In-app provisioning, UnsupportedVersionError when submitting PKAddPaymentPassRequest with test data from TSP.
Hello, I am setting up a feature for my company's banking app that allows users to add their payment/debit card they have with us to the Apple Wallet on their device. We have the in-app provisioning entitlement setup and configured in the app and configured with our banking partner/TSP. We are able to manually provision production environment cards via the Wallet app. I am using test card data from my TSP. I send them the two certificates, nonce, and nonce signature data and am given activationData, encryptedPassData, and an ephmeralPublicKey that we then set on an instance of PKAddPaymentPassRequest. We call the handler on the delegate method that is called with that request object and get an error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (PKPassKitErrorDomain error 2.) Looking at the PassKit library shows this is PKUnsupportedVersionError - Unsupported pass version. Our TSP hasn't been super helpful in troubleshooting this issue and just said we should contact Apple as it is an Apple error. I am trying to figure out if the issue is with how we are implementing the feature or with the test data itself given to us.

Unable to Complete In-App Provisioning – Error 40456 on enable Endpoint
Hello, I am developing an Apple Pay and In-App Provisioning integration for the bank where I work. All entitlements are properly configured, and we are integrated correctly with our Payment Network Operator (PNO). We are using PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate to handle the provisioning process. The flow progresses as expected up to the Terms and Conditions screen. However, after accepting the terms, the process fails with the message: "Could not add card." Upon checking the device logs using the Wallet profile configuration, I observed the following response from Apple's backend: Response: https://nc-pod10-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/041315032816900221610987313158566F368A9CEBA1291E/cards/745f792b9d0644e5a6e713d54f505296/enable 500 Time profile: 1.80458 seconds { x-conversation-id = "6ec59a63424f4035915e32f22ea645e4" Vary = "accept-language" Content-Type = "application/json" x-pod = "nc-pod10" x-keystone-correlationid = "E3DD5A5A-FD18-4500-8570-2BD1334E281C" Date = "Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:05:03 GMT" x-apay-service-response-details = "via_upstream" Content-Length = "49" x-envoy-upstream-service-time = "964" x-pod-region = "paymentpass.com.apple" } { errorCode = 40456; statusCode = 500; } This seems to indicate that the card enablement step is failing on the server side. Our internal systems have not logged any request failure from Apple at this step, which makes it difficult to pinpoint whether the issue is in the PNO integration, entitlement configuration, or something else. We are currently testing in a production environment on a physical device (not using sandbox), and provisioning flows are initiated through our iOS app using PKAddPaymentPassRequest. Could you please help us interpret error code 40456 and identify what steps we should take to resolve this issue? If needed, we can also provide the full device log and additional details. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards, Mansur Bagwan

Payment Services Exception when trying to create an Apple Pay Session
I'm trying to create an Apple Pay session for my website. I'm starting with curl for now, just to get proof of concept. curl --cert cert.pem --pass {passphrase} --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"merchantIdentifier":"{merchantIdentifier}","displayName":"testDisplayName", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "{domain}"}' https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession This is the response I get back { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception merchantId={VERY-LONG-ID} not registered for domain={domain}", "statusCode": "400" } I'm not sure why this is happening. {domain} is in the form of sub.site.tld with no protocol, such as https, which matches what I see in the list of the domains in the merchant identity dashboard. The {merchantIdentifier} also matches what I see in the top right, but the merchantId in the response is something I don't recognize. It's a long string of characters that appears to be hexadecimal. I added the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file to my .well-known directory and the dashboard does report that the domain is verified. I am making the request from the web server that the domain resolves to, if that matters. I can't think of any reason this would be happening. I'm not sure where the long merchantId in the response is coming from. Does it matter that it doesn't match what I supplied in the request? As far as I can tell, I am using the correct merchantIdentifier. It matches the dashboard and the CN field of the certificate. I found this other post that seems to have a similar error: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671227 The main difference is a 417 status code instead of the 400 I got. But the problem here was that there was no payment processing certificate and I do have one of those. I haven't checked with my processor to verify that the certificate is published, but I will do that soon. I wouldn't expect that to matter. Maybe it does? What other reason could I be getting this error? Could it be a problem with my merchant identity certificate? It took a lot of effort to make it work. But I suspect it's fine, otherwise I wouldn't be getting a response from Apple at all. I can't think of any other possible problems.

