Summary
The current _wallets/bitpay.md entry lists BitPay as a wallet available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux, with its source pointing to bitpay/copay. A code-based verification shows that the listing no longer matches the current state of the project:
- bitpay/copay has not received any push since 2024-07-13 and its README states it is "now BitPay Wallet".
- bitpay/wallet (the desktop/mobile Cordova-based product) is officially declared "no longer actively being maintained" by BitPay in its own README, with the last release (v12.12.2) dating from 2022-07-28.
- bitpay/bitpay-app (the current active product, React Native) is iOS/Android-only. Its latest release (v14.40.5) is from 2026-03-27.
- The URL https://bitpay.com/wallet/download, referenced as the binary download location in the old README, currently returns a 404.
This Issue is opened to bring visibility to the discrepancy so it can be addressed collaboratively, either by updating the entry to reflect the current mobile-only product, or by considering another path forward.

Context from BitPay's own FAQ
BitPay's own FAQ at https://bitpay.com/wallet still states that the BitPay Wallet is available "as a mobile wallet app as well as a desktop wallet application." This appears to be out of date relative to their current active codebase and download infrastructure, but it's worth noting since it may affect how the team chooses to respond.
Possible paths forward
Sharing a few options for discussion, no preference from my side, deferring to maintainer and BitPay team judgment:
-
Update the listing to reflect the current mobile-only product. Platforms limited to Android/iOS, source updated to bitpay/bitpay-app, features updated based on what is actually present in the active codebase.
-
Coordinated vendor update. BitPay team (cc @cmgustavo) could propose the updated entry directly, ensuring the listing reflects their current positioning and roadmap.
-
Defer listing pending clarification. If BitPay does intend to maintain or revive a desktop offering, the listing could remain pending further information from the team.
