I’m having an issue verifying a domain for a Merchant ID. I’m implementing Apple Pay on the web for a demo, and I’ve configured the Azure server to match Apple’s requirements for domain verification, such as the TLS configuration, not requiring client certificates, and ensuring there are no redirects. I’ve run tests with OpenSSL and PowerShell and all responses return HTTP/1.1 200 OK. I also tested the URL Apple says it uses to validate the file under .well-known, and it does show the expected result. I already have the Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate approved; the only thing missing is the domain verification. I’m not sure what else to test—if you could help me with a possible solution, I’d really appreciate it. (The project is built in .NET 8 and hosted on Azure App Service.)

Hi, Somebody knows how to decode / decrypt emvData on Apple Pay e-commerce when paymentDataType=EMV? Thanks. Reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/payment-token-format-reference#Detailed-payment-data-keys-EMV

Hello, We are implementing Apple Wallet extensions (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler). While our UI extension works as expected, our Non-UI extension is unable to detect payment passes provisioned by our app. Specifically, PKPassLibrary().passes(of: .secureElement) returns an empty array when called from the Non-UI extension, even though the same call correctly returns the passes when executed from the Main iOS App. Our Payment Network Operator has confirmed that our extension bundle identifiers are correctly registered in the metadata on their side. They suggested that the Wallet Extensions entitlement (com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning) may require additional backend enablement for these specific Extension App IDs. Is there a known reason why PKPassLibrary would behave differently in the Non-UI extension vs the Main App? Beyond the standard entitlement request, is there a specific process to "activate" these IDs for extension visibility? Does anyone have guidance on reaching the appropriate team for backend entitlement activation issues? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi :) I'm new to app store connect, and I just want to verify what does it take to be able to test subscription for a new app that isn't approved yet using sandbox? Or is this not possible that the app has to be approved first? More context below: My app is a new app, I only submitted for review and I linked the subscription from the app’s In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on the version page when submit it for review. It got rejected for now. When the app review status is both in-review and rejected, I've tried to test my subscription, where there is a button (like "subscribe"/"become a member") in my app that user can click on, which it calls ios's IAPProvider.startMembershipPurchase, I just get Error: [IAPService] Product not found: [<my_subscription_id>]. I ensured my subscription's product id in app store connect matches with the one in my code. I can see the "rejected" status both on my app and the subscription. So can anyone help clarify if the app has to be approved first in order to test subscription? Or am I missing any other setup? Or it might just be my code? Thanks in advance! Any info is super helpful!

Hi, we are setting up Apple Pay on our website which sells only digital goods. We don't collect a shipping address because we aren't shipping anything. We want to use the user's billing address in order to show them the total amount (including sales tax) before they authorize the purchase. However, it seems that the billing address isn't always provided by Apple Pay before the payment is authorized. With Apple Pay, what is the recommended way of acquiring the user's billing address before they authorize the purchase? -- More details about our setup: We are using the Apple Pay JS API. In createPaymentRequest, we specify requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress'], but per the docs, the address is provided after the user authorizes the transaction. That is too late for us because we want to show the sales tax before the user authorizes the purchase. We have attempted to work around this by getting the billing contact details in session.onpaymentmethodselected. For example: session.onpaymentmethodselected = function (event) { const billingContact = event.paymentMethod.billingContact; // Sometimes `billingContact` exists, but other times it does not } This doc states: Before the user authorizes the transaction, you receive redacted billing contact information in a callback event. The redacted information includes only the necessary data for completing transaction tasks, such as calculating taxes or shipping costs. But in practice, we've observed that sometimes no billing contact information is provided. When a user switches from one card to another, we seem to never get the billing contact associated with the newly selected card. Is there something we're missing?

