Hi,
You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of In-App Provisioning 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.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your client, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.

iOS 16 and earlier
On iOS 16 and earlier, Apple Pay on the Web required Safari—and all interactions with the Apple Pay API to come from the parent/top level page. In order to facilitate the Apple Pay button in an HTML inline frame (iframe), there will need to be cross frame communication between the child and parent pages. Cross frame communication should be secure and robust, therefore the use of postMessage for this purpose is recommended.
The expectation is for all communication with Apple Pay to occur from the parent page, so the iframe must relay all Apple Pay related events to the parent to handle. Some examples:
Apple Pay availability: The parent calls applePayCapabilities, then sends the message of the response to the iframe, which then uses the value to toggle the visibility of the Apple Pay button.
Apple Pay session: The iframe receives an onclick() event when the Apple Pay button is clicked and sends the message to the parent (providing details about the transaction). The parent create the payment request to obtain the session validation URL, and eventually receive session credentials and invokes completeMerchantValidation() to prevent the payment sheet. After the payment is authorized by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), the parent either:
Redirects the parent page to a payment success page; or
Sends a message to the iframe to complete the transaction flow itself.
iOS 17 and later
On IOS 17 and later, the iframe HTML element should include the allow="payment" attribute, which should facilitate the cross frame communications instead of needing a dedicated JavaScript library. This means all of the Apple Pay code/calls can reside in the iframe page—which is typically a hosted page from a Payment Service Provider (PSP), all the parent page—typically a merchant—has to do is add the attribute mentioned above to the iframe element.
Important: Regardless of the iOS version, the PSP/merchant always needs to make sure the parent page domain is the one registered in the Developer portal, and used in the request to generate a merchant session via ApplePaySession.

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.
Hello,
We are implementing Apple Wallet extensions (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler). While our UI extension works as expected, our Non-UI extension is unable to detect payment passes provisioned by our app.
Specifically, PKPassLibrary().passes(of: .secureElement) returns an empty array when called from the Non-UI extension, even though the same call correctly returns the passes when executed from the Main iOS App.
Our Payment Network Operator has confirmed that our extension bundle identifiers are correctly registered in the metadata on their side. They suggested that the Wallet Extensions entitlement (com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning) may require additional backend enablement for these specific Extension App IDs.
Is there a known reason why PKPassLibrary would behave differently in the Non-UI extension vs the Main App?
Beyond the standard entitlement request, is there a specific process to "activate" these IDs for extension visibility?
Does anyone have guidance on reaching the appropriate team for backend entitlement activation issues?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
On Applepay's docs it talks about the ability to do "flexible" payments and scheduling for future purchases. We need to be able to make only a single approval of an Apple payment for multiple submissions later on. Think, deferred payments at an arbitrary schedule without presenting the ApplePay dialog each and every time.
The docs suggest that may be possible, but are maddeningly vague on how to do that. Is it possible or not? Can we store an approved merchant's token for example and leverage that for future transactions?

We are implementing in-app provisioning in our fintech app;
We are reaching out to ask for your help in understanding what is going wrong so we can fix it.
What happens:
User taps “Add to Apple Wallet” → we present PKAddPaymentPassViewController → they tap Next → after a few seconds the flow fails with "Set Up Later" alert.

we are currently using the requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression API in my app. to prevent the Wallet interface from appearing when an NFC/RF reader is detected during active app usage.
Recently, a new transit card supporting Express Mode (T-money Transit Card) was released in Korea, and we are seeing an increasing number of users enabling Express Mode.
However, this has introduced an issue where users are unable to use the BLE-based functionality we provide via our widget. Specifically, when the user taps our widget, it triggers a BLE signal broadcast for approximately 10 seconds. In this scenario, when the user brings their iPhone close to our reader, Express Mode is activated before the BLE interaction can be established. This prevents the BLE signal from being successfully received and processed.
We would like to ask:
Is it possible to suppress Express Mode behavior (similar to requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression) even when the app is launched via a widget interaction?
Alternatively, is there any way to delay or defer Express Mode activation temporarily when launching from a widget or during BLE communication?
We would appreciate any guidance or best practices you can share regarding this scenario.
Thank you.

We are an acquirer/payment provider offering Apple Pay. Our merchants use our hosted checkout to accept payments. After a user pays with Apple Pay on our checkout, the Wallet transaction record shows our checkout domain as the payee. We would like it to display the merchant’s brand/name so users can recognize or contact the merchant.
Is there any parameter or configuration that controls what Wallet shows as the payee? For example, can this be set via a specific field/parameter, or is it strictly derived from the Merchant ID’s display name (or other Apple Pay configuration)? What is the correct approach for a PSP/acquirer to have the merchant’s brand shown in Wallet transaction record?
Additional detail: The field in question is the merchant/payee name shown in the Apple Wallet receipt—directly under the transaction amount at the top of the receipt, and again beneath the “Total” line.
We are implementing Apple Pay on our website, but we only sell services and would prefer that the shipping address section of the Apple Pay modal doesn't require the shipping address and just show the billing address. Is there any way to achieve this?
please bear with me, i am NOT a developer. we have third party developer creating a banking app that is throwing an error when trying to provision MasterCard for Apple Pay. MasterCard says they do not see the request come in at all. our developer says the issue is between mastercard and apple - and asked us to reach out to Apple.
Information provided from our developer:
“Error code 2 is 'system cancelled' from the PKAddPaymentPassError enum. Basically, there is an issue between Apple and Mastercard (using the encrypted card info from...”
Response from Mastercard Connect:
Upon further research with the examples you shared we are not seeing any attempt that reached to MC

