If you lost the ability to Zap this morning on your favorite iOS client, you can still Zap. You just need to rewind the clock and go back to an earlier time when all Android users Zapped from mobile web clients and the Damus iOS TestFlight was full. That's right, back in December and January, we used to send Zaps (before they were called Zaps) from Nostr web clients!

You probably don't want to enter your NSEC private key into a web client, right? You don't have to do that! I'm not an iOS user, so I could be missing a step here, but I believe you have 2 options available to you.

Option 1) Install Nostore app from the App Store. This app acts as a signing device for Safari, allowing you to do NIP-07 login.

Option 2) Install the Orion Browser from the App Store. This is a new web browser that lets you install extensions like Alby or Nos2x! You can then use one of those extensions to do a NIP-07 login.

Once you have an above option that you're comfortable with, you just need to choose a web client such as snort.social, primal.net, coracle.social, or iris.to.

You can still use Damus. You'll just have a separate client for Zapping.

i.e. While using Damus, you see a great note that needs Zapping. You just long press on the Note in Damus to copy the NoteID. Then, you visit one of the clients I mentioned above and either search or paste in the NoteID to be taken directly to the note. You know what comes next. Sweet, sweet Zaps from your iPhone's new web client.

Enjoy!

Are people getting forced updates here?

Are people getting updated even though they are not on testflight and opted out of updates?

This would have severe security implications and I would like to know if that does happen on iPhone. I have never heard this to happen on Android.

that's what people are saying, but i obviously cannot confirm it. i would assume that if you have updates disabled, you actually won't get an update. i would assume it's a user error in these instances.

I believe there’s no force updates in IOS. They may restrict app access instead so users have no option but to update. Not aware of any incident where they pushed an update forcefully