We are integrating Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our banking application using an external SDK. The provisioning flow works on the iOS Simulator (mock sheet appears), but fails on real devices via TestFlight with the error: internalInconsistency: "PKAddPaymentPassViewController can not be created" Environment: Xcode 16 iOS 18 Real device: iPhone (tested via TestFlight / Distribution build) Card network: Mastercard What we've verified: com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning entitlement is set to YES in our .entitlements file The entitlement is confirmed present in our Development provisioning profile via security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision | grep payment-pass → returns <true/> PKAddPaymentPassViewController.canAddPaymentPass() returns true on the device The card is NOT already in Apple Wallet (0 local/remote Secure Element passes) All provisioning data is present and valid (encryptedPayload, authorizationCode, primaryAccountSuffix, cardholderName) The external SDK is configured successfully at app launch Diagnostic logs from TestFlight build: canAddPaymentPass: true Local SE passes: 0 Remote SE passes: 0 suffix: 6165 name: [redacted] encryptedPayload length: 1130 authCode length: 514 scheme: Mastercard Card already in Wallet: false Error: internalInconsistency("PKAddPaymentPassViewController can not be created") Testing matrix: Environment Result Simulator Mock sheet appears (not a real test) Device + Debugger attached PKAddPaymentPassViewController error Device + Debugger detached (Dev build) SDK error 903: "device environment unsafe" TestFlight (Distribution) PKAddPaymentPassViewController cannot be created Questions: Can PKAddPaymentPassViewController fail to be created even when canAddPaymentPass() returns true? What other conditions could cause this? Is there a way to verify that the Distribution provisioning profile correctly includes the payment-pass-provisioning entitlement after it has been approved by Apple? Are there any additional Apple Pay entitlements or configurations (e.g., Wallet merchant setup, pass type identifiers) required beyond com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning for In-App Provisioning to work? Does regenerating the Distribution provisioning profile on Apple Developer Portal resolve cases where entitlements were added after the profile was originally created? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have some questions related to MPAN. What is the format of an MPAN? Is it the same as DPAN? Is it PAN preserving format? Is a Cryptogram required and if yes, what kind of cryptogram? Is it the same format as DPAN? Thanks in Advance!

I'm implementing payment processing with Apple Pay on the web, but I've been stuck right at the final step of the flow: decrypting the payment data sent by Apple. Here is a summary of my implementation: The backend language is Java. The frontend portal requests the session and performs the payment using the endpoints exposed by the backend. I created .p12 files from the .cer files returned by the Apple Developer portal for both certificates (Merchant Identity and Payment Processing) and I'm using them in my backend. The merchant validation works perfectly; the user is able to request a session and proceed to the payment sheet. However, when the frontend sends the encrypted token back to my sale endpoint, the problem begins. My code consistently fails when trying to decrypt the data (inside the paymentData node) throwing a javax.crypto.AEADBadTagException: Tag mismatch! I can confirm that the certificate used by Apple to encrypt the payment data is the correct one. The hash received from the PKPaymentToken (header.publicKeyHash) object exactly matches the hash generated manually on my side from my .p12 file. In the decryption process, I'm using Bouncy Castle only to calculate the Elliptic Curve (ECC) shared secret. For the final AES-GCM decryption, I am using Java's native provider since I already have the bytes of the shared secret calculated. (Originally, I was doing it entirely with BC, but it failed with the exact same error). We have exhaustively verified our cryptographic implementation: We successfully reconstruct the ephemeralPublicKey and compute the ECDH Shared Secret using our Payment Processing Certificate's private key (prime256v1). We perform the Key Derivation Function (KDF) using id-aes256-GCM, PartyU as Apple, and counter 00000001. For PartyV, we have tried calculating the SHA-256 hash of our exact Merchant ID string. We also extracted the exact ASN.1 hex payload from the certificate's extension OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.32 and used it as PartyV. We have tried generating brand new CSRs and Processing Certificates via OpenSSL directly from the terminal. Despite having the correct ECDH shared secret (and confirming Apple used our public key via the hash), the AES tag validation always fails.et, the AES tag validation always fails. Given that the math seems correct and the public key hashes match, could there be an environment mismatch (Sandbox vs. Production) or a domain validation issue causing Apple to encrypt the payload with a dummy PartyV or scramble the data altogether? Any guidance on this behavior or the exact PartyV expected in this scenario would be highly appreciated.

Dears, We are developing an apple wallet extension. In the Non-ui extension, in the getPaymentPassEntry overriden function we have to return an object such as: ``PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionPaymentPassEntry(identifier: identifier, title: label, art: getEntryArt(image: uiImage), addRequestConfiguration: requestConfig)!`` What is not clear are the requirements for this "art" parameter. Somewhere in the FAQ it says that the art has to be an image of 1536 x 969 resolution, <4 MB, squared corners, no chip contacts, and so forth) but we set there images of any size and the extension displays them without any problem. Are those requirements (1536 x 969 resolution, and so on) only for the images that are displayed in the wallet only after the card has been added? In this case, are those images coming from the PNO directly and not coming from the function above which is in the wallet extension? Thanks,

We're working on in-app provisioning for wallet access passes. When testing the in-app provisioning on a sandbox account, I get an error saying software update required. Please advise.

