"Client is not entitled" Error (Code=4) with PKAddShareablePassConfiguration.forPassMetaData Despite Correct Entitlements
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 Profile qualification is using entitlement definitions that may be out of date.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.

Issue with Wallet Popup Despite Pass Presentation Suppression
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?

passes(of: .payment) always returns empty
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 }

Apple Wallet Pass setting foregroundColor to white automatically when background image is present
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.
