New Feature
Add option under Settings > Development to enable testnet. The app is so nice that I wish I could use it while I'm developing to Stelalr env as well.
Please detailed description of how you propose the feature could work:
With this option enabled, requests would switch from https://horizon.stellar.org to https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org.
Hey @fnando - I like this idea! There’s often times I’m working on the app and want to switch to do some testing on a testnet as well... I’ll add this to our list of “nice to haves”.
Hey @fnando, just to stay on top of open issues... after the work to extract the Stellar logic from around the application into a separate framework, this would be able to be implemented today.
I am, however, hesitant to expose this option in a consumer-facing application on the app store without some careful thinking about how to not let users accidentally enable it. My initial thoughts are to bury it a couple levels deep in the application settings.
Before I do that eventually, can you tell me a little bit more about how you run the app? Do you build it from source, or are you strictly installing from the App Store?
I only tried the App Store release.
What about adding an option under iPhone's Settings > BlockEQ > Advanced > Enable Development Mode (this view can have some additional information about why this exists).
One suggestion for this: instead of just enabling/disabling testnet, make it an input that defaults to Stellar's horizon testnet, but enabling any horizon instance to be used.
