The release of EOS open source iOS wallet app will allow developers to provide support for “inter-application transaction signing on native mobile devices”.
EOS is slowly emerging as a powerful blockchain network for building decentralized applications (DApps). A number of big crypto projects have pledged their support on deploying DApps on the EOS blockchain network. However, DApp developers have been eagerly waiting for creating wallets on the EOSIO network.
On Tuesday, May 28, EOSIO creator and developer Daniel Larimer announced the release of their open source iOS wallet app and chrome extensions.

Thus, with the introduction of this new iOS wallet App, developers will be able to provide support for “inter-application transaction signing on native mobile devices”. EOSIO has provided a reference iOS Authenticator App with features like seamless, multi-network support without requiring the app to communicate with the nodes or chains directly.
Besides, the app securely store private keys while employing the use of biometrics to sign the transactions.

Yesterday, the EOS price attained a major milestone surging past $8 before a slight pullback. The price surge was majorly due to Block.one spending over $25 million on RAM from the official B1 account. RAM is the general storage space on the EOS memory database and is precious for developers to the development of DApps.
