suppressing express mode when using widget
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.

Apple Pay appears in Stripe Payment Sheet but closes immediately when attempting payment (React Native iOS)
Hi everyone, I’m encountering a strange issue with Apple Pay in our React Native iOS app using the Stripe React Native SDK. Summary of the Problem: • Apple Pay shows up as an available payment method inside the Stripe Payment Sheet. • When I tap Apple Pay, the Apple Pay sheet opens normally. • After confirming payment, the Apple Pay sheet immediately closes, and nothing happens. • No payment is created and no request reaches Stripe’s servers. On Stripe Dashboard the PaymentIntent remains incomplete, with no errors, which means the failure happens before Stripe receives anything. Environment • React Native with @stripe/stripe-react-native • StripeProvider configured with: <StripeProvider publishableKey={...} merchantIdentifier="merchant.com.app.venga" stripeAccountId={...} urlScheme="venga" > Apple Pay works on our web checkout with the same merchant identifier. We have verified all of the required Apple Pay setup: • Merchant ID exists, active, and matches exactly. • Merchant ID added to the iOS app target in Xcode → Signing & Capabilities. • Apple Pay capability enabled. • Merchant domain is verified (web checkout works). • Apple Pay certificate and merchant certificate are valid. • Stripe publishable key and merchantIdentifier are correct. • Stripe SDK correctly initialized. • Device region supports Apple Pay. Extra Observations: • The PaymentIntent’s allowed_payment_methods includes "card" and Apple Pay does appear in the payment sheet. • But after tapping Pay → the Apple Pay sheet closes instantly. • There is no callback with an error, and nothing appears in Stripe logs. • We are testing in Sweden. As far as I know Apple Pay should work fine here. Questions: What could cause the Apple Pay sheet to dismiss instantly after attempting a payment? Could this be caused by a merchant ID mismatch—even if Apple Pay appears in the sheet? Is there any Apple-device-level requirement (region, wallet config, card type) that could cause this silent failure? Is there a way to get more detailed logs when Apple Pay closes before Stripe receives anything? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Unable to enable Apple Pay for App Clip – “relationship 'undefined'” error when adding capability
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has run into this before. I have a fully functional App Clip (com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip) linked to my main app (com.didyoucatchit.app). The Clip builds and runs perfectly, but I’m seeing issues trying to enable Apple Pay for it. When I try to link my Merchant ID under the “On Demand Install Capable” capability in the Apple Developer portal, I get this error: A relationship in the provided entity is not allowed for this request. The relationship 'undefined' can not be included in a 'bundleIdCapabilities' request. Here’s what I have already configured and confirmed: App Clip capabilities in Xcode include: Apple Pay Payment Processing Associated Domains (appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com) Provisioning profile includes: Apple Pay Payment Processing Associated Domains In-App Purchase On-Demand Install Capable Entitlements file for the Clip: <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.in-app-payments</key> <array> <string>merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers</key> <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.didyoucatchit.app</string> </array> Merchant ID (merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app) is active and connected to Stripe Stripe Apple Pay configuration matches the same merchant ID and certificate Both provisioning profiles have been refreshed and downloaded However: The portal still throws the “relationship 'undefined'” error anytime I try to modify the Clip’s capabilities In testing, Apple Pay doesn’t show up as a payment option in the Clip (using Stripe’s Payment Element integration) Questions: Is this a known issue with the Developer portal when linking App Clips to merchant IDs? Is there a specific way to re-establish the parent–child relationship between the main app and the App Clip so the bundleIdCapabilities request includes the proper relationship JSON? Are there any additional configuration steps required when using Stripe for Apple Pay inside an App Clip? System Setup: Xcode: 16.2 (build 16C5032a) macOS: Sequoia 15.3.1 iOS: 18.5 (testing on physical device) Merchant ID: merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app Main App ID: com.didyoucatchit.app App Clip ID: com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip Any help or insight would be hugely appreciated Thanks in advance!

