We have developed an app that communicates with an external reader using BLE, and the reader also supports NFC. We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement required to enable Pass Presentation Suppression, referencing Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpasslibrary/requestautomaticpasspresentationsuppression(responsehandler:) In most cases, this works as expected and the Wallet popup does not appear. However, in some cases — particularly when the app is running in the foreground — the Wallet still appears for users. We have verified that the app bundle includes the required entitlement, and the Info.plist correctly specifies the Pass Presentation Suppression key set to true. Could you please help us understand under what conditions this behavior might still occur, or if any additional configuration is required?

I’m building a Wallet pass that stores a customer’s proof of product ownership and digital receipts — used for circular-economy actions (recycling, returning, reselling, or gifting a product). There is no payment functionality involved; it’s purely a record/receipt store with an earned points balance. I’d like the pass to have the look and feel of a payment/bank card. My questions: 1. Is it possible to present a pass with a payment-card-style appearance through standard PassKit, without being a bank or Apple Pay payment issuer? 2. If that exact card surface is reserved for Apple Pay payment cards, is storeCard the closest supported style for a card that displays an earned balance? Are there any restrictions on using storeCard this way (i.e. a balance not tied to payments)? 3. Any policy or review considerations when a single pass represents both product ownership and a rewards balance? I want to build on the correct, supported pass style from the start rather than discover a constraint later. Thanks for any guidance.

Platform: iOS 26.5 · PassKit (semantic boarding pass) Summary When a .pkpass boarding pass uses the iOS 26 upgraded semantic format (preferredStyleSchemes: ["semanticBoardingPass", "boardingPass"]) for a real, scheduled flight that Apple's live flight data feed recognizes, the Wallet Live Activity (Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Wallet card "Welcome to …" copy) renders the destination city name in English, regardless of the value supplied in semantics.destinationCityName or the device's locale. On a German-locale iPhone, a flight arriving at MUC produces the grammatically broken string "Willkommen bei Munich" — German system-supplied prefix concatenated with the English city noun from Apple's flight data, instead of the expected "Willkommen in München". Steps to reproduce Build a .pkpass for any real, currently-scheduled flight whose destination city has a German-language variant (e.g. SK2657 CPH→MUC, 4Y1261 HER→MUC). Populate semantics with full iOS 26 fields including: "destinationAirportCode": "MUC", "destinationAirportName": "München", "destinationCityName": "München", "destinationLocationDescription": "Flughafen München Franz Josef Strauß" Install on an iPhone running iOS 26.1+ with Language: Deutsch, Region: Deutschland. Open the pass within Wallet's live-activity window. Expected: "Willkommen in München" Actual: "Willkommen bei Munich" What I believe is happening Apple's live flight data feed overrides the destinationCityName semantic tag with an English-only value sourced from the feed (presumably IATA / OAG). The iOS 26.1 liveDataConfiguration.excludedSemantics allow-list does not include destinationCityName or destinationAirportName, so there is currently no developer-side mechanism to either: submit a localized destination city, or opt out of the override while keeping live updates active. The PassKit destinationCityName schema is typed as a plain localizable string (single value), with no translations variant comparable to what some third-party pass APIs expose. The "localizable" annotation in the docs is misleading for this field, because pass.strings lookups are not applied to semantic values once the live flight feed supplies them. What I'd like to know Is this the intended behavior, or is destinationCityName missing from the documented excludedSemantics allow-list by omission rather than design? Is there a supported way for an airline (or a developer issuing passes on an airline's behalf) to ship localized destination city names that survive the live-data merge? If neither (1) nor (2): is there an intent to either localize Apple's flight-data city tokens by device locale, or expand excludedSemantics to cover destination/departure city + airport names in a future iOS 26.x release?

I've tried to add the "Pass Type Identifiers" entitlement manually in .entitlements, but it will not archive and shows the error: Entitlement com.apple.developer.pass-type-identifiers not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file. It works correctly for the App (parent of ), but without it the App Clip can't see any passes. The documentation says this should be possible: Note In iOS 17 and later, App Clips can use the Wallet capability. For more information on functionality that’s available to App Clips, see Choosing the right functionality for your App Clip. It is not visible in the portal either. Is this an entitlement that I need to specifically request, and if so, how would I go about doing so? Thanks! Wes

In testing in-app push provisioning with a production TestFlight build built with Xcode Cloud (Xcode 26.4.1) the flow is failing when attempting to add cards. I start the flow by choosing the add to wallet button from within the app. I get to the stage “Add Card” and choosing continue fails with “Could Not Add Card” and a button “Set Up Later” Analysing the sysdiagnose logs reveals that the eligibility stage is failing with a HTTP 500 error.

Hello i am developing an apple wallet coupon/store card integration and as each pass will hold sensitive data (tokens referencing access to the monetary amount) i am concerned of the security implications of having a passkit-pass in ios stored as well as in icloud. Documentation is scarce if the pass is also stored on apple servers. It seems to be stored at least temporarily for synching with other devices of the same icloud user. Can you give details to the kind of data, encryption, duration of persistence of the pass data on centralized apple servers? Best Regards

Hello, we are developing in app provisioning of our American Express network cards. After clicking add to apple wallet in our app, I launch the PKAddPaymentPassViewController and click next. It loads for a few seconds and then I get: [<private>] ProvisioningOperationComposer: Step '<private>' failed with error Error Domain=PKProvisioningErrorDomain Code=5 UserInfo={PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500} Does anyone have any insight on what this error means?

Good Morning all! I was wondering what the customization is in regard to Digital Wallet Verification. Currently we have Verify with Phone Call as the default option selected, then Verify within App as the second option. Is there a way or any documentation that can be looked at to see how we can have Verify within App be the defaulted option?

