Practical overview
When it fits
Consider BitStore when you need an iOS Bitcoin wallet with address and contact management, or when reviewing its documented Objective-C implementation and test configuration.
Who it is for
- iOS users seeking a Bitcoin wallet with address and contact management.
- Developers examining or adapting an Objective-C Bitcoin wallet project.
Documented uses
- Manage multiple Bitcoin addresses and address-based contacts.
- View BTC exchange rates and update the selected currency unit.
- Configure a test-server workflow for limited test transfers.
Requirements & limits
- The project is a native iOS app written in Objective-C and licensed under MIT.
- The README requires a Chain.com API key for project setup; Plesk analytics is optional.
- The BitStore-Test scheme points to a separate server, uses Stripe test servers, and skips phone verification, according to the README.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Configure the BitStore iOS project
Prepare the documented Xcode project with its required API key and choose its production or test scheme.
Before you start
- The BitStore-iOS repository
- Xcode workspace: BitStore.xcworkspace
- A Chain.com API key
- Plesk analytics API key only if using analytics
Steps
Set the required Chain key with cocoapods-keys for BitStore.
If needed, set the optional Analytics key using cocoapods-keys.
Open BitStore.xcworkspace.
Choose BitStore for the production server or BitStore-Test for the test server; Tests is the unit-test scheme.
Expected outcome
The workspace is configured with the documented API-key settings and a selected app or unit-test scheme.
Guide limitations
- The README documents setup and scheme selection, not a successful build or current service availability.
- The test scheme uses a separate server and Stripe test servers; its documented transfer amounts are 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0005 and 0.001 BTC.
