Hello, There is a new shortcut recently in iOS shortcuts called "Open [Pass or Card]". It looks to take in a [Pass or Card] type, however I'd like to program it with a shortcut to dynamically select a card, and I noticed it works with strings, such as "BofA Customized Cash Rewards". Would there be a list of possible strings for supported cards and/or passes that I could pass in for this shortcut?

Hi everyone, I’m encountering a challenge while working with Apple's PKPass for boarding passes and would appreciate any guidance. We are generating boarding passes for users and want them to automatically display on the lock screen as the boarding time approaches. To do this, we are utilizing the relevantDate property. The issue arises because, when setting the relevantDate, the date and time are specified in Zulu time (UTC). However, iOS converts this to the device's local time zone (BST in my case), resulting in a one-hour shift. For instance, in pass.json, I set "relevantDate": "2024-10-03T14:35:00+00:00" (or "relevantDate": "2024-10-03T14:35Z"). While iOS does display the pass on the lock screen as expected, the notification shows the time as "Today at 15:25" instead of the correct "14:25." Expected behaviour: the notication text should display the exact time set in the relevantDate( i.e. Today at 14:25). Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, We have a bank app which can activate tokenized payment cards (in Requires Activation status) on Apple devices. In my case some customers tried to activate their card token on their Apple Watch. Our card system gathered all the required card data with the PNO and sent them to our app. Our app called the PKPassLibrary.activate() method, but got back the Swedish localizedDescription "Oväntat fel" which means "Unexpected error" in English. We checked our card system logs and contacted our PNO, both found no issue and no explanation to the unexpected error. How can we identify the issue here? Can we somehow find a more detailed error log from Apple Server? Best regards, Adrian Lui

Hello, I have existing application that was created 2 years ago and we wanted to start developing wallet, but in order to do that I need to create new Identifiers with In-App Provisioning but unfortunately it is missing. Any idea on how to solve that?

Hello, I’m working on creating an NFC-enabled Apple Wallet pass and I need assistance with the proper implementation of the pass.json file to include NFC functionality. My goal is to enable NFC interactions, such as tapping to unlock a door or interacting with other NFC systems. Here is what I have done so far: Set up a Pass Type ID and Certificates: I have registered a Pass Type ID in my Apple Developer account. I have generated and installed the required certificates (Pass Type ID certificate and WWDR certificate). Backend Integration: I have set up a backend service for generating passes, and I can successfully create and deliver standard Wallet passes without the NFC functionality. Adding the NFC Field: I understand that to enable NFC interactions, I need to add an nfc dictionary to the pass.json file. The key components for NFC include the encryptionPublicKey, message, and payload. Here’s an example of my current pass.json: { "formatVersion": 1, "passTypeIdentifier": "pass.com.example.mypass", "serialNumber": "123456", "teamIdentifier": "TEAMID12345", "webServiceURL": "https://example.com/api/passes", "authenticationToken": "my_secure_token", "nfc": { "message": "Tap to unlock door", "encryptionPublicKey": "MY_ENCRYPTION_PUBLIC_KEY", "payload": "encrypted_nfc_payload" }, "organizationName": "My Company", "description": "NFC-Enabled Access Pass", "logoText": "My NFC Pass", "foregroundColor": "rgb(255, 255, 255)", "backgroundColor": "rgb(0, 0, 0)", "barcode": { "format": "PKBarcodeFormatQR", "message": "https://example.com", "messageEncoding": "iso-8859-1" } } Questions: Are there any additional steps or configurations required to ensure that NFC is enabled in the pass? Is there a specific method to test or validate NFC functionality in the pass to debug why it’s not being activated? Any guidance or solutions to enable NFC in this pass would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

