There's Now an Open Source Coinbase App for iOS Available on the App Store
Great news, Coinbase users. An open-source variant of the Coinbase app for iOS is now available from Apple's App Store - just over seven months after the official application was mysteriously pulled by Apple. The app is using the Coinbase API to make a connection to the service, but before you begin worrying, both Olaf Carlson-Wee and another staff member chimed into a Reddit thread noting that the app is the real deal, though it hasn't been officially released by Coinbase themselves.

In what could probably only be described as a short-lived adventure, Apple has killed the official Coinbase application from the iOS App Store. The app, launched in late October, allowed users to buy, sell, and keep the app as an online wallet.

BitPay isn't the only company having some fun with open source projects. San Francisco-based Coinbase announced Wednesday the launch of a new project called Toshi (most likely after Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin's creator).
