🍎 Apple docs

From now on, some stuff is much better explained on the Apple docs, so when in doubt just check (if you haven't done so) the following documents:

📝 Configuration

To start using the lib, some Apple files are needed, as well as some action in order to convert them to more friendly formats:

  • Get Pass Type ID

    • Go to the Apple Developer page ➵ Identifiers ➵ Pass Type IDs.
    • Next, you need to create a pass type ID. This is similar to the bundle ID for apps. It will uniquely identify a specific kind of pass. It should be of the form of a reverse-domain name style string (i.e., pass.com.example.appname).

  • Generate the necessary certificate

    • After creating the pass type ID, click on Edit and follow the instructions to create a new Certificate.

    • Once the process is finished, the pass certificate can be downloaded. That's not it though, the certificate is downloaded as .cer file, which need to be converted to .p12 in order to work. If you are using a Mac you can import it into Keychain Access and export it as .p12from there.

    • if now you have certificate.p12 file follow the steps below to convert it to certifictate.pem

      $ openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -clcerts -nokeys -out certificate.pem

  • Generate the key.pem

    >$ openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -nocerts -out private.key

    Note: While generating this private.key file you will be asked for a PEM pass phrase which will be used as the CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD attribute throughout the Package.

  • Getting WWDR Certificate

    • If you have made iOS development, you probably have already the Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Intermediate Certificate in your Mac’s keychain.
    • If not, it can be downloaded from the Apple Website (on .cer format). This one needs to be exported as .pem, It can be exported from KeyChain into a .pem (e.g. wwdr.pem).

🚀 Usage

from applepassgenerator import ApplePassGeneratorClient
from applepassgenerator.models import EventTicket

card_info = EventTicket()
card_info.add_primary_field('name', 'Tony Stark', 'Name')
card_info.add_secondary_field('loc', 'USA', 'Country')

team_identifier = "1234ABCDEF"
pass_type_identifier = "pass.com.project.example"
organization_name = "Primedigital Global"

applepassgenerator_client = ApplePassGeneratorClient(team_identifier, pass_type_identifier, organization_name)
apple_pass = applepassgenerator_client.get_pass(card_info)

# Add logo/icon/strip image to file
apple_pass.add_file("logo.png", open("<path>/logo.png", "rb"))
apple_pass.add_file("icon.png", open("<path>/icon.png", "rb"))

CERTIFICATE_PATH = "<path-to-file>/certificate.pem"
PASSWORD_KEY = "<path-to-file>/password.key"
WWDR_CERTIFICATE_PATH = "<path-to-file>/wwdr.pem"
CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD = "<password>"
OUTPUT_PASS_NAME = "mypass.pkpass"

apple_pass.create(CERTIFICATE_PATH, PASSWORD_KEY, WWDR_CERTIFICATE_PATH, CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD, OUTPUT_PASS_NAME)

Code of Conduct

In order to foster a kind, inclusive, and harassment-free community, we have a code of conduct, which can be found here. We ask you to treat everyone as a smart human programmer that shares an interest in Python and Apple Pass Generator with you.