Apple Pay on the Web for Insurance Renewals
Our company sells insurance and we'd like to offer annual renewals via Apple Pay on the Web. Most of the docs seem to point towards using recurringpaymentrequest but this method required an amount value which would only be calculated at renewal time. It appears that Shopify is doing something akin to what we want where they do auto payments so my question is can we do annual payments with unknown renewal prices with Apple Pay for Web ? What we cannot do is show the renewal price like this as it being insurance is almost certain to change. This is our current code which works but won't get past the regulator. const applePayPaymentRequestAnnual = { countryCode: 'GB', currencyCode: 'GBP', supportedNetworks: ['visa', 'masterCard'], merchantCapabilities: ['supports3DS'], requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress', 'email'], requiredShippingContactFields: ['phone'], recurringPaymentRequest: { paymentDescription: 'Annual Insurance Renewal', regularBilling: { label: 'Annual Renewal Premium', amount: price, paymentTiming: "recurring", recurringPaymentIntervalUnit: "year", recurringPaymentStartDate: year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "T00:00:00.000Z", type: 'final' }, managementURL: window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/manage-policy', tokenNotificationURL: window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/apple-pay-notifications' }, lineItems: [{ label: alabel, amount: price, }], total: { label: alabel, amount: price, type: "final" }, }

NFC Certificate Request for Apple Wallet Pass Rejected – Need Assistance for EV Charging Station Use Case.
Hello Apple Developer Team/Community, I am working on developing an Apple Wallet pass with NFC functionality for our electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The goal is to enable a "tap-to-start charging" feature, providing a seamless and efficient experience for users. However, my request for an NFC certificate to enable this functionality has been rejected. Here is a summary of my use case and actions taken so far: 1. Use Case: The Wallet pass will allow users to initiate charging sessions by tapping their iPhones or Apple Watches on the EV charger. This feature aims to simplify the process by eliminating the need for additional apps, physical cards, or manual inputs. It enhances accessibility and aligns with Apple’s goals of providing users with secure and convenient solutions. 2. Steps Taken: Submitted the NFC certificate request with a detailed explanation of the functionality. Included diagrams and supporting documents demonstrating the workflow and system readiness. Received a rejection without clear guidance on how to address the issue. 3. Technical Readiness: Our backend is fully prepared to support NFC passes, including secure processing of tap events and payload encryption. The Wallet pass has been configured to include the nfc field with the required encryptionPublicKey. Request for Assistance: Could you provide guidance on improving my application to meet Apple’s criteria for NFC certificates? Are there specific requirements or examples of successful NFC-enabled Wallet pass applications that I can use as a reference? If anyone has faced a similar rejection, what steps did you take to get approval? Additional Information: Use case: EV charging stations NFC functionality: Tap-to-start charging session Current implementation: Pass is functional without NFC but requires NFC for seamless operation. Any advice or resources to help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, DeveloperSquillion

Decrypting Apple Token
I am currently working on decrypting Apple Pay tokens with Laravel PHP, and I have encountered a few uncertainties regarding the decryption process and the usage of AES-GCM. Could you please clarify the following points: Algorithm Confirmation: Am I using the correct algorithm for decrypting the data key? Specifically, I am utilizing AES-256-GCM with the algorithm ID "id-aes256-GCM" (2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.46), as specified in the documentation. Is this the recommended algorithm for decrypting the Apple Pay token's data key? Authentication Tag: In the decryption process, it seems that an authentication tag is required, but I am not sure where to obtain it from. Could you confirm how the authentication tag is generated or provided during the encryption process? If the tag is part of the token or is transmitted separately, could you clarify where I can retrieve it in order to proceed with the decryption successfully? IV and Other Parameters: I am using an initialization vector (IV) of 16 null bytes (00000000000000000000000000000000) as specified in the documentation. Could you confirm that this is correct and aligns with the expected parameters for the AES-GCM decryption? Are there any other specific parameters or considerations I should be aware of when implementing the decryption of Apple Pay tokens? GCM vs Other Encryption Modes: Can you confirm that AES-GCM is the preferred and required encryption mode, or is there any flexibility to use other modes (e.g., AES-CBC) without compromising security? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated to ensure I am following the correct decryption procedure for Apple Pay tokens. Thank you in advance for your support.

