Hi,
We are distributing pk pass files via a web browser. When a user taps Add in the system pass preview, the pass is added successfully, the preview is dismissed, and the user remains in the browser.
From a user experience perspective, we would like to better guide users to their newly added pass in Apple Wallet.
Is there a supported API, URL scheme, or documented mechanism that allows a web-based flow to transition the user to the Wallet app after a pass has been added?
If direct app transitions are not supported in this scenario, what is the recommended best practice for helping users locate and open their newly added pass in Wallet?
Thank you for your guidance.

I´m tring to integrate InApp push provisioning but when I send the information from the issuer to SDK to add my debit card to wallet I saw this error: PKPassKitErrorDomain Code 2 error
Looking in the forum I found how to see part of the logs to get more detail on the error and I found:

I want to be able to retrieve payment form wallet, I've used the PKPassLibrary but it hasn't worked

My application is from a bank that provides payment passes, and when I try to retrieve passes already enrolled in the wallet, it always returns empty. Is there something I need to configure for it to work? This is what I've tried, and it hasn't worked

I'm creating an event ticket Apple Wallet Pass and setting a light-coloured background image. When I do this, it automatically sets the foregroundColor to white, even when I explicitly set it to black.
What's strange is that on my Mac, the foregroundColor appears as intended, and I can set it to any color I want, but when I AirDrop the pass to my iPhone, it sets the color to white, regardless of what I set the foregroundColor to.
This means the text becomes completely illegible for my users, with white text on a white background image. If I remove the background image, the foregroundColor works fine.
Is there a way to have a light-colored background image with dark text, or am I forced to have a dark-colored background image?
Here are the colors in my pass.json:
backgroundColor: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
foregroundColor: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
labelColor: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
I've attached what the pass looks like on my Mac and my iPhone.
My application is from a bank that provides payment passes, and when I try to retrieve passes already enrolled in the wallet, it always returns empty. Is there something I need to configure for it to work? This is what I've tried, and it hasn't worked:
let pkPassLibrary = PKPassLibrary()
let paymentPasses =
pkPassLibrary.passes(of:.payment)
let pkPassLibrary = PKPassLibrary()
let paymentPasses: [PKSecureElementPass]=pkPassLibrary
.passes(of: .secureElement)
.compactMap { $0 as? PKSecureElementPass }

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?
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.
We have Wallet and Watch application on iPhone.
Both of them can add card and then waiting for activation.
However, When the same card is added to Wallet and Watch respectively, waiting for the app-to-app mode to be activated.
Client doesn't aware the source application.
Because deeplink is exactly the same.
Any adivse how does the client have to choose which card to activate?
Good day)
Colleagues, please tell me how can I change the notification on the locked screen "pass changed" in PKPASS when changing several fields?
Thank you very much for your answer

For our project we publish and endpoint to update a PKPass from wallet. It works fine.
We are facing a problem with expired passes, due to the Automatic Updates configuration in each device our server received a lot request included those from expired passes. I cannot find any configuration inside the pass to avoid this request to my server.
We are observing multiple different deviceId values linked to the same user within short timeframes. In some instances, a new deviceId appears every few minutes or hours. We utilize this identifier for managing Apple Wallet pass updates.
We would appreciate understanding which scenarios might cause the deviceId to change. Could it be influenced by:
Device restoration or factory reset procedures
App reinstallation or data clearing
iOS version updates
iCloud account changes or Apple ID authentication status changes
Privacy feature activation (such as App Tracking Transparency or Private Relay)
Testing environment usage (simulators or automated testing frameworks)
We aim to determine whether this behavior is expected or if it suggests atypical usage patterns.
Thank you for your assistance!
Hello,
We’re developing a loyalty program using Apple Wallet passes, and everything works except the silent push update flow.
Context
PassTypeIdentifier: pass.order.com.lealtad.xxxx
Device is physical (not simulator)
Pass is installed and visible in Wallet
Correct pushToken is stored in our backend
Push response from APNs:
StatusCode: 200 OK
apns-id: DBFF9693-D053-AA20-D737-3B24414105F3
WebServiceURL is reachable: https://xxxxx.net
GET /passes/{passTypeIdentifier}/{serialNumber} endpoint is implemented and logs all calls
No call is received from Apple to GET /passes/... after the push
.pkpass is signed and installs correctly
push payload
json
Copiar
Editar
{
"aps": {
"content-available": 1
},
"serialNumbers": ["9a4c9376d4"],
"updated": true
}
pass.json