We are observing unexpected behavior in Apple Wallet for transactions processed via an online delivery platform. Here is the specific flow: Initial Authorization: The original order was placed for $22.30. Order Amendment: The user added an item 10 minutes later for $6.20, bringing the total to $28.50. The Issue: Apple Wallet only displays the $6.20 transaction. The initial $22.30 amount is not visible in the transaction list. Technical Verification: We confirmed that both backend authorization messages for the original amount and the add-on were approved. We verified that the final settlement amounts correctly reflect the sum of both charges ($28.50). We have confirmed the transaction lifecycle completed successfully on our end. Despite this, the customer only sees the $6.20 entry in their Wallet history, which creates confusion as it doesn't reflect the total spent. Has anyone encountered this sync issue between settlement totals and Wallet display, or is there a specific way we should be linking these related authorizations? Thanks!

Hi, I am currently implementing a recurring payment feature using the Apple Pay JS API. Based on the official demo (https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api), it appears that the recurringPaymentRequest object only supports a maximum of two stages: trialBilling and regularBilling. However, our service requires a multi-stage billing model with three or more different cycles/amounts as shown below: Example Schedule: Stage 1: 2,000 JPY (2026-03-01 to 2026-04-01) Stage 2: 1,500 JPY (2026-04-01 to 2026-10-01) Stage 3: 1,000 JPY (2026-10-01 to 2027-10-01) Stage 4: 500 JPY (Thereafter) Questions: Is there any way to directly define and display three or more different billing cycles/amounts on the Apple Pay payment sheet? If the API is strictly limited to two stages, what is the Apple-recommended way to provide transparency for such complex schedules while remaining compliant with the guidelines? For instance, is it acceptable to set the final amount in regularBilling and explain the preceding stages in the billingAgreement or paymentDescription fields? I would appreciate any insights or official guidance on this. Best regards,

We are implementing Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our issuer iOS application and are encountering a HTTP 500 error returned from Apple servers during the provisioning flow. The issue occurs after generating the encrypted payload and attempting to complete the provisioning process. The Apple service responds with 500 Internal Server Error, preventing the card from being added to Wallet. We would appreciate assistance identifying whether this is caused by: • a payload formatting issue, • cryptographic material mismatch, • entitlement / configuration issue, • or a server-side issue. Environment Platform • iOS: 26.3.1 • Device: iPhone 13 mini • Xcode: 26.3.1 Apple Pay configuration • In-App Provisioning entitlement enabled • Issuer app authorized by Apple for provisioning • Payment Network: Mastercard • Token Service Provider (TSP): MDES Testing environment • Production • App distribution method: TestFlight Provisioning Flow Overview Our implementation follows the standard Apple Pay In-App Provisioning flow: 1. User taps Add to Apple Wallet in issuer app. 2. App presents PKAddPaymentPassViewController. 3. App receives: • Apple public certificates • nonce • nonceSignature 4. Issuer backend generates: • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey 5. These values are returned to the app. 6. App constructs PKAddPaymentPassRequest. 7. Wallet attempts provisioning. At this point the request fails and Apple servers return HTTP 500. We see this in the system console, with the phone having Wallet debugging profile installed. Checklist – Common Issues Verified Based on the Apple Pay In-App Provisioning demo guidance, we verified the following configuration items. Entitlements • com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning enabled • Apple Pay capability enabled in Xcode • Correct Team ID and bundle configuration App configuration • PKAddPaymentPassViewController used for provisioning • PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate implemented • generateRequestWithCertificateChain implemented correctly Cryptographic data • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey All values are generated by our issuer backend and returned to the app Feedback ID: FB22249031 (In app provisioning error 500)

There's a purchase I make pretty often on a particular site and I'm trying to automate the boring parts with a macOS app. I can pull the merchant session from their ValidateMerchant endpoint. I can see the Apple Pay dialogue appear, then it will disappear with "Payment Not Completed." Is it fundamentally not possible to use someone else's merchant session in your own app? Thanks

How do we get addPaymentPassViewController response for in app verification without calling that function ? Currently we have working in app provisioning but not in app verification. The apple docs say "The process of generating the cryptographic OTP value is the same as for generating activationData for In-App Provisioning.". How is it the same when in in app provisioning we have this button that returns all necessary info and for in app verification there is no clear way of recieving same info.

Currently I have an app which is completely free for all the users, I might have future versions where I will introduce paid version, where I will surely use Apple IAP and Revenue CAT. How should I clarify this to App store? Should I tell only what I am doing today, or also tell what I will do in future and keep Apple IAP in my conversation?
