Changes

Support for reading and emulating NFC tags

Phoenix can now read NFC tags, as well as broadcast a Phoenix Bitcoin address or Lightning payment request via NFC. This comes as an alternative to QR codes for sharing payment requests between devices.

This is available on both iOS and Android, if the device supports it. Note that on iOS, emulating a NFC tag is limited to users in the European Economic Area, due to restrictions by Apple. If tag emulation is not available for you, the "NFC" button will not be visible in the Receive screen.

Added a new Spending PIN

This PIN controls spending and is separate from the Lock PIN, which control who can open the app. This is useful if you want to let someone use your wallet to receive funds, but not be able to spend (or view the seed).

This feature is available in v2.6.2, on iOS released soon.

Fixed an issue with LNURL withdrawals

Android only, see #708.
