One of the most requested updates for the ARK Mobile Wallet was definitely
adding support for dynamic fees. So of course we added it to our latest version,
you can now set your own transaction fees from Desktop and Mobile Wallets!
It’s been some time since the last update of the mobile wallet, but the newest
release if finally here. If you already have an ARK Mobile wallet you should get
a notification on the available update. If you want a fresh install of ARK
Mobile, you can use one of the links below.
Note: Depending on your geographical location, mobile updates may take some
time before they are seen as available.
What’s New / Fixed?
Support for dynamic fees — you can now send, vote and register a delegate
with Ark’s newest fee system. You decide on how much you are prepared to pay for
your transaction!
As you can see there are 3 predefined options min, average and max (with
‘Average’ being the default one). Note that selecting min most likely won’t get
your transaction confirmed if you are going to send as 1 arktoshi fee
(0.00000001) and max being 1 ARK to prevent users from fat fingering the fee and
mistakenly sending an exorbitant fee.
You also have an option to input your own custom fee by simply tapping on the
fee number and writing your own. If your custom fee is to low, your transaction
will not be confirmed by the network and will be returned to your wallet,
usually within 45 minutes.
**Better support for ARK based chains **— mobile wallet now has better support
sending transactions on ARK-based chains (Phantom, Qredit, etc) by implementing
some of the new checks and verification models (use epoch time provided by
network, debranded peer-to-peer config, …).
**Save account balance immediately **— when you selected a wallet, the balance
updated, but after pushing the back button, the balance was reverted to its
value prior to the update. This has now been fixed.
Enable send button if transaction send fails — this happens when the
transaction fails due to network problem (losing internet connection, bad
latency, …) you now have an option to resend it again.
**Fix Smart Bridge validation on the transfer page **— in the previous version
vendor field only allowed up to 60 chars to be included, now its been corrected
to properly validate to the maximum (64 chars).
**Changed NEO endpoint **— when you were sending ARK to some addresses in the
confirmation screen a lot of the times it said that the receiving address is a
NEO address because of an endpoint change for NEO. This has now been corrected
and shouldn’t show unnecessarily.
**Fixed amounts with higher precision **— transaction send page allowed users to
enter amounts with precision of more than 8 decimal digits. These transactions
were failing with status 400 after pressing the send button. This has now been
resolved.
**Fixed multiple imports of wallet **— on wallet import manual page if you press
import multiple times same wallet was imported multiple times. This has now been
resolved.
**Removed SQLite plugin **— we never used that package so it has been removed as
to not clutter the unnecessary dependencies of the wallet.
Refresh not visible in dark mode—pull down refresh wasn’t working for dark
mode. Hence, on pulling down to refresh users weren’t able to see “refreshing”,
and didn’t even know about this feature (refresh on pull down) when dark mode
was enabled. This has now been corrected.
Cursor in search bar when search button tapped —focus shifts to search bar
when search button is tapped on the delegate search page.
Version of the Core that peer is running — in the network settings page
where you can see which peer you are connected to (or change peer) you can now
see which Core version that specific peer is running.
Disable showing fiat amount when Ark value is 0 — in the previous version,
when loading the profile, if the Ark balance was zero it showed it as ‘A 0$’.
Since it is more appropriate not to show the fiat balance when user has 0 ARK,
this has been removed.
**Improve delegate search and add 2 decimal digits in productivity **— updated
the search process to improve how it works, along with now showing 2 decimal
digits in productivity percentage on delegate page.
We can’t stress this enough!! But here goes : SAVE YOUR GENERATED
‘PASSPHRASES‘ YOU WILL NEED THESE IF YOU LOSE YOUR PHONE, DELETE YOUR DATA, …—
WRITE THEM ON A PIECE OF PAPER (EXACTLY LIKE SHOWN) OR SAVE THEM ON AN ENCRYPTED
USB DRIVE. DON’T HAVE JUST ONE BACKUP, MAKE A FEW FOR THE WALLETS YOU WILL BE
USING. IF NOT SURE, FIRST TEST WITH SMALL DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS SO YOU ARE
CERTAIN YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT. PASSPHRASES ARE YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY AND IF
YOU LOSE IT, NO ONE CAN HELP YOU OUT! THERE IS NO PASSPHRASE RECOVERY OPTION!
