Cake Labs1 has released Cake Wallet v4.21.02 with early support for Monero air-gapped wallets via their new companion app Cupcake (v0.1)3, beta support for LTC Ledger hardware wallets, various enhancements and bug fixes:

Cake Wallet now supports reading QR codes for airgapped wallets. This enables people to more securely store their funds offline, with similar security philosophies found in hardware devices like Ledger. [..] Cupcake is already live on the App Store4 and Google Play Store5 with F-Droid going live soon, but it should only be used for testing in its current beta state.
