Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project README describes the app as free and says it provides 75,000 testnet satoshis at startup. It lists an APK release and Google Play Store listing. The README documents Android and iOS build prerequisites for people building from source.

  • The wallet is testnet-only; it is for learning and practice, not handling mainnet bitcoin.
  • The README lists nine tutorials, spanning testnet basics, transactions, fees, mempools, units, recovery and wallet types.
  • Additional practice coins may be needed after the one-time startup amount; the README points users to testnet faucets.
  • The public repository identifies Kotlin as its primary language and lists an Apache-2.0 license.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare the Padawan iOS project

Generate the Xcode project and localized strings, then configure the documented faucet settings file.

Before you start

  • Xcode, XcodeGen, SwiftGen, Python, and Rust.
  • The just command is available to run the documented just start-ios-dev command.
  • A Padawan Faucet host and user token for the configuration values.

Steps

  1. Install XcodeGen and SwiftGen.

  2. From the repository root, run just start-ios-dev to generate PadawanWallet.xcodeproj and localized strings.

  3. Open iOS/PadawanWallet.xcodeproj in Xcode.

  4. In PadawanWallet/Resources/Config, create FaucetConfig.xcconfig and add the faucet settings: FAUCET_SCHEME = http:/, FAUCET_URL = $(FAUCET_SCHEME)/$(FAUCET_HOST)/sendcoins, plus the host and token values.

Expected outcome

The iOS project and localized strings are generated, and the documented faucet configuration file is in place.

Guide limitations

  • The source documents project preparation and faucet configuration, but not building, running, or validating the iOS app.
  • The source shows FAUCET_HOST and FAUCET_TOKEN as commented placeholders and does not provide actual values.
