For my bachelor degree I have to choose a project. I got 5 months for the final project to be completed.
And I am looking into creating a Electrum Client for iOS. The project should be like a fully time job (40 hours a week).
I have a few experiences with objective-c, but I am not pro or even close. I wrote a few small apps myself.
I would happy if someone could give a feedback about a few questions.
1. Is there a electrum client for iOS in development ? - I haven't found any. EDIT: This is the only project I know of
http://www.electsum.com2. Pyhton doesn't work on the iPhone. Would it be possible to port the libs in 5 months?
3. Is it realistic to finish the whole project in 5 month with my experiences?
If you any another thoughts regarding this, please feel free to share.
Sorry for bad english, I am from Germany.
1. There is an Electrum client in development for Kivy (specifically for Android) which Kivy supports iOS.
2. Kivy is a compiler for Python that compiles into objective C or Java (for iOS or Android)
3. If you got in touch with the developer working on Kivy, it would not be unrealistic.
Two caveats:
1. Most of the Kivy project has been coded, and most of the work, if you were to help, would be fine tuning for the iOS compiler instead of the Android compiler. Your school may not like that you just jumped on an almost all done project instead of making your own.
2. Electrum deals with money. That may have legal implications wherever you live, I don't know.
