enhancement - wallet - surface visibility of mainnet / testnet about bitcoinkit

@johndpope What do you mean? HDWallet accepts network type (mainnet or testnet) by a parameter. For Wallet, network type is determined by the key which is corresponded to it. You don't need to modify the library code.

Closing this.

I have use case where it just needs to be clear to end user which network they’re on. It’s doesnt need to switch but just be visible in wallet.

I think when I saw this code - it would be desirable to be able to change the bitcoinkit network without having to recompile code. as in - using it as a pod.

eg. want to be able to hot swap which network from appdelegate.

I don't understand what you are saying. I'm not sure that the behavior you describe is actually desirable. I think that it can be achieved depending on how you implement the application. What kind of support is needed on the library side?

looking at the bread library - they have some ruby scripts to toggle flags from at project level - this might be a better way to switch things moving forward. will close this.
to be clear - the idea that this codebase can be imported by a cocoapod as a dependency as a kit - the developer who consumes library will need some way to override the init call to use either the testnet or mainnet. at the moment that code lives inside bitcoinkit.

You probably misunderstood the API. You can change the behavior just passing parameters in code. Do not need to override or else
