We are currently developing a wallet solution that uses the iOS EEA HCE API’s, during the testing of enabling our wallet as the system default wallet, we are being presented with an iOS system alert that states: “Change the default contactless app? You can double-click to use cards in your default app. If Apple Wallet is not your default wallet app, you’ll need to open Wallet to use its cards, keys and tickets. Express Mode will continue to work when iphone is held near a compatible reader” Please can you advise how we can prevent Apple Pay’s express mode from intercepting the customers preferred wallet actions including transit payments. If this is not possible please can you provide the rationale for this not being possible given the Digital Marketing Act interoperability guidelines and EU Commitments in case AT.40452.

We are currently developing a wallet solution that uses the iOS EEA HCE API. During the development of our solution we have been unable to identify an API that allows us to evaluate the default contactless wallet state on the device. Please can you advise how we can source this information that enables customers to be provided with accurate details of their default wallet state whilst they are using our wallet solution. If this is not possible please can you provide the rationale for this given the Digital Marketing Act interoperability guidelines and EU Commitments in case AT.40452.

on a span of 4 months we sent 2 for nfc entitlement requests and refused , no reason nothing . i mean all we want is the ability to use nfc on passes nothing else , no idea why this is so complex . with google you don’t even need a developer account and it’s for free , here we pay and we can’t even get the full functionality the passes offer , we got the hardware and the solution but we find out we need an nfc entitlement to allow passes to have nfc ? i mean our use case is very simple instead of having barcode on the passes we want them to be via nfc and we already got the nfc hardware but we find out we need nfc entitlement which we tried requesting but getting refused with no reason at all. at least tell u what is the problem what how to fix it not outright refuse without any reason at all. if anyone got any solution please provide.

Hello, I am facing a problem when trying to start the Wallet Extension Flow. It seems that even though the override func status(completion: @escaping (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionStatus) -> Void) of the PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler is called, the override func passEntries(completion: @escaping ([PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionPassEntry]) -> Void) is not called. Note that this issue is reproduced in a device with iOS 18.1 whereas it is working correctly in a device with iOS 17.4. Has something changed regarding the Wallet Extension in iOS 18.1 and above?
