We have same problem. Never used Passbook, or needed it, but we used 3rd party module that had some reference to Passbook and now we can't transfer. We have had this app for more then 5 years, working and developing it and now when we want transfer, Apple support says that the only way is to upload a new app. Very, very frustrating.
