Hi, we are implementing the push provisioning via the Apple Wallet Extension starting from the example at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/implementing-wallet-extensions.
To correctly manage the push provisioning on Apple Watch, specifically for a card tokenised in the iPhone but not in the Watch, we need to know if there is a connected Apple Watch to the iPhone.
We are using the following code from the Apple Wallet Extension example to detect whether there is a connected watch:
WCSession* session = [WCSession defaultSession];
session.delegate = delegate;
[session activateSession];
In the main target of the app, at the end of the activation the system correctly calls the delegate method:
session:activationDidCompleteWithState:error:
but we noticed it is not being called in the UI extension context (the one having NSExtensionPointIdentifier: com.apple.PassKit.issuer-provisioning.authorization).
We don't understand why the delegate is not being called in the UI extension, can you please help?
Thanks!
Steps to Reproduce:
Start with a card not added in the Apple Wallet app
Open the Apple Wallet app
Click on add card
Select the app to launch the Wallet Extension flow
The Apple Wallet Extension with UI is on screen and invokes the activateSession method, the delegate method is not invoked and session.isPaired returns "no".

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with the Apple Pay capability on my App ID.
I have created a Merchant ID.
I enabled Apple Pay in the App ID configuration and linked it to the merchant.
However, sometimes when I revisit the App ID in the Apple Developer portal, the Apple Pay capability appears disabled, even though I saved it.
This happens intermittently; at some times the capability is correctly shown as enabled, and other times it disappears.
Context:
I am using Expo Managed Workflow with EAS Build for iOS.
The issue prevents the provisioning profile from including Apple Pay, which causes Stripe isPlatformPaySupported function to return false on ios devices.
Attached:
Screenshots of the App ID page showing Apple Pay enabled and disabled.
Could you please advise why the capability is not being consistently saved, and how to ensure it stays enabled?
Thank you,

Hello,
I am currently testing an Adyen integration with Sylius and need to verify Apple Pay with Cartes Bancaires in the sandbox environment. Could you please advise how Cartes Bancaires can be tested in Apple Pay Sandbox (e.g. cards details)?
Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hello all,
I’m helping a customer integrate Apple Pay, and I’m seeing a behavior I can’t fully explain. I hope someone here can help clarify whether this is expected or whether it’s a bug / misconfiguration on my side.
Currency: RSD (Serbian Dinar)
Amount: 3.45 RSD (two decimals)
Result: Apple Pay cancels the payment automatically when the amount includes decimals, without even displaying the paymentsheet.
Things I have checked:
ISO 4217 defines RSD with 2 minor units, so fractional amounts like 3.45 should be valid.
Processors treat RSD as a two-decimal currency.
Apple’s documentation does not provide a per-currency decimal rule table.
In testing, whole-number RSD amounts succeed, while fractional amounts (e.g. 3.45 RSD) fail. I did not encounter this problem with other currencies like EUR, USD.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Hello,
We are working on integrating billing into our dating app, targeted at the Russian market. Our main requirement is to support subscriptions with automatic renewal and cancellation.
We understand that, according to App Store Review Guideline, all digital subscriptions should use Apple In-App Purchase (IAP). However, we are unsure how this applies in Russia, where some local regulations may limit the use of non-Russian payment processors, and where not all Russian bank cards are accepted by Apple.
Our question is:
-For iOS apps in Russia, is it strictly required to use Apple IAP for subscriptions?
-Are there any approved exceptions allowing integration with local processors such as Robokassa or YooKassa?
-How are other developers currently handling subscriptions for the Russian market?
We want to ensure full compliance and avoid any risk of rejection or removal.
Thank you in advance for any clarification.
Best regards,
Dan
I’m restructuring my business and want to remove Apple Pay. I use Woocommerce Square for payments. Do I do it in the Square dashboard or here? I honestly can’t remember how I set it up. I’m not a developer. I’m a farmer and work on my own website. Thanks!
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).
'Company A' is scheduled to merge with its parent company, 'Company B'. Both A and B have Apple accounts.
A's account has one domain registered for Apple Pay integration, while Account B has no domain registered.
We attempted to register A’s domain under B’s account.
However, the notification 'Requested domain name has been verified previously.' appeared, and we could not complete the registration.
Please confirm whether it is correct that a domain already registered under Account A cannot be registered again under Account B.
If we cannot register same domain in two accounts, we believe that the domain registered under A's account must be deleted first and then registered under B's account.
In that case, will payments become unavailable immediately upon deletion of the domain, or will payments still be possible for a certain period of time after deletion?
In our testing, we found that payments were not blocked immediately, but we would like to confirm further.
We are concerned about the possibility of transaction failures during the short period between deleting the domain from A's Account and registering it under B's Account.

