For our project we publish and endpoint to update a PKPass from wallet. It works fine. We are facing a problem with expired passes, due to the Automatic Updates configuration in each device our server received a lot request included those from expired passes. I cannot find any configuration inside the pass to avoid this request to my server.

Hi, Upon reviewing our app, we got feedback that our app icon within the Wallet app is not behaving as expected when the home screen is set to "light mode" only. In that case, on the home screen, the app icon remains its default color (e.g., red), regardless of the device's appearance settings (light or dark), which is expected. However, in the apple Wallet, e.g., under the From Apps from your device, app icons change their color (e.g., red in light mode, black in dark mode) when iOS appearance is changed - which is reported as an app issue. I've noticed that all apps in that section are changing the color, not just ours, so it seems to me like a bug in iOS or a behavior that was not clearly defined in the app store guidelines. If there is an API we must use to cover that case, which one would that be? Is this a bug that Apple should resolve, or is this the intended behaviour?

Hi, We’re a franchise business with over 100 franchisees, and each franchisee has their own unique Merchant ID. We're building a single app that allows customers to place orders, and based on the selected franchisee, the payment needs to be processed through that specific franchisee’s merchant account. However, when we integrate Apple Pay and publish the app, it asks us to provide a payment gateways' Merchant ID, but we don’t use just one – we have many. How can we handle this situation? Is there a way to dynamically use multiple Merchant IDs in one app, depending on which franchisee the customer is ordering from?

We have developed Apple Wallet Extension for our App. The in-app provisioning for the card is working. However when we try to add the card from Wallet extension it gives error saying "Your issuer does not yet offer support for this card". From the apple documentation we can see the issues is same as mentioned in Scenario 2 at following link https://applepaydemo.apple.com/in-app-provisioning#8.4 We are getting eligibilityStatus as 0 Below is the response from Wallet captured using SysDiagnosis https://crt-pod1-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/0434320BCB1A90022306073796318273728D0A367FA927F4/cards 200 Time profile: 1.77856 seconds { x-conversation-id = ......

Hello, I made myself an app to track my expenses. The most important event is when I make a purchase via apple wallet. What happens is sometimes the values from Merchant and Amount are; Merchant = " " Amount = 0.0 Has anyone experienced this, is there something I can do about it ? I was thinking that sometimes maybe speed connection and service is something that might make an impact Does anyone here know something about the topic ?

Good day) I am developing an application for generating PKPASS in Java. PKPASS itself is generated and installed on the device and updated. But I encountered a problem. When sending information about the update to the APNs service, PKPASS is updated, but the push notification is not shown on the device. On the device, all tooltypes are set to receive the update. As well as the basic settings: We go to the APNs service using = JWT token. "apns-push-type"= "alert" "apns-topic" = PassTypeIdentifier payload = {} I would also like to add that we send push notifications to the production environment. P. S. Six months ago, push notifications came

Good day) Colleagues, please tell me how can I change the notification on the locked screen "pass changed" in PKPASS when changing several fields? Thank you very much for your answer

Hello everyone, I am building a React Native (Expo) application where the customer requested a simple “Add to Wallet” button. However, instead of handling Wallet provisioning or passes, the requirement is just to open the Apple Wallet app when the user taps this button. My questions are: Is it allowed by App Store Review Guidelines to have a button that simply launches the Wallet app, without actually adding a pass (.pkpass) or card? After navigation to the Apple app user just can manually add the card to the Apple Wallet. If so, should I avoid using the official “Add to Apple Wallet” badge, since nothing is being added? Would a custom label like “Open Wallet” be more appropriate to comply with Apple’s branding rules? Could my app risk App Store rejection if I implement this simplified behavior? I want to make sure I follow the guidelines and avoid misleading users or violating branding rules. Any clarification or experiences from others who have submitted apps with similar functionality would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all, I’m building a password manager app for iOS. The app implements an ASCredentialProviderExtension and has the entitlement com.apple.developer.authentication-services.autofill-credential-provider. From a UX perspective, I’d like to help users enable my app under: Settings → General → AutoFill & Passwords What I’ve observed: Calling UIApplication.openSettingsURLString only opens my app’s own Settings page, not the AutoFill list. Some apps (e.g. Google Authenticator) appear to redirect users directly into the AutoFill Passwords & Passkeys screen when you tap “Enable AutoFill.” 1Password goes even further: when you tap “Enable” in 1Password App, it shows a system pop-up, prompts for Face ID, and then enables 1Password as the AutoFill provider without the user ever leaving the app. Questions: Is there a public API or entitlement that allows apps to deep-link users directly to the AutoFill Passwords & Passkeys screen? Is there a supported API to programmatically request that my app be enabled as an AutoFill provider (similar to what 1Password seems to achieve)? If not, what is the recommended approach for guiding users through this flow? Thanks in advance!