Anyone have faced this problem before?
Is MANUAL_ENTRY mandatory for Apple Pay or may an issuer block it and rely only on PKAddPaymentPass?
We plan to set Manual PAN Entry Allowed = N and accept only issuer push provisioning (PKAddPaymentPass).
Is there any Apple Pay programme rule that obliges us to keep MANUAL_ENTRY enabled?
Will disabling it affect “Participating Issuer” listing?

Hello!
We are using "Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API"
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepaywebmerchantregistrationapi
Recently we successfully updated the Payment/identity certificates at our main merchant ID
And we have a few questions:
Do we need make the Domain verification for all of our sub-merchants again after the Certificates update?
How we can check the expiration of domain verification of merchants that we integrate trough API endpoint (https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant), and do verified domains via API have an expiration date???
How we can understand does the our universal domain verification file (apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association) have expiration too?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding App Store approval. In my country, Apple In-App Purchases are not supported, so for users in unsupported regions we need to use a third-party payment provider. For countries where In-App Purchases are supported, we plan to use Apple IAP.
Could you please advise on the correct approach to ensure the app complies with App Store guidelines and can be approved?

Hi,
Somebody knows how to decode / decrypt emvData on Apple Pay e-commerce when paymentDataType=EMV?
Thanks.
Reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/payment-token-format-reference#Detailed-payment-data-keys-EMV
Cybersource production support has clarified issue as below
"On the BAD Case, it seems that the Apple Payload did not contain the "onlinePaymentCryptogram" object within the JSON. The Cryptogram is critical and mandatory.
Since the merchant cannot really control this, and since CYBS is just decrypting the payload and uses it, we cannot comment as to why it was missing.
The merchant would need to reach out to Apple and/or decrypt the payment themselves locally to check if and why this data was not present, for troubleshooting purposes."
We already have an apple pay integration with a psp.
We have a merchant id with an identity certificate, a processing certificate and merchant domains.
We are working to integrate an other psp. This psp have one csr (processing certificate) by customer. All the payment will be processed on the same domain.
We have understood that it is not possible to have different processing certificates for a merchant id. So we can not reused our existing merchant id.
On the other hand, it seems that it is not possible to have different merchant ids on the same domain (because of the domain verification). But all payments are processed on the same domain.
Do you think there is a solution ?
Is there a recommended workaround for this scenario?

We are integrating Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our banking application using an external SDK. The provisioning flow works on the iOS Simulator (mock sheet appears), but fails on real devices via TestFlight with the error:
internalInconsistency: "PKAddPaymentPassViewController can not be created"
Environment:
Xcode 16
iOS 18
Real device: iPhone (tested via TestFlight / Distribution build)
Card network: Mastercard
What we've verified:
com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning entitlement is set to YES in our .entitlements file
The entitlement is confirmed present in our Development provisioning profile via security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision | grep payment-pass → returns <true/>
PKAddPaymentPassViewController.canAddPaymentPass() returns true on the device
The card is NOT already in Apple Wallet (0 local/remote Secure Element passes)
All provisioning data is present and valid (encryptedPayload, authorizationCode, primaryAccountSuffix, cardholderName)
The external SDK is configured successfully at app launch
Diagnostic logs from TestFlight build:
canAddPaymentPass: true
Local SE passes: 0
Remote SE passes: 0
suffix: 6165
name: [redacted]

PKAddPaymentPassViewController cannot be created
Questions:
Can PKAddPaymentPassViewController fail to be created even when canAddPaymentPass() returns true? What other conditions could cause this?
Is there a way to verify that the Distribution provisioning profile correctly includes the payment-pass-provisioning entitlement after it has been approved by Apple?
Are there any additional Apple Pay entitlements or configurations (e.g., Wallet merchant setup, pass type identifiers) required beyond com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning for In-App Provisioning to work?
Does regenerating the Distribution provisioning profile on Apple Developer Portal resolve cases where entitlements were added after the profile was originally created?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
We are observing unexpected behavior in Apple Wallet for transactions processed via an online delivery platform. Here is the specific flow:
Initial Authorization: The original order was placed for $22.30.
Order Amendment: The user added an item 10 minutes later for $6.20, bringing the total to $28.50.
The Issue:
Apple Wallet only displays the $6.20 transaction. The initial $22.30 amount is not visible in the transaction list.
Technical Verification:
We confirmed that both backend authorization messages for the original amount and the add-on were approved.
We verified that the final settlement amounts correctly reflect the sum of both charges ($28.50).
We have confirmed the transaction lifecycle completed successfully on our end.
Despite this, the customer only sees the $6.20 entry in their Wallet history, which creates confusion as it doesn't reflect the total spent.
Has anyone encountered this sync issue between settlement totals and Wallet display, or is there a specific way we should be linking these related authorizations? Thanks!
