📱xApps ("dApps")

Build your own web app to live in-app, inside Xumm for all Xumm users. Build an xApp. Use your favourite tools & frameworks for the client side code (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.

xApps are web apps. They are offered to users as integrated apps, opened in Xumm for a great user experience. They add value (tools, apps, wizards, ...) for end users. They receive context information when opened, and can interact with some of the native Xumm features & users through Sign Requests.

Please read carefully: Requirements

Permissions

xApps have extra special permissions, allowing the xApp (web app) to interact with some of the native Xumm features:

They receive context (user account selected in Xumm when opened, Xumm theme, input params, account type (eg. Tangem / ...)
They can trigger overlay Sign Requests and receive callback info
They can trigger the QR scanner and receive scanned QR data

Opening xApps

xApps can be opened (triggered) in lots of ways:

In the Xumm shortlist (we feature some apps, they get replaced by frequently used apps by the user)
From the xApp directory
By opening a deeplink (browser / from within another app)
By scanning a QR code

To prevent showing a double loader (first the Xumm xApp loader, then your xApp's loader while hydrating / booting) you can enable the "Xumm Loader Screen" option in the Xumm Developer Console (xApp tab). See ready()

Advanced ways to open xApps

By attaching an xApp memo to an XRPL TX (so the Event list will show there's an xApp attached to the TX)
Using push notifications
From the Event list, as an xApp session pushed to a Xumm user

xApp example use cases

Trading interface (offloads signing to Xumm)
Admission ticket checking
NFT marketplaces / viewers
Issuing tokens, checking tokens
Tools: setting up accounts, crafting advanced transactions, escrows, etc.
Exchange deposit / withdraw integrations

Sample code

<html lang="en">
  <body>
    <h1 id="accountaddress">...</h1>
        
    <script src="https://xumm.app/assets/cdn/xumm.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      var xumm = new Xumm('your-api-key')
      
      xumm.on("ready", () => console.log("Ready (e.g. hide loading state of xApp)"))
  
      // Account can't change (like Web3 logout/login) so we can rely on the promise
      xumm.user.account.then(account => {
        document.getElementById('accountaddress').innerText = account
      })
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