Hello, we have problem. Kind regards, -Martin

Hallo habt ihr das Probleme auch ? meine Apple Watch zeit glaub seit der 3 oder 4 beta keine VVR ticket mehr an in der wallet app Kreditkarten oder Ikea karte alles da nur keine vor karten mehr was vorher ging! habt ihr einen tipp ?? lg Cris

Hi guys, I'm facing an issue with the native interface to add a card into the wallet - does someone have some ideas on how to fix/work around that? STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Disable VoiceOver (Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver → Off). Connect and confirm that you can navigate other iOS interfaces using an external keyboard. In any app, present a PKAddPassesViewController with a valid .pkpass file. When the Wallet “Add Pass” sheet appears, attempt to navigate using only the external keyboard (Tab/Arrow/Enter). Observe that focus does not move to the Cancel or Add buttons, and no elements receive keyboard focus. EXPECTED RESULT: All interactive elements in PKAddPassesViewController (e.g., Cancel and Add) should be fully keyboard accessible without requiring VoiceOver. Users should be able to navigate, select, and complete actions using only a hardware keyboard. ACTUAL RESULT: Keyboard navigation is not possible. No elements receive focus. Users cannot activate Cancel or Add buttons using keyboard input. The only way to interact is by touch or enabling VoiceOver, which does not satisfy keyboard accessibility requirements. IMPACT: Violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard Accessible). Prevents keyboard-only users (including users with motor disabilities) from adding passes to Wallet. Affects users of external keyboards who rely on tab/arrow navigation. Creates an inconsistent accessibility experience compared to other iOS system modals.

Hi, How to post to App & System Services -> Wallet ? I'm getting "This post contains sensitive language. Please revise it in order to continue" blockage every time I try to submit. Thanks.

We have Wallet and Watch application on iPhone. Both of them can add card and then waiting for activation. However, When the same card is added to Wallet and Watch respectively, waiting for the app-to-app mode to be activated. Client doesn't aware the source application. Because deeplink is exactly the same. Any adivse how does the client have to choose which card to activate?

Hello, We are currently developing an application that uses the Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) entitlement to enable corporate access functionality. With this entitlement, we have successfully established HCE communication and can interact with our access control systems to unlock doors. Our question is related to improving the user experience: We would like this access functionality to work without requiring the app to be in the foreground, as this adds friction for users during entry. Specifically, we would like to know: Is it possible for our app to coexist with Apple Wallet as the default contactless app, so that: Our app handles NFC interactions for corporate access (e.g., opening doors). Apple Wallet remains the default for payments. If that coexistence is not possible, and our app is set as the default contactless app, Will the system still need to launch our app into the foreground to complete a transaction (e.g., to emulate the NFC card)? Or is there a way to trigger HCE responses in the background (e.g., using a background process or service extension)? Any guidance on how to configure the app for optimal background access behavior, while maintaining compatibility with Wallet, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I set up a Sandbox Tester account in my company’s Apple Developer Program and signed in on my iPhone under Settings → App Store → Sandbox Account. When I go to Wallet → Add, I only see options for Credit or Debit Card or Travel Card. The option to add an Apple Pay Sandbox Card is missing, and when I try entering the test card numbers from Apple’s documentation (developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing), the card is not valid. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Thanks! PS: I can't post this to Wallet Category, I keep getting error that it contains sensitive text.

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.

We are working with a large fintech org on project connected with provisioning payment cards to Apple Wallet. When we add a previously provisioned card to the Wallet (using the Wallet UI, Add card -> Previous card). It adds the card on one device showing the Express Travel card screen after the card is added allowing the user to set the card as an express travel card during the provisioning flow but never on our other devices. All of the test devices are clean and have only the same single card provisioned. What triggers the Express Travel Card screen to be shown during the add previous card flow? (Why is it showing on one device and not another).
