This release delivers new NFC capabilities, important bug fixes, and a React Native platform upgrade.
Fixes:
- Corrected network connectivity tracking
- Fixed potentially missed transaction result events — related queued wallet tasks are now awaitable
Upgrades:
- React Native 0.82 and several other dependencies
New features:
-
New NFC screen allows reading a Cashu payment request or Lightning invoice over Near-Field Communication on supported devices (Android only for now; iOS support coming later)
-
After a successful NFC read, a Cashu token for the requested amount is written back to the NFC tag. For Lightning invoices, the payment is made immediately. This is intended for use with dedicated Cashu or Lightning-enabled Point of Sale apps, such as Numo Terminal, or even another Minibits wallet.
-
Moreover, Minibits can now also act as an NFC host and share an NFC-readable tag containing a Cashu token or Lightning invoice, which can be read by another NFC reader. This feature is Android-only, as it relies on Host Card Emulation (not available on iOS).
Have fun experimenting with this prototype ecash Tap-to-Pay experience — start with just a few sats!
