iOS 16 recurring payment configuration not reflecting in UI
We are integrating iOS 16 recurring payments in our app, everything works fine but we have a few questions Question 1 let recurringPaymentRequest = PKRecurringPaymentRequest(         paymentDescription: "Pro Membership",         regularBilling: regularBilling,         managementURL: url       ) we assume managementURL is supposed to come in the user's wallet where he/she can tap to change the recurring payment option to our backend, but in the wallet, the transaction appears without this URL and have no indication that it is a recurring payment, Can someone guide what we missed Question 2 For apps that only have apple pay on mobile, managementURL can open the app as a deep link from the Wallet app and the user can update or delete the payment method for the automatic reload payment from the app directly, Question 3 For cancellation, the recurring payment app should have some UI where the user can tap which hit our backend and remove the apple pay merchant token from our system and apply cancellation business logic, no apple API involves in the cancellation of recurring payment

Credit card ICC Public Key Certificate retrieval
Hello! I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow. Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple. I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details. Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one? Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?

Unable to Add AMEX Card to Sandbox Account
I’m trying to test an AMEX card in the sandbox environment, but it’s not getting added. I have followed and verified the checks below to add the card to Wallet: Sandbox account is active. Sandbox user region is set to the US. Device region is also set to the US. AMEX card from the provided list is being added. Tested on iOS version 17.6.1 Devices tested include iPhone 13 and others. Steps followed to add the card to Wallet: Open Wallet and tap on "Add Card." Entered the required test data. Tapped "Agree" and waited. Received error: "Issuer does not support this card." Please let me know if you have any solutions.

Replacement For Expiring Merchant Identity Certificate Validation Issue
We are on a .NET ecommerce site hosted on AWS on a windows 2012R2 server. We have apple pay for the web integrated on the site and the certificates (merchant id and apple pay) were set to expire shortly. We created a new merchant id and apple pay cert, however we are now stuck as the new merchant ID certificate doesn't appear to be working although the old one did. Note there have been no code changes. Basically the apple pay process is failing on the merchant validation. Here are the steps we took: Created a CSR in Keychain Access Generated a Merchant ID cert in the Apple Developer account with that CSR. Imported the Merchant ID cert back into Keychain Access and exported as a p12 file the cert and the private key used to generate the CSR. Imported the p12 file into Windows 2012 R2. I can see in our debugging that the new certificate is being loaded but a SSL/TSL connection couldn't be made. So it seems there is an issue with the cert. Has anyone encountered this? I'm out of ideas at this point and under a lot of pressure from management to fix what was supposed to be a routine maintenance issue. If anyone has any ideas, that would be greatly appreciated.

Merchant domain verification
Hello, I'm experiencing an irregular issue with Apple Pay merchant domain verification. As you know, Apple requires domain verification every two months to maintain Apple Pay functionality. The problem is that while the verification sometimes happens automatically without any issues, other times it fails to complete, even though the required file "apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt" is correctly available on our server. When automatic verification fails, the Apple Pay service becomes non-functional on our website, forcing us to perform a manual verification to restore the pending service. Is it normal to encounter such inconsistent automatic verification processes? What could be causing these intermittent verification failures, whereas manual verification always succeed? suggesting this might not be related to IP address restrictions described on the Apple documentation. Thank you in advance,

Clarification on Apple Pay Domain Verification File Behavior
I'm implementing Apple Pay in my Flutter web app and I'm following the guidelines for domain verification using the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file. When I access the file at https://mydomain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association through my web app, the browser silently downloads the file instead of displaying its content on the webpage. My question is: Is this the expected behavior for the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file? Should the browser download the file silently, or is there another step required, such as displaying the content on the webpage for verification purposes? I've consulted some resources and they indicate that the file download is the correct behavior. However, I'd appreciate confirmation from the community to ensure I'm implementing the verification process correctly. Summary is how do we know if apple has verified it?

In-app provisioning for Apple Pay
We created apps for many credit unions in Canada. Some of those apps has the feature to directly add users' debit cards to Apple Wallet (which is called by Apple as "in-app provisioning"). The feature has been working fine for at least 6 years for many credit unions. Recently, after updating one of those existing apps, we found out that the in-app provisioning is no longer working. Found it very strange, as we didn't touch the code base related to this feature for a very long time. One thing we found out is that the option to add in-app provisioning entitlement is missing during generating "provisioning profile" for the app. Is this a misconfiguration by App? Or do we need to request for additional entitlement migration as mentioned in the page: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/reference/provisioning-with-managed-capabilities ? Apple, please help, it's rather urgent.

Apple Wallet pass registration sometimes doesn't trigger
Hello, we re developing a loyalty platform for end users and as such emit Apple wallet store cards. Problem we're facing is that the HTTP POST /v1/devices/:deviceLibraryIdentifier/registrations/:passTypeIdentifier/:serialNumber in some cases doesn't come through and we have no idea why. This only happens to a small percentage of customers, others work just fine. Does anyone have an idea why this might happen? I believe our setup is correct when 90% of customers work and we receive these HTTP requests to our server.

What authentication is required to get a 200 successful response?

Event tickets in Apple Wallet: QR Code size
Earlier this year implemented saving event tickets to Apple Wallet (and Google Wallet, which was painful by comparison!), as an optional alternative to recipients leaving the QR Codes in email or printing them. Scanning barcodes on entry is done using camera on phones (either iPhone or Android). This is a somewhat pressured situation with lots of people needing scans in quite a short period of time. I do not do this myself but I do get feedback. it was reported to me that Apple Wallet barcodes are significantly harder to scan accurately than those in Google Wallet. They think that is because the Apple QR Codes are quite a bit smaller (and presumably harder, therefore, to get focussed properly). They do work, it just takes longer to get a successful scan. This doesn’t seem to be anything I can control, and there seems to be plenty of space to make them bigger, even on my iPhone mini. These aren’t terribly dense barcodes; I imagine they would be harder still if they were. I also guess specialised barcode readers might do better, but we don’t have that luxury. I’d appreciate it if they could be bigger when displayed in Apple Wallet, or at least to have that as an option.

