Core Components

Storage System

StorageProtocol

Core interface for data persistence operations.

public protocol StorageProtocol {
    var allKeys: [String] { get }
    func findKey(_ keyword: String) throws -> [String]
    func get(_ key: String) throws -> Data?
    func set(_ key: String, value: Data) throws
    func remove(_ key: String) throws
    func removeAll() throws
}

KeychainStorage

Implementation of StorageProtocol using iOS Keychain for secure storage.

public class KeychainStorage: StorageProtocol {
    public let keychain: Keychain
    
    public init(service: String) {
        keychain = Keychain(service: service)
    }
    
    // Implementation of StorageProtocol methods
}

Key Management

KeyProtocol

Base interface for cryptographic keys with methods for creation, retrieval, and signing.

public protocol KeyProtocol: Identifiable {
    associatedtype Key
    associatedtype Secret
    associatedtype Advance
    
    var keyType: KeyType { get }
    var storage: StorageProtocol { set get }
    
    static func create(_ advance: Advance, storage: StorageProtocol) throws -> Key
    static func create(storage: StorageProtocol) throws -> Key
    static func createAndStore(id: String, password: String, storage: StorageProtocol) throws -> Key
    static func get(id: String, password: String, storage: StorageProtocol) throws -> Key
    static func restore(secret: Secret, storage: StorageProtocol) throws -> Key
    
    func store(id: String, password: String) throws
    func publicKey(signAlgo: Flow.SignatureAlgorithm) -> Data?
    func privateKey(signAlgo: Flow.SignatureAlgorithm) -> Data?
    func sign(data: Data, signAlgo: Flow.SignatureAlgorithm, hashAlgo: Flow.HashAlgorithm) throws -> Data
    // Additional methods...
}

Key types supported:

  • secureEnclave: Uses Apple's Secure Enclave
  • seedPhrase: Mnemonic-based (BIP39)
  • privateKey: Standard private key
  • keyStore: Key store file

Key Implementations

  1. PrivateKey: Standard private key implementation

    public class PrivateKey: KeyProtocol {
    public var keyType: KeyType = .privateKey
    public var storage: StorageProtocol
    
    // Properties for both P256 and secp256k1 keys
    // Implementation of key management and signing operations
}

  2. SecureEnclaveKey: Uses Apple's Secure Enclave for enhanced security

    public class SecureEnclaveKey: KeyProtocol {
    public var keyType: KeyType = .secureEnclave
    public var storage: StorageProtocol
    
    // Implementation using SecureEnclave
}

  3. SeedPhraseKey: Mnemonic phrase-based key generation

    public class SeedPhraseKey: KeyProtocol {
    public var keyType: KeyType = .seedPhrase
    public var storage: StorageProtocol
    
    // BIP39 implementation
}

Account Management

Account

Represents a Flow blockchain account with signing capabilities.

public class Account {
    var childs: [Account]? // Child accounts such as dapper wallet
    var vm: [Account]? // VM account such as flow-EVM Account
    
    let account: Flow.Account
    let key: (any KeyProtocol)?
    
    // Methods for working with accounts and signing transactions
}

Key features:

  • Contains Flow.Account reference
  • Has optional key reference for signing operations
  • Implements FlowSigner protocol for transaction signing
  • Methods to find compatible keys
  • Support for child accounts and VM accounts

Wallet

Main wallet class that manages accounts across different networks.

public class Wallet: ObservableObject {
    public let type: WalletType
    public var networks: Set<Flow.ChainID>
    
    @Published
    public var accounts: [Flow.ChainID: [Account]]?
    
    // Methods for account fetching, network operations, and caching
}

Wallet Types:

public enum WalletType {
    case key(any KeyProtocol)
    case watch(Flow.Address)
    // case redirect (Ledger, Hardware wallet)
}

Key features:

  • Manages accounts across different networks
  • Handles account fetching and caching
  • Support for watch-only and signing wallets

Network

Manages blockchain API interactions and account discovery by looking up account from Key Indexer API.

public enum Network {
    public static func findAccount(publicKey: String, chainID: Flow.ChainID) async throws -> KeyIndexerResponse
    public static func findAccountByKey(publicKey: String, chainID: Flow.ChainID) async throws -> [KeyIndexerResponse.Account]
    public static func findFlowAccountByKey(publicKey: String, chainID: Flow.ChainID) async throws -> [Flow.Account]
}

Response structure:

public struct KeyIndexerResponse: Codable {
    public let publicKey: String
    public let accounts: [Account]
    
    public struct Account: Codable, Hashable {
        public let address: String
        public let keyId: Int
        public let weight: Int
        // Additional properties
    }
}

Key Features

  1. Multi-network support: Works with Flow mainnet, testnet, and other networks
  2. Multiple key types: Supports various key security methods
  3. Account hierarchy: Manages main accounts, child accounts, and VM accounts
  4. Transaction signing: Implements Flow signing protocols
  5. Data persistence: Secure storage for keys and account information

Main Workflow

  1. Initialize FWKManager with storage configuration:

    FWKManager.setup(Config(storage: KeychainStorage(service: "com.flowwalletkit")))

  2. Create or retrieve keys:

    let key = try SeedPhraseKey.create(storage: FWKManager.shared.storage)
// or
let key = try PrivateKey.get(id: "saved-key-id", password: "user-password", storage: FWKManager.shared.storage)

  3. Create a Wallet instance:

    let wallet = Wallet(type: .key(key), networks: [.mainnet, .testnet])

  4. Access accounts:

    if let mainnetAccounts = wallet.accounts?[.mainnet] {
    // Use accounts
}

  5. Sign transactions:

    let account = wallet.accounts?[.mainnet]?.first
let signature = try await account?.sign(transaction: txn, signableData: signableData)

Error Handling

The library provides a comprehensive error type:

public enum WalletError: Error {
    case emptySignKey
    case invaildWalletType
    case incorrectKeyIndexerURL
    case keyIndexerRequestFailed
    case loadCacheFailed
    case noImplement
    // Additional error cases
}

Security Considerations

  • Keys are securely stored in the Keychain
  • Secure Enclave option for maximum hardware security
  • Password-based encryption for sensitive data
  • BIP39 standard for seed phrase management

Conclusion

Flow Wallet Kit provides a comprehensive, secure, and flexible framework for building Flow blockchain wallets on mobile. Its modular architecture supports various key management approaches and security requirements, making it suitable for a wide range of wallet applications.
