Nova Wallet iOS App Store Availability Update

Updated October 22, 2026 · By the Nova Wallet team

Nova Wallet is currently unavailable for new downloads from the iOS App Store following the termination of our Apple Developer account. We are waiting to hear back from Apple about getting Nova back on the store. We do not have a confirmed return date.

We know this creates uncertainty, especially if you already use Nova on your iPhone or are trying to download it for the first time. Here is the current status, what existing users should consider, and where to find official updates.

Why is Nova Wallet missing from the App Store?

Nova’s Apple Developer account was terminated, affecting our ability to distribute Nova Wallet through the App Store. As of October 22, 2026, we are still waiting for further communication from Apple about restoring availability.

We will share confirmed changes through our official channels. We cannot promise when Nova will return or what the outcome will be.

What should existing Nova iPhone users do?

If Nova is already installed, keep the app and its local data in place while you review your recovery setup. Avoid deleting or reinstalling it just to troubleshoot the store listing: you may not be able to download it again while it is unavailable.

Before replacing, resetting, or erasing your iPhone, make sure you understand the recovery method you previously set up. A device passcode, an app login, and a wallet recovery phrase are different things; do not assume one replaces another.

Read our guide to protecting your wallet recovery details. If you are unsure about your setup, contact Nova support before making changes that could remove local wallet data. Never send support your recovery phrase, private keys, backup passwords, or one-time codes.

Does App Store removal affect my Solana assets?

The App Store listing and the assets recorded on Solana are separate. Removing an app from the store does not itself erase on-chain balances. Your ability to access a wallet still depends on your credentials, recovery setup, device, and the software you use.

Nova is a self-custody Solana wallet. That means recovery details matter: our support team cannot reconstruct a missing private key or recovery phrase. Our self-custody wallet guide explains the basics.

Where can I access Nova while iOS downloads are unavailable?

The Nova web app is an official place to explore Nova in your browser. Visit our download page for official platform links and current download options. Features and recovery methods can differ between platforms; web access does not automatically restore an existing iPhone wallet.

Be careful with search ads, unofficial app downloads, direct messages, and websites claiming to offer a replacement iOS version or a special recovery process. Verify links through Nova’s official website. Never enter wallet secrets into a page simply because it promises to restore access.

There is no confirmed date as of October 22, 2026. We are waiting for further communication from Apple and will announce confirmed developments.

Should I delete Nova from my iPhone?

Avoid deleting it just because the App Store listing is unavailable. First review your recovery setup and keep your existing installation and data intact.
