Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues
Hi, You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of In-App Provisioning Extensions for Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a new report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below with the appropriate log profiles installed. Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues While troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification, it is essential that the issuer is able to collect logs on their device and check those logs for error message. This is also essential when reporting issues to Apple. To gather the required data for your own debugging as well as reporting issues, please perform the following steps on the test device: Install the Apple Pay and Wallet profiles on your iOS or watchOS device. If the issue occurs on Mac, continue to Step 2. Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video. Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device, or on macOS. Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information: The bundle IDs App bundle ID Non-UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable) UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable) The serial number of the device. For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy). For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Serial Number. The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string. For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy). For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > System Report > NVMExpress > Serial Number. The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue. The timestamp (including timezone) of when the issue was reproduced. The type of provisioning failure (e.g., error at Terms & Conditions, error when adding a card, etc.) The issuer/network/country of the provisioned card (e.g., Mastercard – US) Last 4 digits of the FPAN Last 4 digits of the DPAN (if available) Was this test initiated from the Issuer App? (e.g., yes or no) The type of environment (e.g., sandbox or production) Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional). Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or bundle ID of your app or app extensions in the Console app. Submitting your feedback Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Apple Pay client. After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your client, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.

Integrating Apple Pay into an HTML inline frame (iframe) on your website
iOS 16 and earlier On iOS 16 and earlier, Apple Pay on the Web required Safari—and all interactions with the Apple Pay API to come from the parent/top level page. In order to facilitate the Apple Pay button in an HTML inline frame (iframe), there will need to be cross frame communication between the child and parent pages. Cross frame communication should be secure and robust, therefore the use of postMessage for this purpose is recommended. The expectation is for all communication with Apple Pay to occur from the parent page, so the iframe must relay all Apple Pay related events to the parent to handle. Some examples: Apple Pay availability: The parent calls applePayCapabilities, then sends the message of the response to the iframe, which then uses the value to toggle the visibility of the Apple Pay button. Apple Pay session: The iframe receives an onclick() event when the Apple Pay button is clicked and sends the message to the parent (providing details about the transaction). The parent create the payment request to obtain the session validation URL, and eventually receive session credentials and invokes completeMerchantValidation() to prevent the payment sheet. After the payment is authorized by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), the parent either: Redirects the parent page to a payment success page; or Sends a message to the iframe to complete the transaction flow itself. iOS 17 and later On IOS 17 and later, the iframe HTML element should include the allow="payment" attribute, which should facilitate the cross frame communications instead of needing a dedicated JavaScript library. This means all of the Apple Pay code/calls can reside in the iframe page—which is typically a hosted page from a Payment Service Provider (PSP), all the parent page—typically a merchant—has to do is add the attribute mentioned above to the iframe element. Important: Regardless of the iOS version, the PSP/merchant always needs to make sure the parent page domain is the one registered in the Developer portal, and used in the request to generate a merchant session via ApplePaySession.

How can I stop needing to verify my Merchant Domain manually every month?
Our client's site uses Apple Pay, and once a month we get a series of email notifying us that the domain verification is about to expire: Your website domain that uses Apple Pay has an SSL Certificate that expires on Oct 11, 2020. We were unable to automatically to reverify your domain. To ensure uninterrupted use of Apple Pay on your website, revalidate your domain by Oct 11, 2020 in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. The site uses Let's Encrypt to automatically renew its SSL cert monthly. Every time that happens, we need to log into the Apple Developer tools, navigate to Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles -> Identifiers -> Merchant IDs -> ID -> Merchant Domains, then download the file and drop it onto the server with SFTP. It's a pain. Is there a way to automate this process (or better yet, stop it from happening)? I can't imagine monthly-renewing SSL certificates is a particularly uncommon thing.

Apple Pay, domain verification automatic renewal not working
Hi everyone, We are integrating Apple Pay on the Web, and we're trying to get the automatic renewal of the domain verification working according to the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/maintaining_your_environment Initially the domain verification is successful, but then the automatic renewal does not work. We keep getting the emails with the subject "Your domain will expire soon.", but they only say "We were unable to automatically to reverify your domain." without any further details. We confirmed that the site's SSL certificate has already been renewed by the time Apple attempted the renewal of verification, the certs are renewed 30 days before their expiry (using Let's Encrypt). So according to the docs, at least the renewal attempts 15, and then 7 days before the expiry should be successful. One example domain is this one: https://www.kayak.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt, but we have the same issue for all our other domains as well. Does anyone have suggestions how to troubleshoot this further? (I tried creating a support ticket, but they basically replied that they're non-technical, and just linked me to the documentation. I've seen others complaining about this too, but couldn't find a conclusive solution, so I thought I'd signal boost and create a fresh topic to see if there are any more recent findings about this problem.)

