Latest Updates
In a recent development update by the team at Verge, the community notified on the progress of the following:

The iOS wallet is still being worked on with plans underway to launch a Beta 1 version. 20 testers of the wallet will be randomly chosen from twitter. They will be picked from the followers of the team on the social media platform. TOR integration on the iOS wallet has also been solved by the team.
With regards to Stealth Addressing, the team is planning on integrating it into the current “xvg-bitcore-lib” based on a native language basis. The first steps have already been built on a JavaScript-based system. From this, the team aims at transferring into other languages like Java and Swift.
Stealth addressing is particularly key for the project, and the team promises to dedicate considerable time towards its completion.
