Please help us spread the word discussing build reproducibility with COINiD Vault via their Twitter!
Do your own research!
Try out searching for "lost bitcoins", "stole my money" or "scammers" together with the wallet's name, even if you think the wallet is generally trustworthy. For all the bigger wallets you will find accusations. Make sure you understand why they were made and if you are comfortable with the provider's reaction.
If you find something we should include, you can create an issue or edit this analysis yourself and create a merge request for your changes.
The Analysis ¶
This provider states in the App Store description:
Check out the offline device guide on our website.
but forgot to provide a website. We’ll go with the one provided for their Android app COINiD Vault as there is not much information to be found on the App Store.
On their code repository we find this:
Proper readme coming soon.
and this:
We are currently not including the secrets.js in the repo.
which means there is no full build instructsions and the app is therefore not verifiable.

Verdict Explained
We encountered a build error while compiling from source code!
As part of our Methodology, we ask:
Can the product be built from the source provided?
If the answer is "no", we mark it as "Failed to build from source provided!".Published code doesn’t help much if the app fails to compile.
We try to compile the published source code using the published build instructions into a binary. If that fails, we might try to work around issues but if we consistently fail to build the app, we give it this verdict and open an issue in the issue tracker of the provider to hopefully verify their app later.
But we also ask:
Was the product updated during the last year?
If the answer is "no", we mark it as "Not updated in a while".Bitcoin wallets are complex products and Bitcoin is a new, advancing technolgy. Projects that don’t get updated in a year are probably not well maintained.
This verdict may not get applied if the provider is active and expresses good reasons for not updating the product.
