Splitting up auth and gaia in the iOS SDK

• Ken and Aaron: will cause developer confusion and won’t match blockstack.js.
• Blockstack.putFile will use the app’s default Gaia hub.

Gaia and Auth separation

• How do you separate auth from Gaia if Blockstack auth is the only way to authenticate with Gaia?
• Gaia does not have to rely on Blockstack auth, it’s just how the library works right now
• Have handlePendingSignIn call a separate Gaia.js, which will establish a Gaia Hub Session
• Jude will take a crack at the separate Gaia.js this week

Multiplayer storage in iOS SDK

• Shreyas will prioritize implementation this week (https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-ios/issues/40)

Longer derivation paths for apps key

• Aaron has 2 PR’s in browser and blockstack.js ready
• Major change, because it’s a change in the way we do key derivation
• Will need to release new version of blockstack.js before integration into the browser