Error during In-App Provisioning (eligibility step, PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500)
We are implementing in-app provisioning in our fintech app; We are reaching out to ask for your help in understanding what is going wrong so we can fix it.

Deep link to specific payment pass in Apple Wallet from third party app
I am building CardNeuro, an iOS app that uses GPS to detect the nearest merchant and recommends the highest-earning credit card in the user's wallet at point of sale. Current flow: GPS detects merchant App recommends best card (e.g. Amex Gold for dining, Amazon Visa for groceries) User taps — Apple Wallet opens User has to scroll to find the right card The problem: Apple Wallet opens to the last used card, not the card we recommended. The user still has to find it manually. What I want to do: Open Apple Wallet directly to a specific payment pass so the recommended card is shown immediately and the user can double-click to pay with no extra steps. What I found in the docs: PKPassLibrary exposes a passURL property on payment passes: let passLib = PKPassLibrary() let walletURL = passLib .passes(of: .payment) .first(where: { $0.localizedName == "Amex Gold" })? .passURL if let url = walletURL { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } My questions: Does PKPassLibrary.passes(of: .payment) return cards added natively to Apple Wallet by the user — or only passes provisioned by my own app? Is opening passURL via UIApplication.shared.open() permitted for third party apps that did not provision the pass? Is a special entitlement required to read payment passes from PKPassLibrary that belong to other apps or were added natively? If deep linking to a specific payment pass is not available to third party apps — is there any recommended API or UX pattern for surfacing a specific card to the user before they tap to pay? Any guidance from the team appreciated.

Premium Feature in App
Hi Everyone, I’ve made an educational app that has limited feature usage to free users but paying monthly subscribers get full access however Apple has rejected the app due to this reason and when I responded asking how to change it they said they can’t help me so does anyone know how to create a subscription that gives access to the full app without getting rejected as there are already many apps out there with this system

ApplePay create-session API timing out
We are an Apple Pay consumer and observed elevated response times and intermittent timeouts affecting the create‑session API (apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession) between approximately 8:01 PM and 8:35 PM PST today. We are reaching out to understand whether there were any service disruptions during this timeframe, as we do not see corresponding updates on the system status pages. We would like to confirm whether this behavior was related to a broader Apple Pay issue or specific to our integration.

Payment Services Exception Unauthorized
We’re attempting to call the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API using our Platform Integrator flow and consistently receive 401 Unauthorized, despite successful TLS/mTLS. Details: Endpoint: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant (POST) Payload: { "domainNames": ["breakerfy.com"], "encryptTo": "platformintegrator.ai.packman", "partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier": "merchant.ai.packman.1", "partnerMerchantName": "breakerfy", "merchantUrl": "https://breakerfy.com" } Domain association: URL: https://breakerfy.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association What we tried: We created a Payment Platform Integrator ID (platformintegrator.ai.packman) We created a CertificateSigningRequest We used the certificate signing request to create an Apple Pay Platform Integrator Identity Certificate and downloaded the signed certificate. We exported the Private Key from keychain access in PKCS 12 format We converted both the private key and the signed certificate to PEM format We created a merchant id We used the converted keys to send requests to the API We received { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception Unauthorized", "statusCode": "401" } we also tried curl with the original p12 file and also had no luck. What could be the issue ?

Apple Pay In-App Provisioning Failure on Apple Servers
Hi guys, we are trying to implement In-App Provisioning for our banking application. After some iterations of determining responsibilities for providing data, we managed to gather all info required, but the process is failing. When user tries to provision a card, the Provisioning UI flow stops after selecting a device to provision the card on. It presents an alert: "Could Not Add Card", and offers just "Set Up Later". Further investigation (Console.app) shows that PassbookUIService has an error saying: [qv4t2XcQQ1G+AWP9HINjFQ] 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; }'; > Also, when filtering Console output by my SEID, I can see that the request is failing with HTTP 500 code: default 15:09:22.599860+0200 PassbookUIService Response: https://pr-pod10-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/???/cards 500 Time profile: 0.274013 seconds { Server = "Apple" Content-Type = "text/html" X-Content-Type-Options = "nosniff" Strict-Transport-Security = "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains" Date = "Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:09:22 GMT" X-Frame-Options = "SAMEORIGIN" X-XSS-Protection = "1; mode=block" Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy = "same-origin" Content-Length = "170" Connection = "close" } <html> <head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title></head> <body> <center><h1>500 Internal Server Error</h1></center> <hr><center>Apple</center> </body> </html> I've submitted a Feedback assistant with the guidelines found here.

