Paper wallet doesn't work with JAXX on ios

need to verify if the JAXX import feature actually works. It appears to not. I will follow up to seeif there is another ios wallet that might work.

Verified that at least with JAXX, it is expecting a private key encoded in the QR code, not a JSON file.

Sorry not to mention the app, it is this one: https://jaxx.io/ on iOS.

Unfortunately , not OSS. The question I guess was, JAXX imports an eth wallet via QR, but it isn't expecting a UTC json wallet, it is expecting a private key.

I am still looking for a good wallet on the android side that has a QR Code based import. I had no problem importing using the website myetherwallet.

why not try to create a pull request ;-)

you could try to add a qr code in the html for the address private key via class PaperWallet which contains member credentials. and from there it might just be credentials.getEcKeyPair().getPrivateKey(). disclaimer: didn't try this myself ...
