Hi,
You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of Wallet Extensions for Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a new report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below with the appropriate log profiles installed.
Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues
While troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification, it is essential that the issuer is able to collect logs on their device and check those logs for error message. This is also essential when reporting issues to Apple. To gather the required data for your own debugging as well as reporting issues, please perform the following steps on the test device:
Install the Apple Pay and Wallet profiles on your iOS or watchOS device. If the issue occurs on Mac, continue to Step 2.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device, or on macOS.
Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The bundle IDs
App bundle ID
Non-UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
The serial number of the device.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Serial Number.
The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > System Report > NVMExpress > Serial Number.
The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue.
The timestamp (including timezone) of when the issue was reproduced.
The type of provisioning failure (e.g., error at Terms & Conditions, error when adding a card, etc.)
The issuer/network/country of the provisioned card (e.g., Mastercard – US)
Last 4 digits of the FPAN
Last 4 digits of the DPAN (if available)
Was this test initiated from the Issuer App? (e.g., yes or no)
The type of environment (e.g., sandbox or production)
Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional).
Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or bundle ID of your app or app extensions in the Console app.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Apple Pay client.

I recently created a Sandbox account and successfully added an Apple Pay test MasterCard to the sandbox Wallet to run a test.
Yesterday, I created a different account and tried to add a MasterCard on another device, but I received a "Card device limit" error.
I then deleted the card from the original device (where it had been successfully added) and tried to re-add it, but this device also failed.
I was able to confirm that a JCB card can be added, but I need to test with MasterCard. What should I do to resolve this?

We are working with two types of wallet passes. Provisioning works successfully for one pass type via wallet extensions, but the same process is not functioning for the other. For the second pass type, we are able to generate the required data for pull provisioning and send it to Apple. Additionally, in-app push provisioning for this pass type completes without issue. We would appreciate guidance on how to further debug and resolve this provisioning problem.
We have updated the PNO metadata to include the associatedApplicationIdentifiers for our wallet extensions and the issuer app. While we are able to successfully provision the card to Apple Wallet via pull provisioning, we are unable to retrieve the payment passes that have already been provisioned. How can we address this issue?
let passLibrary = PKPassLibrary()
let paymentPassLibrary = self.passLibrary.passes(of: .secureElement)
paymentPassLibrary is an empty array even though we have passes provisioned.
Hi,
I’m encountering an issue in my app’s Wallet Extension, specifically within the Non-UI Extension, where we are unable to retrieve payment passes bound to a user’s account. The same code that successfully retrieves these bound cards in the main app does not work when used in the Non-UI Extension.
Case-ID: 8932090
Steps to Reproduce:
Set up In-App Provisioning:
Ensure that the app has the necessary In-App Provisioning permissions. This functionality works correctly in the main app, confirming that the permissions are properly configured.
Configure Wallet Extensions:
Follow the Wallet Extensions documentation to configure the app, including all required settings for the Non-UI Extension.
Add Code to Retrieve Payment Passes:
In the main app’s LoginView, implement the following code in the handleLogin() method to retrieve payment passes:
// Get the identifiers of payment passes that already exist in Apple Pay.
paymentPassLibrary = self.passLibrary.passes(of: .secureElement)
for pass in paymentPassLibrary {
if let identifier = pass.secureElementPass?.primaryAccountIdentifier {
if pass.isRemotePass && pass.deviceName.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains("Apple Watch") {
remotePassIdentifiers.insert(identifier)
} else if !pass.isRemotePass {
passIdentifiers.insert(identifier)
}
}
}
Verify Functionality in Main App:
Run the app and verify that the code successfully retrieves the payment passes bound to the user’s account.
Implement Code in Non-UI Extension:
Add the same code to the Non-UI Extension, specifically in the WNonUIExtHandler class within the override func status(completion: @escaping (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionStatus) -> Void) method.
Test in Wallet Extension:
Run the Wallet Extension and observe that the payment passes are not retrieved when the code is executed in the Non-UI Extension.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide insight into why the code might not work in the Non-UI Extension compared to the main app?
Support Information:
iOS Version: 17.5.1
Development environment: Xcode 15.4 (15F31d), macOS 14.3 (23D56)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
PLATFORM AND VERSION
iOS
Development environment: Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), macOS 14.6.1
Run-time configuration: iOS 26
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
We would like to seek clarification on how to determine whether a card used via Apple Pay is a credit or debit card before sending the transaction request.
Currently, we can retrieve the card type information (credit/debit) from the Apple Pay response payload, but this is only available after the payment has been processed.
However, we need to determine the card type in advance, as our system calculates and applies transaction fees based on the card type, which should be added to the total transaction amount before submission.
Could you please advise if there is any parameter, API field, or pre-authorization mechanism available to identify the card type prior to initiating the transaction request?
We would appreciate your guidance or any related documentation for implementing this.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Initiate Apple pay
Payment from Apple pay
Getting payload
we can retrieve the card type information (credit/debit) from the Apple Pay response payload, but this is only available after the payment has been processed.
We need to identify if there's any way to know the card user selected(whether it is credit/debit) before processing the payment.
Hi all,
I’m running into a confusing issue with Apple Pay domain verification. Apple’s documentation says to host the verification file at:
https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
And the portal itself seems to expect the file to be served with .txt extension during verification. My first verification passed, but subsequent checks are failing — and I’m wondering if this mismatch is the cause.
Should I Keep the .txt and configure my server to serve it at both paths?
Would appreciate any insights or official clarification.
Thanks!

