Overview

We are resurrecting the effort to have Litewallet Android to have bech32 support. If you recall, we wanted to have bech32 for both iOS and Android a few years ago.

We have a working solution in the production version of Litewallet iOS in that it accepts and sends to bech32 addresses. bech32 origination/wallet is in the future.

For Litewallet Android, we were unable to upgrade as it would have destroyed tens of thousands of users Litewallet databases on older devices and they would lose access to their Litecoin. This would be very bad.

Current Approach

Recently we upgraded the Litewallet Android code which uses newer versions of Android OS and by default the older devices would be unable to upgrade yet the presumption is they would still have access to the pre v2.6.1 versions of Litewallet.

This effort will try to test the previous work against the latest version of Litewallet and we will scope the negatively affected prior to rollout.