Assistance with Adding Subdomain to Apple Sandbox Domain List
Hi team, I'm currently trying to add a specific subdomain (with a path) to Apple's Sandbox domain list, but it seems Apple only allows the main domain to be entered. Due to strict client security policies, we aren't allowed to use just the main domain, which is creating a roadblock in our implementation. Is there any way to add a full subdomain or URL path to the Sandbox configuration? I'm happy to join a call to explain the scenario further if that would help. Thanks in advance for your support!

Issue with the ApplePay SSL server certificate
Hi support, Since June 26th 2025 we are experiencing an issue with the ApplePay SSL server certificate installed on our servers in Production environment. We are facing an exception error during the initializing of a payment session while calling the url: https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession The exception is Untrusted Server Certificate Chain: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Untrusted Server Certificate Chain       at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)       at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1915)       at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:306)       at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:300)       at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate(ClientHandshaker.java:1577)       at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.processMessage(ClientHandshaker.java:213)       at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.processLoop(Handshaker.java:1010)       at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.process_record(Handshaker.java:946)       at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1034)       at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1343)       at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1370)       at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1354) It seems that the issue occurs randomly: we are experiencing this exception on most of our payment transactions, but there are some cases of users that have correctly paid on our site using this method and in those cases this error did not appear. We installed the new certificate on our servers on July 3rd 2025 and renewed on Aug 7th 2025. The new certificate validity is: Not Before: Aug 6 18:43:52 2025 GMT Not After : Nov 4 18:08:57 2025 GMT I must specify that this issue is blocking the correct placement of AppleyPay orders of our customers. Can you please help us find the problem and a possible solution?

Apple Pay Is Not Available in "
We are encountering an issue where Apple Pay shows an unexpected popup with a message and an "OK" button when confirming a payment (after double-tapping the power button). This issue began appearing last week without any changes to the codebase or configurations. Steps to Reproduce: Open the app and initiate an Apple Pay payment. Add a valid card if not already present. Confirm the payment using the side button (double-tap). Instead of completing the transaction, a popup appears with a generic message and an "OK" button. Expected Behavior: Apple Pay should process the payment and provide a confirmation or error based on the transaction status. Actual Behavior: A popup appears with a generic title and an “OK” button. The transaction is not processed. Environment Details: Platform: iOS Apple Pay integration has been functioning correctly for years No recent updates to Apple Pay-related code or configuration Configurations Checked: App Identifier is correctly set with the bundle ID Apple Pay Payment Processing is enabled in the App ID configuration Correct Merchant ID is selected and matches in Xcode capabilities *.entitlements file contains correct Apple Pay entitlement Payment Processing Certificates are valid and in place Additional Notes: The issue appeared suddenly without any modifications to the app. We suspect it may be due to external changes (e.g., Apple system update or merchant validation issue). Please advise on any further steps we can take to diagnose or resolve this issue.

Apple Pay fractional amounts for RSD
Hello all, I’m helping a customer integrate Apple Pay, and I’m seeing a behavior I can’t fully explain. I hope someone here can help clarify whether this is expected or whether it’s a bug / misconfiguration on my side. Currency: RSD (Serbian Dinar) Amount: 3.45 RSD (two decimals) Result: Apple Pay cancels the payment automatically when the amount includes decimals, without even displaying the paymentsheet. Things I have checked: ISO 4217 defines RSD with 2 minor units, so fractional amounts like 3.45 should be valid. Processors treat RSD as a two-decimal currency. Apple’s documentation does not provide a per-currency decimal rule table. In testing, whole-number RSD amounts succeed, while fractional amounts (e.g. 3.45 RSD) fail. I did not encounter this problem with other currencies like EUR, USD. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