We have a Web server for Apple Pass and we received a complaint from a user because the Pass is being deleted every few days from the Apple Wallet App and the user had to reinstall the pass every time. Upon checking our server logs we found DELETE (unregister) requests that were not initiated by the user. Here are some (there are more) of those logs (I replaced some details with * for privacy): From July [29/Jul/2024:23:06:30 +0000] "DELETE /apple_wallet/v1/devices/****/registrations/pass.com..*/** HTTP/1.1" 200 31 "-" "passd/1.0 CFNetwork/1496.0.7 Darwin/23.5.0" From August [17/Aug/2024:22:51:33 +0000] "DELETE /apple_wallet/v1/devices/****/registrations/pass.com..*/** HTTP/1.1" 200 31 "-" "passd/1.0 CFNetwork/1498.700.2 Darwin/23.6.0" From September [08/Sep/2024:23:32:11 +0000] "DELETE /apple_wallet/v1/devices/****/registrations/pass.com...*/** HTTP/1.1" 200 31 "-" "passd/1.0 CFNetwork/1498.700.2 Darwin/23.6.0" Other information for this specific user/device: Phone 14 Pro Max - iOS 17.6 User has few other passes installed but none has disappeared only our issued pass. We are hoping to get some help from Apple to figure out why the DELETE request is being sent out to our server without being initiated by the user. I have already filed a ticket to Apple with Case-ID: 9315232 But I haven't gotten any feedback after a few weeks and some follow ups.

In the case of YellowFlow with In-App verification, I understand we have to configure the Launch URL (deep linking) in the PNO portal to open the app from Wallet and proceed with In-App Verification. How do we identify or retrieve information about the card the user tries to verify from the wallet when the app is opened through deep linking? I understand we can query for all secure passes and get the pass activation state to see if any of the passes require activation, How can I verify this is the card the user is trying to activate from the wallet app? What information can I receive from the PassKit SDK that I can send to the backend to identify, resolve, and activate the card?

Hello All, My team and I are developing a mobile application (offgrid) to help combat screen addiction. Our application will allow users through gamification, to challenge each other to stay off certain predetermined apps on their phone for a set amount of time and risk their own money. The money will act as a reinforcement to stay focused and off the application. Example: Jon challenges Jen to stay off Instagram for 1 hour for $5. If Jen accepts the challenge, she and Jon cannot go on Instagram. If Jen or Jon decides to click the Instagram app within the hour, the $5 automatically goes to the winner via Apple Pay or another service. If they complete the challenge and stay off Instagram then there is no exchange of money. I will also give the option for users to challenge each other and risk their money for a charity cause if someone loses. My question is, will the exchange of money count as an in-app purchase, or will the winner receive the full amount? Also, if the money goes to charity, will that count as an in-app purchase? Thanks!

I'm trying to add a pass to Apple Wallet, but it isn't being detected when I attempt to add it. I've created the .pkpass file, and it contains the following files: en.lproj/ icon.png icon@2x .png manifest.json pass.json signature { "formatVersion": 1, "passTypeIdentifier": "pass.com.yourdomain.com", "serialNumber": "123456", "teamIdentifier": "5ZXXXXXX", "description": "This is an Event Pass", "eventTicket": { "primaryFields": [ { "key": "event", "label": "EVENT", "value": "Concert" } ], "secondaryFields": [ { "key": "location", "label": "LOCATION", "value": "Example Venue" }, { "key": "date", "label": "DATE", "value": "2024-08-15" } ], "auxiliaryFields": [ { "key": "time", "label": "TIME", "value": "7:00 PM" } ], "backFields": [ { "key": "terms", "label": "TERMS & CONDITIONS", "value": "Non-refundable. Please arrive 30 minutes early." } ], "barcode": { "message": "1234567890", "format": "PKBarcodeFormatQR", "messageEncoding": "iso-8859-1" } }, "organizationName": "ORGANIZATION NAME", "logoText": "Concert 2024", "foregroundColor": "rgb(255, 255, 255)", "backgroundColor": "rgb(0, 0, 0)", "eventTicketStrip": { "primaryFields": [ { "key": "event", "label": "Event", "value": "Concert" } ] }, "relevantDate": "2024-08-15T19:00:00Z" } What I've Done So Far: Validated the Manifest: The SHA-1 hashes in the manifest.json match the actual files in the package. Checked the pass.json: It seems to be correctly formatted, and all fields are populated. Verified Pass Structure: The .pkpass file structure appears to be correct. Validate with PKpass Validator: It's seems like all points are valid I put screenshot over here. My Questions: What could be preventing Apple Wallet from detecting this pass? How can I verify if the signature is correctly applied? Are there any recommended online tools or methods to debug this pass and identify what might be wrong? I've tried using a few online validators, but the issue persists. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

I have an Apple wallet and iPhone 16 pro max. Every time I restart the phone, which I need to do at least once every day to fix bugs, my wallet is not recognized

The Wallet Passes docs, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/walletpasses seem to be missing any information about the features coming in iOS 18, specifically the new posterEventType, new semantic tags, and how to build out the event guide for a given ticket. WWDC24 session: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10108

iOS 18 announced improvements to the Wallet Passes. Does anyone have a link to the updated documentation? The old documentation does not have the changes as of the time of this post. There is a video, however, there are no specifications for the the new image formats (e.g., artwork.png).

