 BIG NEWS: Primal for iOS is now live on the App Store. 

This release comes with an integrated lightning wallet, ability to zap and get zapped, send & receive lightning payments, and buy small amounts of sats via an in-app purchase. I will talk in detail about our wallet approach soon. 

We worked really hard to make the Nostr onboarding experience as smooth as possible, and give new users the ability to send and receive zaps without friction. Please try the app and let us know your thoughts! 💜🤙

 Wow congrats! 🌊 
 Awesome work, congratulations 🤙! 
 Congratsss!!! 👏👏👏 
 Damn. Congrats, nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wchss7kzrc  This is awesome. I can't wait to learn more about this. Are wallets coming to Android too? 
 Time to buy your first 🍎🤣 
 Nah. I don't need a built-in wallet 🤙🏻 
 wallet or walled garden? 😜 
 😂😂 Both! 
 ZAPS ARE BACK ON THE APP STORE.

 Did Apple change their App Store policy? 
 no, primal is giving apple their 30% cut as they're a lightning wallet now. 
 So only wallets can get that feature on ios?
l 
 They're giving Apple their 30% cut of the in app purchase of sats and it's also possible that they registered as a wallet and/or exchange. If they have the paperwork done then that also would have them covered. I don't know which route they went. 
 This seems like perhaps the worst time to launch a custodial wallet on iOS without regulatory considerations so let’s hope there’s more info to come here. 
 I think this is an overreaction if you’re using it for zaps. You shouldn’t keep large amounts of bitcoin on it and I can’t believe that’s the intent. 
 I think perhaps you’re misunderstanding my concern. We are discussing the regulatory compliance aspect to running a custodial wallet (particularly in the US/EU). 

Users trusting their funds (in whatever size) to a custodian is a separate discussion and an individual decision. 
 I understand that and in fact it is very important to other stakeholders for instance people concerned about the legal framework, jurisdiction, etc. Regarding code and the use of Apple Secure Enclave I think it does support EEC algorithms like NIST P-256, P-384, P-521 but not our unique Bitcoin secp256k1. About app code it would probably need OpenSSL or libsodium to integrate into iOS.. 
 Indeed, if am not mistaken others custodial wallets got ban in the US. I wonder if there are some implementation of non custodial wallets (I am just quickly browsing https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-ios-app) and I noticed a folder Nostr Tools .. I am not familiar yet.. just wondering if they using Apple Secure Enclave (secure element) https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/sec59b0b31ff/web 
 No, you can also Zap without a wallet, and Freerse can Zap successfully launched in the Apple App Store two days ago. It was a tough process, and it took more than two months of negotiations, complaints, and revisions, and I can now recite the iOS App Store Review Guidelines backwards 😂. It is estimated that miljian spent a lot of time and effort in passing the review.

 Zaps also exist for the Current nostr client, because they have similar integrations. 
 Good news for iPhone users

 Big congratulations 🎉

Want to see you competing with X and LinkedIn on long run.

Btw

Which big updates we will see in coming months ( Android app users) 
 LinkedIn is shit. It cannot be saved. Ded. 
 I disagree bro, 

recently got 3 clients from LinkedIn.

Still working if can prove and provide value. 
 I use it and suck some value out of it too. The place is soulless and mannequin propaganda.   Thumbs up to the fake smile marketing team hugging each other.  
I’m in sales & understand what you’re saying.   
Doesn’t make it not shit. Also doesn’t mean it survives in its current state as was my point. 
 Agree with you on the point: Soulless, Fake Marketing 
and Most people brag about things 

And I also think they should add some fact-check things to make the platform more trustworthy.

 
 👊 
 Plus tôt oui on est souvent les derniers. Comment se fait ? Pourquoi Apple le 1er alors qu'il y a plusieurs utilisateurs d'Android. C'est frustrant non vous ne trouvez pas ? 😂💜🙏Merci quand mais n'êtes pas le seul.. Cependant vous réservez autant de surprises tout en veillant aux retours des utilisateurs.. J'ai tout suivi depuis le début.  
 Big deal! Well done 🥂 
 Amazing! 👀👀⚡⚡💪💪

 I can't wait to try out the Android version! 😍 
 There's already a pre-release version on Google play. Still needs some work, but it's very slick.  
 I know, I have already installed it.
I am interested in this new version with the built-in lightning wallet and the possibility to buy bitcoins. 
 Moi mais ça s'était par moments peut-être est-ce lié au fait je l'utilise sur plusieurs téléphones Android . Je verifierai sur celui-ci  
 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 
 Onwards!

