Hello,
I am trying to create a .pkpasses bundle by following the documentation at the bottom of this page.
However, after downloading the file on my test iPhone, it does not give me the option to open or add the passes from the bundle. The file is just downloaded and treated as an unknown document in the Files app.
I am able to open the .pkpasses file on my computer and retrieve the .pkpass files contained inside of it, which download and add to Wallet normally so I am unsure if I am missing something or I am doing something wrong.
Edit: Also wanted to note that I am using an iPhone 7 Plus on iOS 14.7.1 to test this, and I am sending the "application/vnd.apple.pkpasses" MIME type when downloading the file.
Does anyone have experience with this, or any suggestions?
Thanks!
Sadly after much frustration and confusion I have found the answer to my own question.
The .pkpasses file type is only supported by iOS 15 and above.
The documentation linked above makes no mention of this at the time of posting, but after upgrading my test iPhone to the beta version of iOS 15 I am able to successfully add my .pkpasses file to Wallet.
Hopefully this saves someone else from going through the difficulty of finding an answer to this question.
