I'm able to download and add passes to my ipod successfully, but the device never hits the web service afterwards. Here is an excerpt of the pass.json:

{ 
   "formatVersion":1,
   "passTypeIdentifier":"...",
   "teamIdentifier":"...",
   "authenticationToken":"...",
   "webServiceUrl":"https://.../wallet",
   ...
}

I can confirm the device never hits my server. It doesn't even go through the log web service endpoint. How would I troubleshoot this?

Things of note:

Does the webServiceUrl need to have the slashes escaped? I've tried both ways with no success.
Will the communication work with a self-signed SSL certificate? Currently, all of this resides on our staging server with a self-signed certificate.
Is there a log on the actual device that would give me more information?

Did you have any luck with this, I have exactly the same issue using an iPhone 4S. I've even bought a real SSL certificate, but still no luck

Thanks,

I got to the bottom of my problem, I was expecting the pass to hit my Web Service url with Querystring parameters and json. But a lot of the data is acually passed in REST style in the url path it's self