Apple Pay Connectivity Test
I am trying to start implementing the Push Provisioning (Apple Pay) process for my website. I configured a test-environment and already had a 'success' connectivity test before, even though I did not implement any TLS validation api. but for about two weeks, there is that "Environment connectivity test is unavailable due to production maintenance." message. I don't know if earlier i managed to pass the tests for real, or if that is exactly a bug Apple is working on. This message comes and goes at least 2-3 times, and you can't tell if the connectivity test works as expected or is bugged.

ApplePay JS v1.3.8 ApplePayCapabilities.PaymentCredentialStatus change?
We had noticed “paymentCredentialsAvailable” is getting returned more from apple pay capabilities for some unexpected devices (our example is windows + chrome). Based off the documentation this should only be returning if this is linked to a wallet account w/ valid payment. From some investigation this appears to have changed from apple pay js v1.3.7 to v1.3.8 (latest). Previously the above windows + chrome example would return “paymentCredentialStatusUnknown” which is what would be expected in this case. Tried running chrome in icognito mode and clearing cookies just in case this check had some linkage to the apple account via QR code usage, but did not appear to affect the returned response. Unsure if this is a bug or a change to the logic, but doesn’t appear to be appropriately reflected in the documentation, also a change like this should not be appearing in a patch version. Has anyone else experienced this?

Error during In-App Provisioning (eligibility step, PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500)
We are implementing in-app provisioning in our fintech app; 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: "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: FB22176928 (In-App Provisioning issue 500 Internal Server Error)

Deep link to specific payment pass in Apple Wallet from third party app
I am building CardNeuro, an iOS app that uses GPS to detect the nearest merchant and recommends the highest-earning credit card in the user's wallet at point of sale. Current flow: GPS detects merchant App recommends best card (e.g. Amex Gold for dining, Amazon Visa for groceries) User taps — Apple Wallet opens User has to scroll to find the right card The problem: Apple Wallet opens to the last used card, not the card we recommended. The user still has to find it manually. What I want to do: Open Apple Wallet directly to a specific payment pass so the recommended card is shown immediately and the user can double-click to pay with no extra steps. What I found in the docs: PKPassLibrary exposes a passURL property on payment passes: let passLib = PKPassLibrary() let walletURL = passLib .passes(of: .payment) .first(where: { $0.localizedName == "Amex Gold" })? .passURL if let url = walletURL { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } My questions: Does PKPassLibrary.passes(of: .payment) return cards added natively to Apple Wallet by the user — or only passes provisioned by my own app? Is opening passURL via UIApplication.shared.open() permitted for third party apps that did not provision the pass? Is a special entitlement required to read payment passes from PKPassLibrary that belong to other apps or were added natively? If deep linking to a specific payment pass is not available to third party apps — is there any recommended API or UX pattern for surfacing a specific card to the user before they tap to pay? Any guidance from the team appreciated.

Premium Feature in App
Hi Everyone, I’ve made an educational app that has limited feature usage to free users but paying monthly subscribers get full access however Apple has rejected the app due to this reason and when I responded asking how to change it they said they can’t help me so does anyone know how to create a subscription that gives access to the full app without getting rejected as there are already many apps out there with this system

ApplePay on website -validateMerchant-payment sheet stuck
I tried to integrate ApplePay on website. Followed the official documentation. Successfully creating the apple session. However according to my logs, execution doesn't even going to verify the merchant. When I click the ApplePay button the payment sheet displays and it brings the card details, but the bottom button stays "Processing". May I know what could be the reason? Our PSP is credimax. Any input to resolve this is highly appreciate. we stuck on this for last 3 months.

ApplePay create-session API timing out
We are an Apple Pay consumer and observed elevated response times and intermittent timeouts affecting the create‑session API (apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession) between approximately 8:01 PM and 8:35 PM PST today. We are reaching out to understand whether there were any service disruptions during this timeframe, as we do not see corresponding updates on the system status pages. We would like to confirm whether this behavior was related to a broader Apple Pay issue or specific to our integration.

