wallet VS BlueWallet

Simple Bitcoin Wallet (version 2.5): Bitcoin wallet

If you could do with just a wallet there's also this https://github.com/btcontract/wallet/releases/tag/2.4.27

why deal with a node if you don't need it? just use blixt or breez or sbw.app and get/buy a private incoming channel and be done with it.

I think you better choose a wallet where you can have more control on the channels you use to pay/receive sats. My recommendation would be for SBW or Blixt, a little more advanced, but great product.

Simple Bitcoin Wallet (version 2.4.27): Bitcoin wallet with Lightning Network support

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "SBW"

But say you work working on an app like Simple Bitcoin Wallet, there's actually a ton of stuff going on there and it's (to my knowledge) a pretty solid piece of engineering.

Good wallets are Muun, Phoenix, Breez or recently i quite like https://sbw.app

BlueWallet does not support Taproot, see https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/issues/3880.

Thus you will import the seed into a better wallet like https://bluewallet.io that can sign the transaction

just use BlueWallet - https://bluewallet.io/ :-) I think it is easier than sparrow

https://bluewallet.io - excellent, easy to use wallet, Open Source and Non-Custodial

If $100 or more, there are some good suggestions like BlueWallet (https://bluewallet.io/).

Exactly this. Blockstream Jade hardware wallet used with Sparrow wallet on a laptop with linux, to make transactions. Then Bluewallet for a watch-only wallet on your phone device.

I also use my blockstream jade airgapped with sparrow wallet on a linux laptop which I have been extremely happy with. You can also use BlueWallet for phone.