Hi Everyone,
My team is working on an online marketplace for FMBs in Saudi Arabia (with a plan to expand to other markets later). We are currently working on integrating multiple payment gateways with embedded Apple Pay support into our platform.
We’ve encountered an issue with the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file. Based on advice from one of our payment partners, we've ensured that the domain association file is uploaded in the correct format. This works successfully with our first payment gateway.
However, for the additional payment gateways we are integrating, we would also like to enable Apple Pay with embedded support. The challenge is that each payment gateway requires its own domain verification, but the verification file uses the same file name. This prevents us from supporting multiple gateways on the same domain.
Has anyone in the house been able to implement a similar solution, or know how we can best implement this?
Please, I'll appreciate advise on how we can configure Apple Pay domain verification to support multiple payment gateways on the same domain? Any specific guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

We’re building a usage-based rental flow. The final charge is only known after the session ends (like gas pumps). We want the same Apple Pay UX that gas stations like at a gas station has: the user does not see a pre-authorization amount up front; they only see “approved” and later the final posted amount on the statement.
What we observe (gas stations / desired UX)
When paying at gas station with Apple Pay (card-present), the user confirms their card (double-tap) but no pre-auth amount is shown in Wallet/notification UI.
The small notification is from the bank (not the merchant) and shows only bank + merchant name, no total.
After fueling ends, the final amount appears on the statement from the merchant.
What happens in our flow (current behavior)
Platform: Apple Pay via Stripe (Apple Pay on the Web with QR → mobile Safari Wallet sheet).
When a user confirms payment, the pre-authorization amount is shown immediately to the user (appears like a charge from the user’s perspective).
We want to avoid showing that amount, matching the pay-at-pump experience.
Hi,
We have app in which we take donations from people and send to non-profit organisations. I have read that Apple Pay can be integrated on non profit platforms to take donations, but we are middle man, we are not non profit .. we take donations, cut our platform fees and then sent to donations to non profit orgs.
My question is can we integrate Apple Pay in our iOS app to take donations from apple? as we have integrated Apple Pay on the web.

We have been informed by a third-party subscription tracking service(Adjust) that, due to the following specification of App Store Connect, it is not possible to connect an STG app (a non-published testing app) with their server:
Specification:
Since Apple’s API only allows access for apps that are already published, it is not possible to enable subscription tracking for iOS apps that are not yet published.
Could you please confirm if our understanding of this specification is correct?
Additionally, is there any method or recommended approach to verify subscription tracking behavior with an STG (non-published) app before the app is released?
Thank you very much for your support.

We have finished integrating Apple Pay in our app and our payment processor is requiring us to send the 3dSecure version used for apple pay (2.1,2.2,2.3,etc.). I believe this only applies to mastercard but would appreciate if anyone has run into something similar and what you specified. I have not been able to find anything in Apple's documentation specifying the version that is used.
Hi Apple Team and Developers,
I’ve been testing the Top-up flow in our app via the TestFlight environment.
Across multiple devices (around 10 tested), everything works fine with no issues.
However, on one specific device — iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 18.6.2 — I’ve noticed an intermittent issue:
When performing a Top-up, the Apple UI first shows a successful purchase confirmation.
Immediately afterward, another UI prompt appears asking the player to re-enter their Apple ID password.
At the same time, Apple returns a ghost string that we cannot use to verify the user’s package bundle ID.
This creates potential confusion for users, as they see both a success confirmation and an unexpected password prompt.
I’m unsure if this behavior is expected or if there’s a recommended way to handle or prevent this issue.
Has anyone else encountered something similar, or does Apple have a suggested fix/workaround for this?
For reference, here’s a short video of the issue in action:

