This package is deprecated and will no longer work with the modern Blockstack platform.
Please use the official Blockstack iOS SDK.
An alpha version of the full native blockstack browser for iOS. This version of the browser incorporates most of the functionality from the web version of blockstack browser. The big difference between this version and the web is that data is persisted locally rather than on-chain.

This app is written in Swift 4 and must be run with Xcode 9+ (currently in beta see developer.apple.com/ios to download)
Because the dropbox sdk references a specific version of alamofire that is not compatible with swift 4, we must make a small change after running our pod install to get past a compile error in Alamofire's sdk.
- After running pod install and installing pods, open BlockstackBrowser.xcworkspace in Xcode9
- From the Project / File explorer on the left pane, select the Pods project, this will reveal all of the Pod targets, which are all of the pod libraries installed in the Browser.
- we need to customize the build seeings for the Alamofire library and get it to compile it with Swift 3.2, a backwards compatible version of swift 4. Start by selecting the AlamoFire library target.
- then select the build settings tab and use the search bar below it to search for the swift language version setting. Set it to Swift 3.2
