@ceripower
do you still have this issue?
if yes, would you mind to send us logs via shaking your phone?

[ceripower]

Hey @churik! Thanks for checking in.

I needed to make the transaction urgently so I deleted the app, reinstalled it and tried again and it worked then. Apologies I can't retrieve a log for you relating to the original issue (or is it still helpful if I send something from the now-functioning app?)

[churik]

No, thanks! please send us logs if you have this issue in the future.

this error is happening here in status-go https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/8b61d92d5834215fb06532c527b0bead7b4625d9/account/accounts.go#L159 it can't find KeyFile

[flexsurfer]

as an assumption problem might be in the checksummed address @gravityblast wdyt ? how do we store and finding keyfiles?

[flexsurfer]

for example, if we're trying to sign tx with checksummed and not address in the from the field will be any difference do you lowercase address?

[gravityblast]

@flexsurfer I don't think it can be related because the address received is somehow sanitized with:
addressObj := types.BytesToAddress(types.FromHex(address))
And then the comparison is: types.HexToAddress("0x"+accountKey.Address).Hex() == addressObj.Hex()

so they are always converted to an Address object and then serialized back to hex in the same way.

It's also strange that it happens only now, it would be easy if we can reproduce it.