 Congrats on a huge milestone 💜🤙 
 Good job bro, thank you for your awesome work, I can’t wait for try and know more about the wallet 🔥🔥🔥 
 Congratulations Miljan! 
 Looks great! Congrats guys! 
 Does it work with Phoenix? 
 Fantastic news💜🤩🤙🏻 I hope to see also a full fledged ipadOS version 🙏🏻 
 Primal for iOS and integrated wallet 😮 💜 It’s super surprise 🔥 
 Woah! This is awesome ! Congrats 🍾 
 Awwwwww Yeeeeaaaahhh!!! 
 So with this release of Primal on iOS at the app store, will I no longer need the TestFlight version?

#primal
 
 Why do they need my name and email address to use the wallet? 
 Do you have money transmitter license to sell #bitcoin? 
 I thought #bitcoin was a commodity. 
 Sad to see the infinite money glitch is gone 😭 
 2.5% is steep 
 not sure its working for manually typing in a nsec to import an account on the app 
 No integrated wallet on the TestFlight? 
 congrats! 
 primal PV  
 huge congratulations 👏 
 Amazing🔥🔥 
 Congrats Miljan, big step. I hope that the wallet integration will survive.

I noticed nostr.wine isn’t connecting correctly anymore. We recently added “CLOSED” messages, “NOTIFY” for payment prompts, and “AUTH” for DMs. 

Does primal simply close the websocket on an unknown message?

Do you have plans to support NIP-42? 
 Just checked on web and this seems to only be an issue on iOS (TestFlight) didn’t try main App Store release yet.

 ありがとう💜⚡️ @miljan 
 ありがとう💜⚡️ @Marko 
 Congratulations! 🥳 
 the user experience after clicking Post is incredibly confusing

Zap view showed an infinite loading loop 
 Holy Moly. That sounds great! 😍👍👍 
 This is huge, zapping and buying too ⚡️ 
 well done! 👏 👏 
 Excelente ✨👌👏 
 Work great thanks..realy like this wallet in app 🤙 
 Great job I’m excited to use it. Some constructive feedback: it was hard to find via search might be helpful to add Nostr or other keywords to make it easier to find. 
 Big big news 🫂🫂🫂 
 Looks fantastic. Very, very buggy for me. Can’t add a private key, can’t change public key. Can’t clear account info (deleting app leaves app cache info).  Just for starters.  I started with npub, but have no way of adding prvt key so I can fully use the app… 🤔 
 Congratulations miljan
It's a great news for both nostr and ios users 💗💗💗 
 what about anroid app,  there is no option to buy sats.? 
 So far so good. I still havent explored nostr much. What makes this better than Damus? 
 Been using the test flight build so the addition of the wallet was a surprise. Very well done!! Can’t believe how easy it was to setup and fund. 
 Congratulations, the development speed is surprisingly fast, we are also working on Lightning Wallet and Nostr fusion.🤙👏 
 This was a hard secret to keep, @miljan… 😂 
 Well done guys! I am on the android test version and is very fast!  
 This release is very well put together ... Congrats to the @primal team!

 It’s great fun, already using
It 
 I’m buying, sending, zapping and i love it . Really good work 🤙 
 
I am liking the getAlby integration on the Primal web.  That won't change with this new #Primal iOS release will it? 

I won't be using the new Wallet on the iOS app.  That will mean I just can't zap from the iOS app, right?  No issues with the Primal Web interface, right?    
 This app has a huge flaw, it does not allow me to steal memes by saving them to my phone. 
 Nice! Congrats on the release. I'm wondering if you have any plans to enable NWC so I can connect another wallet? 
 Nice! I gonna use it to share some travel #photography tips 📸🤙 
 Wow! 
 That is big! Thank you and congrats on release.  
 I downloaded it. I wanna love it. I can't make it work. Perhaps too many people are downloading it at once (I can hope) but I understood this was really easy to use yet that's not how I'm finding it. I keep getting stuck with features that don't let me move forward, most recently zaps under settings. Tap but no response…??? 
 While I think plebs should dump iOS for #GrapheneOS, it is wonderful to #Primal on both #Android and #iOS.

