Celia’s latest wallet update has been held up after an issue was flagged during the iOS app submission process. CEO Emmanuel Afula said Apple’s App Store review team identified the problem on March 4, 2026. The team responded and is now waiting for approval before moving ahead.
The delay affects more than a routine app release. It has also pushed renewed attention toward the timeline for the CELIA token launch and listing. Even though the Android version already cleared Google Play review, the team chose not to release it on its own and instead paused the rollout for a coordinated launch across both mobile platforms.
Approved on Android, but still held for a unified release
The project said it wants iOS and Android users to receive the same update at the same time. The goal is to avoid uneven feature access, compatibility gaps, or a split user experience between platforms. For a Web3 wallet that combines blockchain functions, asset management, and payment utilities, that kind of coordination matters.
A screenshot shared by the team showed an App Store Connect notice indicating a submission problem that required developer action. That type of review friction is common for apps dealing with crypto transactions and digital assets. For now, the release remains paused while the team waits on Apple.
April utilities are set to add on-chain payments with CELIA fees
Despite the iOS setback, Celia has outlined what comes next for the wallet. Co-founder Favour Afula said new utilities are scheduled for April 2026. These features are intended to let users pay for everyday services inside the wallet, access financial services, and use integrated tools described as similar to mobile banking utilities.
The project added that all transaction fees will be paid in CELIA tokens and processed fully on-chain. That gives the token a defined role inside the product’s payment flow. The team also said it partnered with a bank about 18 months ago to build the required infrastructure. Keeping that partnership active was described as expensive, but the project maintained it to support later Web3 utility rollout.
More than 1 million downloads keep attention on the next milestones
According to the source material, the platform already supports sending and receiving crypto, token swaps, and wallet asset management. It has recorded more than 1 million downloads. The project also referenced a coming mainnet migration and wallet utility update, both of which are tied closely to expectations around token claim timing and a possible exchange listing.
Community discussion has centered on a few unanswered questions: when token claims will begin, how pricing may look once trading starts, and how mining rewards could translate into circulating supply. The team has not given a new public date for those milestones in the material provided. Its immediate focus remains obtaining Apple’s approval and releasing the wallet update simultaneously on iOS and Android.
