🦟[Bug Report] cannot start the iPhone app

[fibo]

Describe the bug

The app does not start. I can only change the language selection so it is not completely blocked. But the app does not start, it only shows the splash screen. No user feedback of what is going on.

Tried also to click on the language check mark icon or anywhere around. No result.

Tried to close the app and reopen it several times. It just do not start.

To Reproduce

Just download the app the the Apple Store and open it.

Screenshots

Observed Environment

• OS version: iOS 18.2
• Litewallet Version: 3.14.0 (250220)
• Device model: iPhone 15 Pro

Additional context or information

I think Litecoin is a good project and it is a shame that the average user has this initial bug on iPhone. To be honest I do not understand how this could be possible, I mean that a project of this proportion fails like this.

I am a software developer but I do not have the skills to debug and fix bugs on iOS apps.

However I would like to support and I offer my availability to help in any way. For example you could add me to TestRail so I can test the fix on my own device.

Feel free to contact me on any of the channels listed here: https://fibo.github.io/about-me/

Same issue - iOS 18.3.1 on iPhone 16 Pro, cannot get past the select language screen to set the app up…

no one fix this bug？

I think the problem could be in the StartView.swift code which appears to be missing the two NavigationLink buttons for “Create Wallet” and “Recover Wallet”, so unless your wallet is already set up then you can’t progress past the select language screen…

StartView.swift needs to include these 2 pieces of code in my opinion -

NavigationLink(destination:
AnnounceUpdatesView(navigateStart: .create,
language: startViewModel.currentLanguage,
didTapContinue: $didContinue)
.environmentObject(startViewModel)
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(false)
) {
ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: bigButtonCornerRadius)
.frame(width: width * 0.9, height: 45, alignment: .center)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.shadow(radius: 3, x: 3.0, y: 3.0)

    Text(S.StartViewController.createButton.localize())
        .frame(width: width * 0.9, height: 45, alignment: .center)
        .font(buttonFont)
        .foregroundColor(.litewalletBlue)
        .overlay(
            RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: bigButtonCornerRadius)
                .stroke(.white, lineWidth: 2.0)
        )
}

}

NavigationLink(destination:
AnnounceUpdatesView(navigateStart: .recover,
language: startViewModel.currentLanguage,
didTapContinue: $didContinue)
.environmentObject(startViewModel)
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(false)
) {
ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: bigButtonCornerRadius)
.frame(width: width * 0.9, height: 45, alignment: .center)
.foregroundColor(Color(UIColor.liteWalletBlue))
.shadow(radius: 5, x: 3.0, y: 3.0)

    Text(S.StartViewController.recoverButton.localize())
        .frame(width: width * 0.9, height: 45, alignment: .center)
        .font(buttonLightFont)
        .foregroundColor(Color(UIColor.litecoinWhite))
        .overlay(
            RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: bigButtonCornerRadius)
                .stroke(.white)
        )
}

so can you create a pr？

[pob220]

I haven’t tested that code yet - was hoping that presenting the likely cause and a proposed fix would make it a very easy job for whoever posted the bugged update to sort out…

I could create a new fork and do a pull request if the bug keeps getting ignored, although it involves digging out my trusty old MacBook Pro to test with XCode first (I defected to Arch Linux since Apple decided to make their computers unupgradable).

[fibo]

ok but guys, if no repo owner answers here... after two weeks

and no user is able to use the iPhone app

this looks like abandon-ware

I understand now why alt-coins are so devaluated

will close the issue

[pob220]

I had a response from the app developer on X who is looking to deploy a fix - https://x.com/loshan1212/status/1900975027417215338?s=46&t=mgEpFzUfgRCIMshMww056Q

[losh11]

@fibo working to deploy to fix, unfortunately to get an update approved on the App Store is extremely difficult. It took us nearly 2 months to get the previous update released for example.

[pob220]

Any update on the fixed Litewallet for iOS ?