Card details in the Wallet app shows as "Something went wrong. Try again later"
I'm encountering an issue with Apple Pay on both Wallet and the Watch app where the app name is not showing up on the back of the payment card(Card details). The pass was successfully provisioned, and everything seems to be working, but the expected app name or brand isn't displayed, and instead, I see the generic "Something went wrong. Try again Later" message. Do we need to configure something to get this displayed in Wallet app?

How does the Apple commission work if I use a third party payment for IAP?
I am helping one of my clients to build an app. Their app offers people to purchase an appointment with a trainer for some one-on-one training (i.e. exercises, weight lifting, cardio, ...etc.). According to 3.1.3(d) in https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#in-app-purchase 3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Services: If your app enables the purchase of real-time person-to-person services between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many real-time services must use in-app purchase. They want to use Stripe for in-app purchase. In this situation, how would Apple charge the commission? Do I need to file a report of some sort to Apple for the amount of charges? In addition, I saw a link regarding using alternative payment method in the EU https://developer.apple.com/support/apps-using-alternative-payment-providers-in-the-eu/#:~:text=Requirements%20for%20linking%20out%20to,for%20purchase%20on%20your%20website. What about in the United States? Are there any requirements we need to adhere to for the implementation please?

Unable to push provision any cards to Apple Pay from our app
We have recently begun testing in our production environment and have been unable to push provision any cards, receiving a 500 error: default 11:15:59.136742-0300 PassbookUIService Response: https://pr-pod9-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/SEID_NUMBER/cards 500 Time profile: 0.486102 seconds { x-conversation-id = "52463d9f488e428f829633a1518ea72d" Vary = "accept-language" Content-Type = "application/json" x-pod = "pr-pod9" x-keystone-correlationid = "058F11DE-839F-47AC-A623-741BF32CEA80" Date = "Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:15:58 GMT" x-apay-service-response-details = "via_upstream" Content-Length = "81" x-envoy-upstream-service-time = "172" x-pod-region = "paymentpass.com.apple" } { statusCode = 500; statusMessage = "Broker Service Response exception"; } In 05/2024 we received an e-mail from applepayentitlementsapple.com confirming the granting of in-app provisioning entitlements for our production apps.

Also, we sent another e-mail to applepayentitlementsapple.com, Case-ID: 11317916, but we haven't received a reply yet. Can you help us? We are concerned, since our pre-certification starts on January 27th. Thanks in advance.

Apple pay closes silently
During our Apple Pay integration testing, we encountered an issue that we're unsure how to resolve. Below are the steps we followed: Created an Apple Pay sandbox test account for Raul and added a test card, following the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ Opened the Golfmanager platform and initiated a booking. For payment, selected Apple Pay as the method. Raul clicked the Apple Pay button on the Golfmanager UI. He scanned the QR code using his iPhone, logged in with the test account. Apple Pay began validating our merchant identity and retrieved the wallet token to proceed with payment. The Apple Pay payment sheet appeared on Raul's iPhone, showing the card details and the amount requested by Golfmanager. Suddenly, the Apple Pay sheet closed unexpectedly, and we have no insight into what went wrong or what might be missing on our end. Here is the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r-73edQ9eBZzXi6HoSYYGjKO8LbxBrZi/view?usp=drive_web

Need Help with Apple Push Provisioning.
Hi, Please refer the info graphic . I'm an issuer Bank App, who wants to add a card to phone's Digital Wallet. When I hit add to Apple or Google wallet, my API call goes to a Token Requester server and then to Token Service provider. In this process, I do get a JWT token back, but when I try to add token to Digital Wallet, I always get the message "The pass cannot be read because it is not valid". So few question: Is there a way to debug the token that is received by the app? Is there any kind of API console that I can look to see what is happening and why the pass is not valid? I, being the Issuer Bank App, a Token Service Requester and A Token Service Provider, who should be communicating with Apple servers? Are there any documents that explicitly shows (example) the flow of adding a credit card to Digital Wallet from iOS perspective? Any other help is appreciated. On my end, I have done this: public void AddToDeviceAsync(string data) { try { var dataArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data); if (data.Length > 0) { if (PKAddPassesViewController.CanAddPasses && PKPassLibrary.IsAvailable) { _nsData = NSData.FromArray(dataArray); ObjCRuntime.Class.ThrowOnInitFailure = false; _pkPass = new PKPass(_nsData, out NSError e); if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(e?.LocalizedDescription)) { UserDialogs.Instance.AlertAsync(e.LocalizedDescription, AppResources.Alert); return; } if (!PkLibrary.Contains(_pkPass)) { var controller = new PKAddPassesViewController(_pkPass); var rootViewController = UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate.GetWindow().RootViewController; if (rootViewController != null) { var topController = TopViewControllerWithRootViewController(rootViewController); topController?.PresentViewController(controller, true, null); } } else { UserDialogs.Instance.AlertAsync(AppResources.Pass_Already_Present, AppResources.Alert); } } } else { UserDialogs.Instance.AlertAsync(AppResources.Invalid_Pass_Data, AppResources.Alert); } } catch (Exception e) { UserDialogs.Instance.AlertAsync(e.Message, AppResources.Alert); } }

