Create Wallet identifiers and certificates

Wallet presents digital representations of information called passes — such as coupons, tickets for a show, or boarding passes — that allow users to redeem real-world products or services. You can use Wallet in several ways:

Option 1: Request, distribute, and update passes

First register a pass type identifier to identify your app. Then create a Pass Type ID certificate and associate it with the pass type identifier.

Option 2: Access the user’s passes in your app

Register a pass type identifier, and in Xcode, configure Wallet to access user passes.

Required role: Account Holder or Admin.

  1. In Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, click Identifiers in the sidebar.

  2. Click the add button (+) on the top left.

  3. Select Pass Type IDs from the list.

  4. Enter a description and identifier, then click Continue.

  5. Review the settings, then click Register.