Payment Services Exception Unauthorized
We’re attempting to call the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API using our Platform Integrator flow and consistently receive 401 Unauthorized, despite successful TLS/mTLS. Details: Endpoint: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant (POST) Payload: { "domainNames": ["breakerfy.com"], "encryptTo": "platformintegrator.ai.packman", "partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier": "merchant.ai.packman.1", "partnerMerchantName": "breakerfy", "merchantUrl": "https://breakerfy.com" } Domain association: URL: https://breakerfy.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association What we tried: We created a Payment Platform Integrator ID (platformintegrator.ai.packman) We created a CertificateSigningRequest We used the certificate signing request to create an Apple Pay Platform Integrator Identity Certificate and downloaded the signed certificate. We exported the Private Key from keychain access in PKCS 12 format We converted both the private key and the signed certificate to PEM format We created a merchant id We used the converted keys to send requests to the API We received { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception Unauthorized", "statusCode": "401" } we also tried curl with the original p12 file and also had no luck. What could be the issue ?

Apple Pay In-App Provisioning Failure on Apple Servers
Hi guys, we are trying to implement In-App Provisioning for our banking application. After some iterations of determining responsibilities for providing data, we managed to gather all info required, but the process is failing. When user tries to provision a card, the Provisioning UI flow stops after selecting a device to provision the card on. It presents an alert: "Could Not Add Card", and offers just "Set Up Later". Further investigation (Console.app) shows that PassbookUIService has an error saying: [qv4t2XcQQ1G+AWP9HINjFQ] 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; }'; > Also, when filtering Console output by my SEID, I can see that the request is failing with HTTP 500 code: default 15:09:22.599860+0200 PassbookUIService Response: https://pr-pod10-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/???/cards 500 Time profile: 0.274013 seconds { Server = "Apple" Content-Type = "text/html" X-Content-Type-Options = "nosniff" Strict-Transport-Security = "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains" Date = "Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:09:22 GMT" X-Frame-Options = "SAMEORIGIN" X-XSS-Protection = "1; mode=block" Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy = "same-origin" Content-Length = "170" Connection = "close" } <html> <head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title></head> <body> <center><h1>500 Internal Server Error</h1></center> <hr><center>Apple</center> </body> </html> I've submitted a Feedback assistant with the guidelines found here. Feedback ID: FB22924636 (In-App Provisioning failing) Would appreciate if anyone has some pointers as to what to focus on to resolve this issue. Thank you!

Apple Pay Connectivity Test
I am trying to start implementing the Push Provisioning (Apple Pay) process for my website. I configured a test-environment and already had a 'success' connectivity test before, even though I did not implement any TLS validation api. but for about two weeks, there is that "Environment connectivity test is unavailable due to production maintenance." message. I don't know if earlier i managed to pass the tests for real, or if that is exactly a bug Apple is working on. This message comes and goes at least 2-3 times, and you can't tell if the connectivity test works as expected or is bugged.

In-App Provisioning Completely Ghosted Waiting on Review
Waiting on in-app provisioning approval. First time submitting the app. The process changed after we submitted initially but its been three months now. Every time I reach out I either get a generic response or nothing at all. What is going on? This has been a horrible experience.

ApplePay JS v1.3.8 ApplePayCapabilities.PaymentCredentialStatus change?
We had noticed “paymentCredentialsAvailable” is getting returned more from apple pay capabilities for some unexpected devices (our example is windows + chrome). Based off the documentation this should only be returning if this is linked to a wallet account w/ valid payment. From some investigation this appears to have changed from apple pay js v1.3.7 to v1.3.8 (latest). Previously the above windows + chrome example would return “paymentCredentialStatusUnknown” which is what would be expected in this case. Tried running chrome in icognito mode and clearing cookies just in case this check had some linkage to the apple account via QR code usage, but did not appear to affect the returned response. Unsure if this is a bug or a change to the logic, but doesn’t appear to be appropriately reflected in the documentation, also a change like this should not be appearing in a patch version. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, We are implementing in-app provisioning in our banking app but are having trouble getting to the Terms & Conditions screen. User taps on “Add to Apple Wallet” > PKAddPaymentPassViewController > Next > the flow fails quickly with "Could Not Add Card -> Set Up Later" alert.