NFC Certificate Request for Apple Wallet Pass Rejected – Need Assistance for EV Charging Station Use Case.
Hello Apple Developer Team/Community, I am working on developing an Apple Wallet pass with NFC functionality for our electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The goal is to enable a "tap-to-start charging" feature, providing a seamless and efficient experience for users. However, my request for an NFC certificate to enable this functionality has been rejected. Here is a summary of my use case and actions taken so far: 1. Use Case: The Wallet pass will allow users to initiate charging sessions by tapping their iPhones or Apple Watches on the EV charger. This feature aims to simplify the process by eliminating the need for additional apps, physical cards, or manual inputs. It enhances accessibility and aligns with Apple’s goals of providing users with secure and convenient solutions. 2. Steps Taken: Submitted the NFC certificate request with a detailed explanation of the functionality. Included diagrams and supporting documents demonstrating the workflow and system readiness. Received a rejection without clear guidance on how to address the issue. 3. Technical Readiness: Our backend is fully prepared to support NFC passes, including secure processing of tap events and payload encryption. The Wallet pass has been configured to include the nfc field with the required encryptionPublicKey. Request for Assistance: Could you provide guidance on improving my application to meet Apple’s criteria for NFC certificates? Are there specific requirements or examples of successful NFC-enabled Wallet pass applications that I can use as a reference? If anyone has faced a similar rejection, what steps did you take to get approval? Additional Information: Use case: EV charging stations NFC functionality: Tap-to-start charging session Current implementation: Pass is functional without NFC but requires NFC for seamless operation. Any advice or resources to help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, DeveloperSquillion

Obtaining documentation for In-App Provisioning after receiving entitlement
We are an issuer attempting to implement In-App Provisioning of Payment Cards leveraging Mastercard MDES and have successfully obtained our entitlement from Apple, but have not received the documentation titled "Getting Started with Apple Pay In-App Provisioning, Verification & Security". The latest copy I have found has been via Scribd for a version 3.0 from June 2020. I've tried contacting Apple Support and the In-App Provisioning Entitlements group but have had no luck. Thank you!

Inquiry about apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt Security and Access
I have a question regarding the file apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt. I understand that this file is used during API access for Apple Pay Web payments. However, is it necessary for our company to access this file during the payment process? Also, this domain validation file is expected to be placed in the publicly accessible “.well-known” folder on our web server. Is it acceptable for this file to remain readable by third parties on the Internet, including Apple’s servers, without posing any security risks? Since this file is generated during domain registration on the Apple Developer site and is unique to our domain, we believe there should be no security concerns even if accessed by third parties. However, are there any specific security requirements for this domain validation file? Please note that the domain validation has already been successfully completed. We appreciate your time and look forward to your guidance. Best regards,

WCSessionDelegate not being called in the Apple Wallet Extension With UI
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". Xcode Version 16.2 macOS Version 15.6.1 (24G90) Feedback ID FB20082564

How to use and test Wallet Transaction Shortcut in iOS Simulator?
The Shortcuts app offers the possibility to trigger shortcuts/intends when a wallet credit card is used and a new transaction is created. I would like to add transaction details to one of my apps and use such a shortcut for it. Other apps do the exact same thing, so this should not be a problem. Adding a shortcut to my app was not a big deal. However, how can this be tested on simulator? When trying to add a new automatization in the Shortcuts app using a wallet transaction as trigger I cannot finish the setup dialog since the Next button is disabled. I assume this is because no card is configured. When trying to add a card in Wallet I just receive that this was not successful. I have connected the simulator to a Sandbox Apple ID account using a region which supports Apple Pay (US). Using a real account does not solve the problem. Any idea how to get this working? Using real transaction within a store could obviously not be the solution for debugging.