FINGERS CROSSED THAT IOS 17.2 WILL ENABLE SIDELOADING WHICH WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR AN OBTAINIUM PORT.

 Slick!! 
 💪 💪 — amazing 👏 
 In fear of sounding like a noob why can’t I like posts by clicking the heart? It goes straight into the thread? 
 Congratulations 🎉 🎈 
 Dope! Congrats on this! 
 A surprisingly innovative step for a Nostr client, congratulations! 
 Congrats! 🎊 
 Congrats! 
 Wow!! 
 I think a #mainvolume issued license is required to think. I think I am European, Swedish in fact. I think I am created by Sina for #mainvolume 


🙂 
 Appreciate the SATS! And amazing app! 
 Primal is lit 🔥👐🔥 
 Great job! It’s easy enough now I can start recommending to family and friends. Great wallet integration. 
 Question, so the Alby wallet I had linked in TestFlight version is no longer linked and I have to use the new wallet? 
 Very nice overall, small thing to apply in my opinion, it is not possible to pay to an other LN wallet 
 That could be one reason I buy an iPhone :-) .. Great going and keep on ! 
 when additional wallet support? 
 Looks like it's very well integrated. Glad to see Primal pushing forward nostr and bitcoin adoption! Just don't forget to self custody them sats when you're not using them for zaps. 
 Do you have plans to consider IPA distribution like I've gotten @ZEUS to do, so that full (regular) zapping can be done without having Apple strike you down?

Might be like this with your TestFlight builds, in which case you could just distribute those as packaged IPA's on your GitHub for sideloaders to use. 
 Works great, but it doesn’t appear that notifications are working. App also doesn’t appear listed under notifications in settings. 
 Thanks for zap! Keep up the excellence! 
 Definitely checking it out, thanks for the POW and the announcement. 
 So far it’s amazing. Good job!👏🏻 
 Do we ditch the test flight version and move to this? Or are they the same? Or run both? 
 Awesome work! One small problem is you can not buy sats using an existing npub.  Brand new profile ✅, use an existing with ❌. 
 Bullish on #Primal!  Congrats @Milan.  Thanks for the early Christmas tools that I can have in my tool box.  Purple zapping here I come!🎄🤶 
 Great experience! A small bug on iOS 16.7.2 #primal: Scroll is not working on Settings, so I cannot see the app version number. 
 In wallet I just see a red circle flashing. The send button does not respond. What am doing wrong? 
 I need to try this out

 Very impressed by the new release. It was stupid simple to buy sats and start zapping. 
 So far I’m really impressed, nice work team Primal! 
 It's a very nice, great work but Android client lacks behind. As usual.

 wen android version 
 When Phoenix wallet integration? Tha't would be awasome 
 Not sure how I feel about the requirement to link an email but after enabling the wallet everything works seamlessly 👍 
 Not in Europe?  
 That’s huge! Congrats!!!🎉👏🧡⚡️ 
 So fast 
 Like the look and speed but it won’t let me post or send messages. A little help please! 
 This is rad 
 Just downloaded, it’s awesome!  🙏 
 I think the feed in Android is not as smooth as it is with X app. I think this can be improved. 
 Why the muted accounts are not private in Primal? 
 any alernative app for android? 
 Tout ce qui est embêtant est la tradition immédiate pour Primal sinon il est très bien..les gens devraient pareil pour simplex pour les clés privés .. à part cela suis pour le côté éthique, professionnel et responsable pour l'app soit pour tous ..face à certaines expositions presqu'a la limite de l'extimite qui est usitée chez certains utilisateurs qu'ont rien compris autant qu'ils basculent dedans en de faisant payer. Traduction automatique sinon l'avantage c'est gain pour reprendre le vocabulaire  
 James, what happened to the Monday meetings you were on? 
 awesome. great work so far. this is already light years better than Amethyst  
 yeay. make you android app awesome. i love your app!

wen video upload support sir!