NotSupportedError, The payment method is not supported
What am I missing in my checking for whether or not to offer Apple Pay on my website? <script async crossorigin src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/v1.1.0/apple-pay-sdk.js" ></script> ... <style> apple-pay-button { display: none; } </style> ... <apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="plain" locale="en-US" onclick="startApplePay('${APPLE_PAY_MERCHANT_ID}','${paymentForm.amount}');"></apple-pay-button> So, the button is not displayed by default. I only change the style to displayed if: window.onload = function() { if (isApplePaySupported()) { document.querySelector("apple-pay-button").style.display = "inline-block"; }; } function isApplePaySupported() { return (window.PaymentRequest && window.ApplePaySession && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments() && ApplePaySession.supportsVersion(applePayVersion)); } Yet, once in a while a click comes through that tries to create a PaymentRequest with const applePayMethod = { "supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay", "data": { "version": applePayVersion, "merchantIdentifier": merchantIdentifier, "merchantCapabilities": [ "supports3DS" ], "supportedNetworks": [ "amex", "discover", "masterCard", "visa" ], "countryCode": "US" } }; and results in: NotSupportedError, The payment method is not supported What else might be "not supported" in the request for this particular user/device/wallet? In particular, that could be known immediately when the PaymentRequest is created, but before any payment instrument from the wallet is selected? And, is there anything I could detect before showing the button? Or, is it even possible for the button to be clicked by some kind of automation, even if it's not displayed?

Unable to validate merchant while integrating Apple Pay for Web Application
We are seeking assistance with an issue encountered during the integration of Apple Pay into our web application using the third-party payment gateway Heartland. Our application uses JavaScript on the client side and PHP on the server side. Despite following all the guidelines provided by Heartland, we are unable to validate the merchant at the backend. The validation consistently returns false. We request your guidance or a step-by-step solution to help resolve this issue. Steps Followed: Registered a merchant identifier in our Apple Developer account. Enabled the Apple Pay Processing Certificate for the merchant. Logged into the Heartland account, accessed the Apple Pay setup page from the "Keys and Credentials" section, and created a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Uploaded the CSR from Heartland to the Apple Pay Processing Certificate in the Apple Developer account. Downloaded the signed certificate from the Apple Developer account and uploaded it to Heartland. For the web application: Registered the merchant identifier and validated our domain in the Apple Developer account. Created a Merchant Identity Certificate linked to the same merchant identifier. Followed the same steps 2–5 from the in-app implementation. Code Implementation: Client-Side (React): import React from 'react'; const Button = () => { const initializeApplePay = () => { if (window.ApplePaySession && window.ApplePaySession.canMakePayments()) { const paymentRequest = { countryCode: 'US', currencyCode: 'USD', supportedNetworks: ['visa', 'masterCard', 'amex'], merchantCapabilities: ['supports3DS'], total: { label: 'Your Store', amount: '1.00' }, }; const session = new window.ApplePaySession(3, paymentRequest); // Merchant Validation session.onvalidatemerchant = (event) => { fetch('https://staging-api.parkengage.com/apple-pay-session', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ initiative: 'web', initiativeContext: 'parkengage.com', validationURL: event.validationURL, }), }) .then((response) => response.json()) .then((data) => { if (data.error) { console.error('Merchant validation failed:', data.error); } else { session.completeMerchantValidation(data); } }) .catch((error) => console.error('Validation error:', error)); }; session.onpaymentauthorized = (event) => { const paymentToken = event.payment.token; fetch('/process-payment', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ token: paymentToken }), }) .then((response) => response.json()) .then((data) => { if (data.success) { session.completePayment(window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS); } else { session.completePayment(window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_FAILURE); } }) .catch((error) => console.error('Payment error:', error)); }; session.begin(); } else { console.log('Apple Pay is not supported on this device.'); } }; return ( Buy with Apple Pay ); }; export default Button; Server-Side (PHP cURL): curl 'https://staging-api.parkengage.com/apple-pay-session' -X 'POST' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "https://parkengage.com", "validationURL": "https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession" }' Issue: The merchant validation fails and returns false. Please guide us on troubleshooting this issue or provide insights on missing configurations.

Apple Pay In-App Provisioning
Hello, I am following up on my previous feedback (Feedback ID: FB17175593) regarding the in-app provisioning failure for Apple Pay. In that report, I detailed errors encountered during the card addition process (notably issues related to a missing teamID and cryptographic material errors). Could you please provide an update on the investigation progress? I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

Device selection on Apple Pay In-App provisioning is incorrect
I am encountering an issue with the in-app provisioning flow using PKAddPaymentPassViewController. Specifically, when presenting the controller to allow users to add a pass to Apple Wallet, the device selection screen is showing all the devices, even after setting the primaryAccountIdentifier on the PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration. Here's the context: I'm using PKAddPaymentPassViewController for in-app provisioning. I provide a valid primaryAccountIdentifier in the configuration. But after adding the pass, if i print back the primaryAccountIdentifier it displays some other value different than the identifier i had set(Example masked identifier: FAPLMC1GB000000066aa4xxxxxxxxxxxa744f16axxxxxxxx). The provisioning flow works, but the device list shown to the user includes all the devices (e.g., Apple Watches and iPhone even though it is already added to Apple Watch or iPhone).
