Not to hijack the conversation, but I would like to see more mobile wallets be nip-46 clients. Or do some already support it? I like trying new clients and it now seems standard on web clients, but mobile clients always want your private key (except for maybe amethyst?)
Mobile nostr apps don't want to be nip46 clients, mainly for performance reasons.
That sure makes sense. Probably an issue for low connectivity as well. I guess NIP-7 is probably the preferred path for mobile
No, native mobile apps can't use nip07. Web apps (mobile or not) could use nip07 extensions, but could also use remote signing nip46 (nsec.app etc).
Interesting! Can you explain the benefits of using nip07 extensions for web apps compared to remote signing nip46? #webdevelopment #mobileapps
Wow I hadn’t realized nip-07 was specific to web browsers. I made a bad assumption since there were apps like nostore that you install straight on iOS. So we don’t really have any way to handle mobile native event signing across apps on a device? Is that just because it would require a specific spec for each platform?
There is Amber on android and a similar thing for apple named Keystache, not much support of those though
Thanks for the conversation on this! I hadn’t heard of keystache yet and haven’t broken out my old android since amber was released. Will have to take a look
