PassKit Sample

This sample demonstrates how to build a PassKit Companion App to interact with passes you have issued in a users Passbook.

NOTE: This sample doen't work out of the box, you need to setup provisioning profile for you app and create certicicate for pass singing.

Instructions

• Create an AppId and enable Passbook
• Generate Provisioning Profile for your app
• Register new iOS Pass Type ID
• Generate Certificate for your just created iOS Pass Type ID via Edit > Create Certificate
• Download and install your certificate for pass

Now you need to fix some files:

• Entitlements.plist and Info.Plist – fix BundleIdentifier and PassTypeIdentifiers
• CouponBanana2.pass/pass.json – fix passTypeIdentifier and teamIdentifier

At this point you are ready to generate pass package. For sample we provide simpe util which create package for you. Go to terminal and run:

cd path/to/PassLibrary/sample
./signpass -p CouponBanana2.pass/ -c "Certificate_Common_Name"

You can find Certificate_Common_Name with Keychain Access app:

• Launch Keychain Access app
• Find certificate which you installed a few steps ago
• Select certificate > Right Click > Get Info
• Here you are able to see Common Name

At this point you should be able to find CouponBanana2.pkpass. Go to IDE, compile and run you app.
