Receiving 401 since Friday 24th Jan 2025 from https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant
we are experiencing an issue when making an HTTP call to: "https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant". The response we are receiving back is HTTP Status Code 401 Unauthorized. We noticed the issues started around "Jan 24, 2025 at 9:51:46.327 am" and is still carrying on. Some other examples of when the calls failed: Jan 27, 2025 at 3:04:31.387 pm Jan 27, 2025 at 9:46:04.068 am Jan 27, 2025 at 3:36 pm All of the above dates and times are UK GMT +0 times. As the problem is around HTTP status code of 401 Unauthorised its tough to show what's actually happening. Like I stated above everything was working correctly before the 24th of Jan and nothing has changed or been modified on our side. I have even tried to do the following: Use the first set of Certs to perform a test Still returns 401 Delete a Cert and re generating them from scratch to perform a test with those set of Certs Still returns 401 I have just tried to process another HTTP call to the paymentservices/registerMerchant and I could inspect the headers of the request and im hoping this helps in your investigation. Headers: x-keystone-correlationid = 8f9a3c16-f78f-4f9b-9484-63190ef14a77 Date = Tue, 28 Jan 2025 10:00:43 GMT x-envoy-upstream-service-time = 4 x-apay-service-response-details = via_upstream We also found an article that has us a bit worried about this issue. Article here: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=2x8awlvm States that Apple/Apple Pay will be making some changes to the ciphers in the coming months. With this article and the issues we seeing on Sandbox Environment we are worried that come the 4th of February as stated in the article that our Production Environment will be effected and we will stop being able to use Apple Pay so that gives us about a week to fix any issues/change code that might come out of it. Please could you come back with some information around the Article posted and if our Production Environment would be impacted.

Which validation url should we use, startSession or paymentSession? How to use the correct one?
Issue Description In our Apple Pay integration process, the validation URL returned from the onvalidatemerchant callback is: https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession However, according to Apple’s official documentation (reference link), the correct validation URL is: https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession We are seeking clarification and assistance regarding the following issues: Issue 1 Will continuing to use the startSession URL cause problems or errors? Are there functional differences between the two URLs (startSession and paymentSession)? Does Apple still officially support startSession, or are we required to switch to paymentSession? Issue 2 We occasionally experience the following 400 error, even though the URL we use for validation is the one returned from the onvalidatemerchant callback: 400: { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception merchantId=*** not registered for domain=***.com", "statusCode": "400" } We have verified the following: Our Merchant ID and certificates are valid. All Apple Pay configuration details, including merchant domain verification and placement of the .well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file, have been correctly set up and verified. However, we still encounter the error intermittently. Questions: If we need to transition to using paymentSession, how should we do this? Could this error be related to the use of startSession? If not, how should we troubleshoot further? Support Needed Confirmation and clarification on the proper usage and differences between the two URLs: startSession and paymentSession. Guidance on how we can investigate and resolve the 400 error to ensure that the Apple Pay validation process works consistently. We appreciate your assistance and support!

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.

In app loot purchasing
hI, I’m looking for some clarity on the rules around in app purchasing, so I play a game with in app purchases that you have random odds of getting items out of loot boxes, they split the loot into sections, so featured, mega rare, rare and common. for each of these sections they give a % chance that they show of what chance you have to get an item out of that section, I.e featured is 1.24% and common is 74% ect. my question is should they then have to display the odds of what each item has in those sections as well or is it good enough just to have the sections with % chance? So each section could have 10 items in, should those items have a % next to as well? any advice you can give with this would be appreciated, if needs be I can send picture examples of what I’m explaining

Apple Pay Merchant Token on Web
Hello. I have a few questions about the implementation of Apple Pay payments on websites. Could you help me From the documentation: Apple Pay issues an Apple Pay Merchant Token if the user’s payment network supports merchant-specific payment tokens. Otherwise, Apple Pay issues a device token for the payment request. How can we determine whether a token is a merchant token or a device token? Is it possible to determine this by any of the token fields? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/payment-token-format-reference Is it possible to understand this in other ways? Can I make recurring payments with the device token if it was issued instead of the merchant token? Is it necessary to include the tokenNotificationURL when generating a merchant token, or can we generate one without specifying it? What does the applicationExpirationDate field in the merchant token represent? Is this the date when the device token or merchant token expires and payments cannot be made with it?

