion ...

Hello -

I have a personal app published on the Apps store and was thinking
I could fairly easily integrate it into the App for an updated pro version.

What would be the minimum needed to make it useful.

In this way we could get our foot in the door.

[Binford 6100]

and get banned from app store?
anyway it should be doable. you probably need a button to switch to the bitcoin part of the app and merge the code to your app.

Did you find out anything at WWDC?

[udibr]

got a final rejection

[jackjack]

I just found that thread
So, finally, what's going on? The project is abandoned? Are some people still interested?

I will pledge 1 bitcoin to whoever makes this installable through Cydia.