We’re attempting to call the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API using our Platform Integrator flow and consistently receive 401 Unauthorized, despite successful TLS/mTLS.
Details:
Endpoint: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant (POST)
Payload:
{
"domainNames": ["breakerfy.com"],
"encryptTo": "platformintegrator.ai.packman",
"partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier": "merchant.ai.packman.1",
"partnerMerchantName": "breakerfy",
"merchantUrl": "https://breakerfy.com"
}
Domain association:
URL: https://breakerfy.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
What we tried:
We created a Payment Platform Integrator ID (platformintegrator.ai.packman)
We created a CertificateSigningRequest
We used the certificate signing request to create an Apple Pay Platform Integrator Identity Certificate and downloaded the signed certificate.
We exported the Private Key from keychain access in PKCS 12 format
We converted both the private key and the signed certificate to PEM format
We created a merchant id
We used the converted keys to send requests to the API
We received {
"statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception Unauthorized",
"statusCode": "401"
}
we also tried curl with the original p12 file and also had no luck.
What could be the issue ?

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!
I am adding In-App provisioning to my app. I am able to access the Apple Pay Sandbox and I have successfully tested adding a secure element/payment pass to Apple Wallet. However, once the pass has been added to the wallet, I can not access or retrieve the pass from my app. I have confirmed with the PNO that the PNO Pass Metadata Configuration in the testing environment include the correct metadata for "associatedApplicationIdentifiers" and "associatedStoreIdentifiers".
Does anyone know why I am having this issue and how I can resolve it?
Steps used to access pass in Apple Wallet
I am unable to view the pass when I attempt to access it using the PKPassLibrary function as follows:
let library = PKPassLibrary()
if #available(iOS 13.4, *) {
// This returns an empty array
library.passes(of: .secureElement)
} else {
// This also returns an empty array
library.passes(of: .payment)
}
// This returns an empty array too
library.passes()
Steps used to add pass to Apple Wallet
These are the steps I follow to add the card:
I create a PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration
I use this config to instantiate a PKAddPaymentPassViewController.
I provide the nonce, nonceSignature, and certificates to my PNO along with the card data.
I receive the activationData, encryptedPassData, and ephemeralPublicKey from my PNO and create a PKAddPaymentPassRequest using this data.
I add the pass to Apple Wallet.
In the addPaymentPassViewController callback, I am able to view the pass data from the .didFinishAdding pass: PKPaymentPass? variable. I am also able to see that the pass has been added from Apple Wallet app. I am not able to access the pass using PKPassLibrary().passes() at this point. I am not able to access the pass at any point after adding it either.
For Apple Pay testing, I have tried the following:
Sign into the Sandbox Account via Developer Settings:
Settings > Developer > Sandbox Account
Keep your main Apple ID for everything else
Add Test Cards to Wallet:
Try adding the test card numbers (MasterCard and Visa Debit, as we support only those) Apple provides in their documentation. Unfortunately, none of them are added to the wallet. All the time it gives 'Could Not Add Card'.
I tried on devices with iOS 18+.
Can anyone advise on this?
Thanks

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?
Hello, we are developing in app provisioning of our American Express network cards.
After clicking add to apple wallet in our app, I launch the PKAddPaymentPassViewController and click next.
It loads for a few seconds and then I get:
[<private>] ProvisioningOperationComposer: Step '<private>' failed with error Error Domain=PKProvisioningErrorDomain Code=5 UserInfo={PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500}
Does anyone have any insight on what this error means?
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?
We have implemented In-App Provisioning, but when I start the tokenization process, I receive an error before the terms and conditions.
We are testing with a version of the app on TestFlight.
The error message is: Could not add card. Try again later or contact your card issuer for more information.
Could you please help me?
I'm facing problem with in-app-provisioning in production application. When we try to tokenize (before T&C step) we are getting error from topic.
I've also posted this in Feedback Assistant: FB18403577.
I'll be very happy if someone could help me to get what is wrong with data or configuration of application.
I tried to test In-App Provisioning in Production for our whitelisted app through TestFlight (Internal Testing Track) and we received the following error response from PassBook during the provisioning attempt, Could you please guide us?
Error Response from sysdiagnose PassBookUIService during In-App Provisioning attempt:

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
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-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.

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.
