Or you can use Alby to throw in there. That’s what I use as my BlueWallet Lightning Wallet. Until BlueWallet comes back out with there Lightning Node. Alby works well!

Well known LN node to connect to?
2 projects | /r/bluewallet | 1 Jun 2023

lnbits.com or getalby.com allow you to use BlueWallet lightning wallet interface. They are custodial, so you could always use a different custodial lightning wallet or a non-custodial one instead.

Lightning invoice
1 project | /r/bluewallet | 5 May 2023

Who is your lightning node provider? BlueWallet did away with there node and left us to figure it out. (I think 🤔) but I use Alby and hit receive and it really doesn’t say “receive with amount” it just has a blue zero and your expected to type in your value. Then hit the “create invoice “ button. When I do this it generates the code and I tap it which copies it. I paste into breeez and it accepts it just fine. So like I ask… what are you using for the lightning wallet in side of BlueWallet? (Please don’t think I’m asking you in a dumb way either… I just found out how to get my lightning wallet up in BlueWallet literally 3 hours before I saw your post)

If any less, then I would recommend Phoenix Wallet (https://phoenix.acinq.co/) since spending that tip will be cheaper for you.
Is the only way to achieve non-custodial lightning wallet, letting user connect to his own lnd?

That comment is incorrect too from a few angles. Both Breez and Phoenix's code is entirely verifiable on their GitHubs (Pheonix Breez). If you're truly concerned about them changing the code in an update you can verify and build the app yourself locally and install it on your phone.
