As promised in our proposal, we will post weekly updates to let you know what's going on regarding Keychain development.
Mobile App
Ranting about Apple...
This week's update comes a bit late because I wanted to wait for an Apple email before publishing the update. Still waiting, but in short here's the situation.
As you know, Apple has accepted the first version of Hive Keychain on the App Store. But well, they didn't accept the first (minor) update, suddenly realizing that it's a crypto wallet, and requiring for it to be published under a company account, and not my personal dev account. Since then, (about a week ago), I've been asking them a few questions, for which I've been redirected to different services three times already.
Anyways, in the meantime, I've made my own research and it seems that we can work on meeting Apple expectations (create a company, get a DUNS number, get Apple company account approval) within a month or two if we expedite the process. We will also have to create a landing page for Hive Keychain, is already working his magic on it.
In the meantime, we sadly won't be able to provide iOS updates via the AppStore. We'll do our utmost to resolve this as fast as possible, while working on the next milestone for the App.
(The above won't impact Android users)
Now the good stuff
I've made good progress on the in-App browser (browser branch on Github):
- Implementation of the confirmation dialog for requests
- Confirmation and error messages
- Successful implementation of two requests used for login
requestVerifyKeyandrequestSignBuffer - Requests logic has been extracted, and it will make it faster to implement the remaining requests
- Started working on anonymous requests (for some requests, users can chose themselves which account to use)
Here's an example logging into PeakD using my posting key:

Still waiting for Google approval for our latest update, it's been weeks now. Gotta love big companies.
Download the Apps
- This is a first release and the Application is still in Beta. It has been tested extensively but it should not by any means be the only place you store your keys on.
- To import accounts quickly from your Hive Keychain extension to your mobile App, use the QR Code scanner by pressing the QR code logo:
On your extension, navigate to the menu (top right button), then to Manage Accounts and finally click on Show QR Code.
