⚠️ Important: This APK is signed with the official BoldWallet keystore.
It is not compatible with the version distributed via F-Droid.
Always install updates from one source only to avoid signature conflicts.
- You can build the Android APK yourself, via Auto Builder or Manual Build as below.
- iOS builds follow React-Native iphone–guide
Relies on docker (Dockerfile) - guaranteed quick way to compile and release the APK.
Build the APK seamlessly following the steps:
- Optional: edit android/release.sh when needed:
KEYSTORE_FILE="my-release-key.jks"
KEY_ALIAS="my-key"
KEYSTORE_PASSWORD="your_keystore_password"
KEY_PASSWORD="your_key_password"- Run Docker Script Runner:
# use sudo if needed for docker
# This will take time given your PC performance (couple of minutes up to 30 minutes)
# When done, the app-release.apk is generated within the BoldWallet folder
> sh docker-apk-builder.sh --fdroid #optional, for F-Droid foss tailored build
> sh docker-apk-builder.sh --fdroid --git=main #optional, which git "branch,tag, or commit-hash" to use
Manual build, requires manual and extra efforts to compiles the app on your PC.
BoldWallet is a typical React Native Mobile Based App ( android / iOS ).
- Built using node v20.18.1
- npm install
- To rebuild the android/app/libs/tss.aar:
- Check the BBMTLib/README.md, Android Section
- For Android APK build:
- cd android
- ./release.sh
- APK generated under: ./android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
If you need to recover or spend Bitcoin from your keyshares without using the mobile app, you can use the command-line recovery tools. This is useful if:
- The mobile app is unavailable or not working
- You need to recover funds from keyshare backups
- You want to use the wallet from a desktop environment
Bold Wallet provides cross-platform CLI tools for recovering and spending Bitcoin from keyshare backups:
bold-spendbinary (Recommended) - Works on Windows, Linux, and macOSspend-bitcoin.shscript - Unix/Linux/macOS only
- Keyshare files: Both keyshare backup files (
.sharefiles from mobile app or.ksfiles) - Passphrases: If your keyshares are encrypted
- Network info: Mainnet or testnet
- Derivation path: BIP32 path for your wallet address type
# Navigate to BBMTLib directory
cd BBMTLib
# Build the recovery binary
./build-bold-spend.sh
# Preview transaction (estimate fee)
./bin/bold-spend-darwin-arm64 \
--to-address <recipient_address> \
--amount-sats <amount> \
--network testnet3 \
--mempool-url https://mempool.space/testnet/api \
--derivation-path "m/84'/1'/0'/0/0" \
