As promised in our proposal, we will post weekly updates to let you know what's going on regarding Keychain development.
Keychain extension
Let me start with a good news, after battling with Google for a while, the 1.9.2 version of Keychain was finally accepted on the Chrome Store. We plan to release another update this week with the latest changes.
This week development included :
- Fixing minor issues
- Completing work on Keychainify for
custom_json
, in order to let online stores using WooCommerce interact with Keychain. For those who are not familiar with it, you can enable Keychainify from your extension settings and it will transform some HiveSigner urls into Keychain transaction requests. - Also added support for redirecting after a Keychainify operation, through the
redirect_uri
field - In a new
export
branch, QR codes are added to the account management screen. This will be used in the future to import accounts from the extension to the mobile version. As such, it won't be released just yet, but the basic implementation is there, although I might tweek it a bit before production.
Mobile App
The mobile App development is going smoothly :
- Implemented encryption and decryption methods. This was a bit tricky since the Node.js native
crypto
library can't be used directly in React Native. - Persisting accounts list through
redux-persist
middleware. - Creating an
Unlock
screen and switching betweenSign Up
andUnlock
according to the saved state.
In the coming weeks, we ll complete the account setup by adding the possibility to add account by QR code or by authorized account,and managing account decryption upon unlocking the App.

I'd be happy to beta test the mobile app.
It s still very early for this, but we will definitely keep it in mind for the pre-release. Thanks a lot!
