Tap To Pay Account Not Linked Issue

I am currently having issues getting tap to pay to work locally for development. I have:

  • the tap to pay development entitlement
  • a verified test device
  • a test sandbox user
  • tap to pay / NFC / app apptest capabilities
  • the correct provisioning profile

We are currently working a payment service provider NMI to support tap to pay. Part of that process has been getting entitlements, and we now have the developer entitlement for tap to pay. We are having an issue with an "account not linked" error. We have been told by NMI this is an issue on Apple's side since we have the correct provisioning profile, capabilities, and entitlements set up for our company. This issue is when using a sandbox account. When I use a developer account I get an "invalid apple account" issue. Any combination of user / provisioning profile / and capabilities that I have tried have not produced better results.

Versions: IOS version is 26.6 and xcode is also 26.6.

I have followed these steps: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775784