Copiar
Editar
{
"formatVersion": 1,
"passTypeIdentifier": "pass.order.com.lealtad.xxxxx",
"teamIdentifier": "xxxxxxxx",
"serialNumber": "9a4c9376d4xxxxxx",
"webServiceURL": "https://xxxxxx.net",
"authenticationToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
...
}
We have verified:
Pass is installed and contains the correct authentication token.
Pass registration via POST /devices/... happens and is logged.
Push notifications are sent successfully and received (APNs 200 OK).
Our endpoint GET /passes/... responds properly with Authorization: Bearer {{token}}.
Certificate used to send the push is the same type as the one used to sign the .pkpass.
What could cause Apple Wallet to ignore the push?
We would appreciate guidance on what might be preventing Wallet from calling the webServiceURL after a valid push. Is there a way to trace why Apple is not triggering the request?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
José Ruiz
When downloading a .zip file with a pass package, when trying to open a file it only appears as a file but is not added to the wallt.
I've been using Apple's push service for pass notifications for years (since 2012) and everything has been working fine until recently. With no code changes, the push service has stopped working.
Passes can still be installed on the device and pull to refresh does get the updates and highlights changes properly, so the pass signing is working properly, it's just the push notices don't seem to be getting to the device. I am getting log messages back from the APNS, and fwrite is returning the number of bytes written so I don't think there are any authentication issues. I'm using PHP on my own web server in case that's relevant. I also disabled rate limiting in the developer settings on my device to make sure that isn't the issue. I've also verified there are no outstanding messages in the feedback service (which also works fine without any errors). In fact, there are no errors and acting like everything is working which is why it is frustrating to troubleshoot since the problem seems to be between Apple and the device.
I don't know if this may be related, but I know I saw this post from apple about a certificate change: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=09za8wzy
I have checked that the server has the new certificate per the instructions in this post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/772665
Still no push updates work, however the Lock Screen location messages do appear and pass update notifications do appear on the Lock Screen correctly but only after pulling to refresh on the back of the pass.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or even start troubleshooting why the pushes aren't being delivered to the phone?
Despite signing out of my sandbox Apple ID and disabling Developer Mode, my Wallet still appears to be in sandbox mode, and I’m unable to add any real payment cards.
I have already tried the following steps:
Signed out of all sandbox and developer accounts
Turned off Developer Mode
Restarted the device
Reset all settings
Updated to the latest iOS version
Removed any configuration profiles
Unfortunately, none of these actions helped. The Wallet interface still displays “sandbox” and rejects real cards.

We are working on digital key style application using custom communication with HCE (Host Card Emulation). We have a working solution but there is one issue - if our application is not selected as default NFC application our users may see Wallet popup when there's no active presentment intent in our application. I didn't find in documentation any information how to stop Wallet from activating. I found there's requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression method in PassKit, it requires special permission, however I am not sure if it can be used in this situation, as there's no information how it will impact HCE communication in our application.
I'll be greatful for any advice.

Hello,
We watched the WWDC25 presentation about Apple Wallet on the upgrade boarding pass features with Live Activities. We’re interested in integrating this into our app for iOS 26 beta testing.
Could you please provide:
Sample code or example projects
API documentation
Implementation guidelines
Details on sharing functionality
Thanks in advance!
