Recovered wallet not shown after app restart in Cupcake

[Rovikin]

I've recently been trying both Cake Wallet and Cupcake to send XMR.

In my experience, Cake Wallet works just fine. I tested several features — exporting outputs, scanning key images, and more — and everything went smoothly.

But with Cupcake, I noticed something feels off. I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug. After I recovered my wallet using the 16-word polyseed and did normal stuff like signing transactions, everything was okay... until I killed the app. When I reopened Cupcake, it showed me the initial screen asking to either recover or create a new wallet — like I never recovered anything before.

But when I tried to recover again, it showed a notification that the wallet already exists. Which makes sense, because I already restored it earlier. The weird part is, there’s no option to open that existing wallet after restarting the app. No button, no menu — nothing.

That’s pretty much it. I hope the Cake Wallet devs can look into this issue and maybe push an update. I don’t have any programming skills myself, but if I did, I’d love to contribute and help solve it.

Cupcake is undergoing a major rewrite - this issue will most likely get fixed in upcoming release. As a temporary workaround you can try to create new wallet - it should show your previous wallet in the list as well

Appreciate the heads up! I’ll try the new wallet workaround for now. Looking forward to the next update sounds like it’s gonna be a big one!