Wallet Extension show tips "Cannot Add Card"
When integrating the Wallet Extension, after clicking my app icon from the "From Apps on Your iPhone" list, I encountered the message: "Cannot Add Card. 'XXX' is not responding. Wait a few minutes and try again. If the problem continues, contact the card issuer's customer service" instead of the configured login page appearing as expected. What could be causing this issue, and how should I resolve it?

Error Domain=PKPassKitErrorDomain Code=2
This error occurs in Apple Pay Wallet In-App Provisioning Flow for Credit / Debit Cards When the data received from the PNO (Visa) is passed to PKAddPaymentPassRequest this error is seen in addPaymentPassViewController, in the finalize stage. Docs provide no clue as to what could be wrong. iOS 18.2.1 XCode 15.2 Error description mentions "unsupportedVersionError" Is the pass version not supported? Is the wallet version not supported? Is it an app implementation error or error in the data received from the PNO?

The Future of the PaymentRequest API
I am adding Apple Pay to my eCommerce site and I am having a lot of difficulty with the PaymentsRequest API in Microsoft Edge browser. I have a partial implementation that displays the Apple Pay button and creates a PaymentRequest when the button is clicked. That's all. On Safari, this is enough to display the Apple Pay dialog. The process doesn't proceed further because I haven't implemented a handler for the merchantvalidation event. With Chrome on a Mac, the behavior is the same, I can scan the code and see the Apple Pay dialog. On Microsoft Edge, I never see the code to scan. In my web console, I'm seeing errors like InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'canMakePayment' on 'PaymentRequest': Cannot query payment request and NotSupportedError: The payment method "https://apple.com/apple-pay" is not supported. No "Link: rel=payment-method-manifest" HTTP header found at "https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/" Is Apple Pay not supported on Windows? I see the demo site here, which gets farther than I have gotten. It does display the scan code, but payment still never completes. I see the same payment-method-manifest error in the console. If Apple Pay is not supported on any PCs other than Macs, is there any reason to use the PaymentRequest API instead of Apple Pay JS? I started digging into the W3C standards and it turns out that merchantvalidation event is deprecated. Chrome on Mac does catch it, so it seems like it's supported there. But I have concerns about the long term future. Is it going to remain supported? If so, I would imagine that the interface could change. It seems like the only benefit of the W3C PaymentRequest API is that Mac users with non-Safari browsers may still be able to use Apple Pay. In theory, that's something I'd still like to support, even if it's only a small number of users, but I only have time for one integration right now, and I need to pick the best one. How much faith should I have in the W3C PaymentRequest API? Is it reasonable to pursue it with the goal of including all Mac users regardless of browser? Or is it likely a dead API and I should stick to Apple Pay JS instead to provide a better experience to Safari users? It also looks like the PaymentRequest API isn't fully finalized yet, so maybe that's the source of my issues. Maybe I should just use Apple Pay JS for now with an eye to supporting PaymentRequest when the spec is finalized. I greatly appreciate your input.

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?

Apple Pay testing in Sandbox for Austria
Dear Team, we are from Austria and want to test our apple pay on the web implementation via Apple Sandbox. As far as we can see Austria is not on the list that sandbox supports Apple Pay testing for. Can you please advise how can we move forward with testing? We have already created and also tried out our Sandbox account on iPhone 11 and successfully added test cards to the Wallet. Can we expect please in later stage some restrictions due to our region? Thank you in advance. Iveta