Hi there, I'm using a PHP library to generate a apple wallet card. In the end my code generates a .pkpass file, but for some reason iOS does not recognize it as a wallet object, instead just as a .pkpass file which in can save in my downloads/documents. Any idea?

Hi there, I'm using php to create a qr code card for your apple wallet. Hereby I'm using this package: https://github.com/chiiya/laravel-passes Currently I got this far, that it creates a temporary directory filled with the needed files, including: icon.png, logo.png, manifest.json, pass.json and a signature file. After that temp directory gets created it creates a .pkpass file. Which will be downloaded to your system using an anchor tag button with controller method behind. For some reason on my iPhone I can only download it as file (the .pkpass file) and not as an actual wallet card. Any idea what is going wrong?

We have a requirement to include Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our Mobile Application and we have an API from Backend to get the tokenReferenceID for a given Card. I want to query the passes from Apple Wallet to see if there are any matches to the given tokenReferenceID before I can decide whether to show the “Add to Apple Wallet” button or not. I went through all PassKit APIs but couldn’t find a way to query for passes with tokenReferenceID. We have primaryAccountIdentifier, deviceAccountIdentifier but which one should be used to match with tokenReferenceID? Can someone please help me how to query the Wallet passes with tokenReferenceID using PassKit?

I am encountering an issue related to the status property within the payment object of the order.json file when opening an order in the iOS Wallet. According to the official documentation, the status property in the payment object is marked as deprecated. Based on this information, I removed the status property from the order.json. However, when I attempt to open the order in the iOS Wallet app, an error occurs, preventing the order from being opened. This creates confusion, as the documentation implies that the status property in the payment object is no longer required. However, the iOS Wallet app seems to still rely on the presence of this property or encounters an error when it’s missing. Tested on IOS 17.6.1 & IOS 18

I am developing In-App Provisioning functionality within an iOS application. When I try to perform the process, the process fails and the following is displayed on the screen: "Your issuer does not yet offer support for this card". The PassbookUIService logs show: https://nc-pod8-smp device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cards 200 Time profile: 0.25497 seconds { auxiliaryCapabilities = { }; eligibilityStatus = 0; sanitizedPrimaryAccountPrefix = ""; } ProvisioningStepEligibility: received eligibility status: 0 Showing eligibility issue with reason: 2 ProvisioningOperationComposer: Step 'eligibility' failed with error (null) Would like to seek your help to investigate the problem. Thanks

Hello, I’m encountering an issue with Apple Wallet orders. Every time I send an order file to my iPhone, I get the error message: “Error reading order file.” Steps Taken: 1. Order File Structure: • I created an order.json file with the minimal required fields, including: • Order Type Identifier (created on the Apple Developer portal) • Merchant Identifier: (created on the Apple Developer portal) • Status: open • Other necessary fields, such as authenticationToken, createdAt, updatedAt, and payment. 2. Manifest and Signature: • A manifest.json file was generated with the SHA-256 hash for each file (e.g., order.json, images). • The manifest was signed using my Apple developer certificates: • Signer Certificate: signerCert.pem • Signer Key: signerKey.pem • WWDR Certificate: wwdr.pem • Verification of the manifest and signature was done using OpenSSL: • Command used: openssl smime -verify -in signature -inform DER -content manifest.json -noverify • The verification was successful, but the iPhone still returns the error. 3. File Packaging: • The final package includes the following files: • order.json • Images (e.g., gardenya_logo.png) • manifest.json • signature • The files were packaged into a .order file (renamed from .zip). 4. Apple WWDR Certificate: • I used Apple WWDR MP CA 1 - G1 for signing the package. Issue: Despite following all steps in the Apple documentation, the order file cannot be read by the iPhone, and the error message displayed is “Error reading order file.” Additional Information: • Manifest and Signature: Both files have been validated and match the package contents. • Apple Developer Certificates: Used valid Apple Developer certificates. • Order Schema: The order.json file follows Apple’s schema for orders. Could you please provide guidance on resolving this issue? Any suggestions on what could be causing the error, or additional steps to check, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
