Cake Wallet on iPhone IOS not sending or swapping USDC via Solana Network - KNOWN ISSUE

[M0stlyCloudy]

There is an issue with the Cake Wallet IOS with not being able to send or swap USDC via the Solana network.

There is a certain amount of Solana needed for "gas" to make transactions. However even with sufficient Solana "gas" in the wallet, the app continues to give the following error message:

Error_Exception: Insufficient SOL balance to complete this transaction: jsonrpc-2.0 error (-32601): Method not found_

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Cake Wallet'
2. Try to swap/send USDC via the Solana Network
3. Get Error message.

Screenshots from App & Telegram Cake Support response:

Platform:

• OS: iOS 18.1.1 and ALL others
• Device: iPhone 14
• Cake Wallet Version: 4.21.2 and all others.
  

Additional context
Per support, the Cake Dev Team is aware of the of the issue, but I did not see it here in the Github repository, so I want to make sure it's noted as I've had $102 in USDC bricked in the Cake Wallet since early November.

Hi @M0stlyCloudy

Thank you for sharing this.

I have two questions to help in understanding this error and getting a possible fix for it.

• What node were you connected to when you had this issue?
• Did you trying switching the nodes also? If yes, was it the same behaviour with the other nodes?

[M0stlyCloudy]

Hi BlazeBrain! Yes I have tried mutliple nodes while on with support via Telegram (cakewallet_bot). I was on Solana-rpc.publicnode.com:443 for this particular one, but I have used the other two with the same results (rpc,ankr,com & api.mainet-beta.solana:443) in the past with the exact same results. Support recommended that I tried dowloading and opening the Solana wallet in another app like Phantom App or Trust Wallet. I don't want to do that. I want Cake Wallet to work and be the one-stop-shop that I know it can be. Thanks!

Hi @M0stlyCloudy

Thanks for your response, and a big thank you for sticking with Cake Wallet. We're definitely working to give you the best experience here.

We just released a new build(v 4.22.0) to beta testing, can you try testing with the build and see if it fixes this error?

You can check out the full details here: https://forum.cakewallet.com/t/v4-22-0-beta-testing/35

Let me know how it goes and if it fixes the error.

Thank you!

Hi BlazeBrain! I tried to swap/send under the new build (v.4.22.0) and am now receiving a different error message: Error creating associated token account for recipient address. (see pic). However I think this may be progress?

[M0stlyCloudy]

Hello BlazeBrian - any thoughts here on this error message above? Thanks!

Hi @M0stlyCloudy, is the wallet you are trying to send to, a newly created wallet? or is this transaction, its first USDC transaction?
if so, is it possible to try and send to another wallet that had previous transactions?

just wanna narrow down the possibilities of this issue so we can better track it down and fix it

Thank you for being so patient and sorry for any inconvenience

Hey Omar! - both the (XMR when trying swap and Coinbase when trying send) were existing long term wallets with previous USDC transactions (except for the sending/swapping Cake Wallet - which has only received SOL and USDC via SOL from Coinbase wallet/exchange. I hope this makes sense.

Hey Omar! I'm still receiving the Error message: Error creating associated token account for recipient address. This is for both Sending and Swapping the $102 USDC in my Cake Wallet that has been bricked since November. Any help other than "download Phantom Wallet" would be great. Thanks!
