In Brief

The BSV mobile wallet toolkit now lets apps show progress while searching a recovery phrase for funds and moving them into a wallet. Version 0.24.2 also includes a fix for an iOS fault that blocked backup and other service requests; the package is published for developers to integrate.

News Report

The npm package registry records version 0.24.2’s publication on November 10 at 23:49 UTC, following version 0.24.1 at 23:04 UTC. These updates follow the 0.24.0 release covered by BSV TIMES on November 10.

The toolkit supplies components for mobile wallet applications. Publishing it makes the changes available to developers; users receive them through the applications that adopt the updated components.

Showing What a Recovery Is Doing

A recovery phrase can lead to many blockchain addresses. Checking them takes time, and the contributor says the wallet’s import screen previously showed a spinner for a long period with little detail.

The new progress messages let an app report when it checks for a backup, searches addresses, finds funds, and starts or finishes a transfer. They also report a transfer’s failure, allowing the app to explain what happened.

The transfer capability arrived in version 0.24.0. Known as a sweep, it moves funds controlled by an external key into the receiving wallet. Version 0.24.2 adds feedback while that process runs. Amounts reported during the search are preliminary because some of the funds found may be excluded from the transfer.

Correcting the iOS Request Failure

Version 0.24.1 corrected a number-handling error in the toolkit’s iOS networking component. In version 0.24.0, valid requests through that component were rejected, blocking backup services and lookups for wallet handles and trust lists. Android was not affected by this particular fault, according to the project.

The correction is included in version 0.24.2. Developers upgrading from 0.24.0 must rebuild their iOS apps to include it. The progress feature itself adds no further change to the native component.

What Has Been Checked

The contributor reports 7,564 automated tests passing and nine skipped for the toolkit. The update adds five new tests covering progress behavior.

The iOS fault was reproduced in a simulator, and the correction received standalone code checks. Its pull request still lists verification in a rebuilt app as outstanding. The original sweep implementation also lists testnet, device and integration checks with the real wallet as unverified.

BSV TIMES Read

A long spinner during wallet recovery can leave users unsure whether anything is happening. Progress information gives applications a way to make that wait understandable, while the iOS correction addresses a failure in the services surrounding recovery. The practical benefit depends on wallet developers integrating and testing the published changes.

Developer Context

GitHub contributor sirdeggen authored both updates and the original sweep feature. The same contributor prepared version 0.24.0 and its linked-payment broadcasting change, covered in the previous BSV TIMES report.
