"Client is not entitled" Error (Code=4) with PKAddShareablePassConfiguration.forPassMetaData Despite Correct Entitlements
Hello, I'm experiencing a critical issue with PassKit's shareable pass functionality. Despite having the necessary entitlements configured, I'm getting an entitlement error when calling PKAddShareablePassConfiguration.forPassMetaData. Failed to create PKAddShareablePassConfiguration: Error Domain=PKPassKitErrorDomain Code=4 "client is not entitled" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=client is not entitled} private func createPassViewController(from response: PreparePushProvisioningResponse) { guard let passMetadata = PKShareablePassMetadata( provisioningCredentialIdentifier: response.provisioningCredentialIdentifier, cardConfigurationIdentifier: response.cardConfigurationIdentifier, sharingInstanceIdentifier: response.sharingInstanceIdentifier, passThumbnailImage: response.passThumbnailImage, ownerDisplayName: response.ownerDisplayName, localizedDescription: response.localizedDescription ) else { print("Failed to create PKShareablePassMetadata") return } print("PKShareablePassMetadata created successfully") // This is where the error occurs PKAddShareablePassConfiguration.forPassMetaData( [passMetadata], provisioningPolicyIdentifier: "", // Empty as per documentation action: .add ) { (configuration, error) in if let error = error { print("Failed to create PKAddShareablePassConfiguration: \(error)") // Error Domain=PKPassKitErrorDomain Code=4 "client is not entitled" return } guard let config = configuration else { print("PKAddShareablePassConfiguration is nil") return } // other code... } } The push provisioning preparation succeeds completely: Prepare push provisioning succeeded Credential ID: "XXXX-XXXX....." Owner: Teodora Description: Interflex NFC development PKShareablePassMetadata created successfully Then immediately fails at PKAddShareablePassConfiguration.forPassMetaData() with the entitlement error. Xcode Configuration Issues: When manually entering capabilities in Xcode's Signing & Capabilities tab, I receive this error: Provisioning profile "20250929 VIDC QA DEV" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.contactless-payment-pass-provisioning entitlement. Profile qualification is using entitlement definitions that may be out of date. Connect to network to update. When I don't manually enter the capabilities in the Runner.entitlements file, the provisioning profile error disappears in Xcode, but the runtime entitlement error persists.

Issue with Wallet Popup Despite Pass Presentation Suppression
We have developed an app that communicates with an external reader using BLE, and the reader also supports NFC. We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement required to enable Pass Presentation Suppression, referencing Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpasslibrary/requestautomaticpasspresentationsuppression(responsehandler:) In most cases, this works as expected and the Wallet popup does not appear. However, in some cases — particularly when the app is running in the foreground — the Wallet still appears for users. We have verified that the app bundle includes the required entitlement, and the Info.plist correctly specifies the Pass Presentation Suppression key set to true. Could you please help us understand under what conditions this behavior might still occur, or if any additional configuration is required?

Custom HCE payment UI
We are currently developing a wallet solution that uses the iOS EEA HCE API. During the development of our solution we have been unable to identify how we can opt out of using the native HCE payment modal screen or biometric authentication UI so that we can customise the experience to align with our overall customer experience. The only available customisation is a label below the title of the screen which does not meet our needs. Please can you advise how we can opt out of using the native HCE payment modal screen. If it is not possible to opt out of using the native HCE payment modal screen, please can you provide the rationale for this given the Digital Marketing Act interoperability guidelines and EU Commitments in case AT.40452.

PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression Behavior
We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement to enable Pass Presentation Suppression. In most cases, our code snippet works as expected, and the result is .success. However, we are also encountering other results, such as .denied, .alreadyPresenting, and .cancelled or .notSupported, which cause the Wallet to appear for users. Here's the code snippet we're using: PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression { result in logger.log( .info, "PKPassLibrary suppression result: \(result.description)", LogContext.homeFeature ) } I would appreciate clarification on the following points: What's the meaning of each result type (.denied, .alreadyPresenting, .cancelled, .notSupported) beyond what is mentioned in the documentation? The documentation here does not provide additional details. What is the recommended handling for these specific result states? Should we be taking different actions or retries based on each case? Thank you very much for your help. Best, Ramiro.
