Apple Wallet Pass is not receiving push notifications

Hi, this is my setup — hope it works for you:

In a service file, I have the following import and constructor:

import apn from 'apn';

private apnProvider: any;

constructor() { const keyPath = path.resolve(__dirname, ${process.env.APNS_KEY_PATH}); const key = fs.readFileSync(keyPath); const keyId: string = process.env.KEY_IDENTIFIER || ""; const teamId: string = process.env.TEAM_IDENTIFIER || "";

if (!keyId || !teamId) {
  throw new Error("Missing APNS key identifier or team identifier.");
}

this.apnProvider = new apn.Provider({
  token: {
    key,
    keyId,
    teamId,
  },
  production: true,
});

}

Then I call a method that triggers the APNS as follows

private async sendPushNotification(devicePushToken: string, passTypeIdentifier: string): Promise<void> { const notification = new apn.Notification(); notification.topic = passTypeIdentifier; notification.contentAvailable = true;

try {
  const result = await this.apnProvider.send(notification, devicePushToken);
  console.log("APNs response:", result);

  if (result.failed.length > 0) {
    console.error('Failed to send push notification:', result.failed);
    await insertWebLog('error', result.failed, `sendPushNotification on push-notification.service.ts`);
  } else {
    console.log('Push notification sent successfully');
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error sending push notification:', error);
  throw new Error(`Error sending push notification: ${error}`);
}

}

Hi @nobodybert,

I have set up an APNS API that sends push notifications to update my Apple Wallet pass. I am using the APN library and a .p8 key for APNS push notifications. I keep getting 200 responses and "sent successfully" logs, but Apple Wallet is not receiving the notification.[...] Which configuration or payload should I check to make it work?

To send a pass update push notification, perform the following steps:

1. Find the registered devices for the updated pass.
2. Create and send a push notification for each registered device.
3. Verify your notification matches the following criteria:
   • uses the same certificate and private key that the creator of the original pass used for signing
   • the push token registered by the device
   • contains an empty JSON dictionary for the notification payload.

Note: A push notification for a pass update works only in the production environment. The sandbox environment will not deliver notifications of this type.

For invalid push token errors, delete the associated device from APNs.