Hello, We are testing Wallet passes with iBeacons in iOS 26 Beta. In earlier iOS releases, when a device was in proximity to a registered beacon, the corresponding pass would surface automatically. In iOS 26 Beta, this behavior no longer occurs, even if the pass is already present in Wallet. I have not found documentation of this change in the iOS 26 release notes. Could you please confirm whether this is expected in iOS 26, or if it may be a Beta-specific issue? Any pointers to updated documentation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Good afternoon, I‘m currently disputing over (8) applications on the App Store for legal (intellectual property right infringement) and for fraud. The mobile applications I created were hijacked from me and even submitted an FBI report. I’m wondering how long for Apple to recover these mobile applications? And how does the original financials work for the mobile apps I created since they were uploaded using API keys? I submitted legal intellectual property rights infringement, reported the apps to Fraud. All mobile applications should be listed under my Apple Developer Account. Furthermore, where do I go if I need assistance with these apps? I submitted the complaints about two weeks ago. Also when will Apple side legal be able to resolve these issues. The banking information for all mobile applications should also be freezed. Can someone from Apple help me get this resolved? All mobile applications banking and financials should be frozen due to the fraud I reported.

I am trying to create an automation that will anable to add transactions to my app and it’s using a shared shortcut and a quick automation on the user end. it works great on the iPhone but i couldn’t find any way to make it work on my Apple Watch… any help with that?

Dears, Please review: FB21940123 (Wallet Extension unable to add card) Thanks,

Hi, I am developing an app that uses the Host Card Emulation (HCE) technology available on iOS. Our team is using the official HCE app entitlement, and we are testing the SDK’s behavior when the app is selected as the default contactless payment application. On devices located in supported regions, the system automatically displays a setting where the user can choose the default app. For colleagues who are located in those regions, the toggle appears normally. For development and QA purposes, I would like to understand whether there is an officially supported method to test the default-app selection behavior on devices that are not in a region where the feature is available. Any guidance on the correct testing approach would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is my first attempt at creating a Wallet pass, actually a generic store card. When I see it with Pass Viewer on macOS, I get 1 look, when I see it with the iPhone simulator or iPhone proper, I get a different view. Neither is what I was hoping for, a simple vertical layout of an address. Could someone steer me in the correct direction? My json: "formatVersion": 1, "passTypeIdentifier": "pass.org.danleys.4KSBarcode", "serialNumber": "__SERIAL__", "teamIdentifier": "----", "organizationName": "4 K.I.D.S. Sake", "description": "4KSBarcode", "logoText": "4 K.I.D.S. Sake", "foregroundColor": "rgb(255, 255, 255)", "backgroundColor": "rgb(255,0,0)", "storeCard" : { "primaryFields" : [ { "key" : "ClientID", "label" : "", "value" : "" } ], "auxiliaryFields": [ { "key": "street", "label": "Address", "value": "339 Remington Blvd" }, { "key": "city", "label": "", "value": "Bolingbrook, IL 60440" } ] }, "barcode": { "format": "PKBarcodeFormatCode128", "message": "__SERIAL__", "altText": "__SERIAL__", "messageEncoding": "iso-8859-1" } } On macOS: On iOS: Thank you.

Hello, We are implementing in-app provisioning in our fintech app; the card issuer is a third party, so we have limited control and visibility. We have ruled out the causes we could investigate on our side and on the card issuer’s side. We are reaching out to ask for your help in understanding what is going wrong so we can fix it. What happens: User taps “Add to Apple Wallet” → we present PKAddPaymentPassViewController → they tap Next → after a few seconds the flow fails with "Set Up Later" alert. Device log: ProvisioningOperationComposer: Step 'eligibility' failed with error <PKProvisioningError: severity: 'terminal'; internalDebugDescriptions: '( "eligibility request failure", "Received HTTP 500" )'; underlyingError: 'Error Domain=PKPaymentWebServiceErrorDomain Code=0 "Unexpected error." UserInfo={PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500, NSLocalizedDescription=Unexpected error.}'; userInfo: '{ PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey = 500; }'; Feedback Assistant ID: FB22007923 (Error during the In-App Provisioning process)

During Apple Pay in-app provisioning (EV_ECC_v2), our iOS app successfully obtains the issuer provisioning certificates and generates cryptographic material. The flow fails when Apple posts the card blob to Apple’s broker (card creation step), returning HTTP 500 from .../broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards. Steps: Call issuerProvisioningCertificates?encryptionVersion=EV_ECC_v2 → 200 OK; returns ECC leaf + Apple Root CA chain; nonce=2a831be4. 2. Build {encryptedCardData, activationData, ephemeralPublicKey} 3. POST /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards Expected: 200 OK on /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards, or 5xx with a descriptive error if payload/cryptography is invalid. Observed: 500 Internal Server Error from Apple broker on /cards (labeled “eligibility” in PassKit logs), causing a terminal failure in Wallet UI.

Hello, guys. I am going through a situation in which an open validation appears in the system/developer mode and I would like to understand better if this is something normal in this process. Could someone confirm if this type of validation is expected at this stage? I would also like to know what criteria I can observe to be sure that it is legitimate and that I can trust the activation. Thank you in advance for your attention and help. Thank you

In Xcode, under Signing & Capabilities (Release) for our bundle ID the selected provisioning profile does include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning However, when we upload a new build to TestFlight, the Build Metadata → Entitlements section for the same bundle ID does not include com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning. Because of this, PKAddPaymentPassViewController does not open in TestFlight builds. This suggests that while the entitlement is enabled for the App ID and visible in Xcode, it may not yet be propagated to App Store Connect’s signing service for TestFlight/App Store builds. Please Note: The Wallet Entitlements team had confirmed that they had granted entitlements for our team and the apple IDs Xcode : 26.0.1 Profile being used: Distribution Profile