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, hoping someone here has run into this before.
I have a fully functional App Clip (com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip) linked to my main app (com.didyoucatchit.app). The Clip builds and runs perfectly, but I’m seeing issues trying to enable Apple Pay for it.
When I try to link my Merchant ID under the “On Demand Install Capable” capability in the Apple Developer portal, I get this error:
A relationship in the provided entity is not allowed for this request.
The relationship 'undefined' can not be included in a 'bundleIdCapabilities' request.
Here’s what I have already configured and confirmed:
App Clip capabilities in Xcode include:
Apple Pay Payment Processing
Associated Domains (appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com)
Provisioning profile includes:
Apple Pay Payment Processing
Associated Domains
In-App Purchase
On-Demand Install Capable
Entitlements file for the Clip:
<key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
<array>
<string>appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.developer.in-app-payments</key>
<array>
<string>merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers</key>
<array>
<string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.didyoucatchit.app</string>
</array>
Merchant ID (merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app) is active and connected to Stripe
Stripe Apple Pay configuration matches the same merchant ID and certificate
Both provisioning profiles have been refreshed and downloaded
However:
The portal still throws the “relationship 'undefined'” error anytime I try to modify the Clip’s capabilities
In testing, Apple Pay doesn’t show up as a payment option in the Clip (using Stripe’s Payment Element integration)
Questions:
Is this a known issue with the Developer portal when linking App Clips to merchant IDs?
Is there a specific way to re-establish the parent–child relationship between the main app and the App Clip so the bundleIdCapabilities request includes the proper relationship JSON?
Are there any additional configuration steps required when using Stripe for Apple Pay inside an App Clip?
System Setup:
Xcode: 16.2 (build 16C5032a)
macOS: Sequoia 15.3.1
iOS: 18.5 (testing on physical device)
Merchant ID: merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app
Main App ID: com.didyoucatchit.app
App Clip ID: com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip
Any help or insight would be hugely appreciated
Thanks in advance!
We are having trouble trying to renew our Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate. We can create the CSR file and add to the developer portal. We then convert this to a .pem and then a .p12.
When we test the certificate in Postman however, we see the following error:
"statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception pspId=xxxx unauthorized to process transactions on behalf of merchantId=xxxx reason=xxxx is not a registered merchant in WWDR and isn't properly authorized via Mass Enablement, either.",
"statusCode": "417"
We are sending the following POST request to 'https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession':
{"merchantIdentifier": "merchant.com.xxxx.applepaytest",
"domainName": "beta-xxxx.com",
"displayName": "beta-xxxx.com"}
Anyone got any ideas what the issue may be?
In the meantime I will look at completing our domain verification as that is also due soon and we thought it may possibly have something to do with the certificate issues we are seeing.

Hi, we are implementing ID&V and there is a requirement regarding the flow for Apple Pay.
In order to clarify the case I will describe the use case scenario or steps to reproduce first:
add a card to the iPhone wallet app (yellow path verification required). Do not complete the ID&V process.
add a card to the Watch via the Wallet inside the iPhone Watch app (yellow path verification required). Same as before, do not complete the ID&V
complete ID&V process using the Issuer App either from iPhone or Watch.
the Issuer app receives the application:openURL:options: callback on its AppDelegate. In the options dictionary, we can not see the UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey populated (it is nil).
At this moment, for the card we are adding there are now two tokens, both to be verified via ID&V process. One is on the iPhone and one is on the Apple Watch associated with the same iPhone.
The url received at step 4 contains the serial number which identifies the digitized card and matches with both the tokens in the iPhone and in the Apple Watch.
We need something to detect programmatically if the digitization process started from the iPhone Wallet app or from the wallet inside the Watch app.
Could you please help us to identify how we could discriminate if the ID&V process has been started for the iPhone token or for the Apple Watch token?
Thanks
