3 years ago @Hen-Rex i know; but maybe a Mark in the Backlog would be Great so that the feature can be used as soon as released by Google. Alternatively a simple .pkpass-File should also Work for this Usecase :-)

No, because Google Pay doesn't support .pkpass

3 years ago You're right, but there is the Passes API: https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/guides/pass-verticals/use-cases?vertical=covid-cards#pass-vertical and of course the simplest way to provide the .pkpass-File - this would then work on similar Apps like WalletPasses - or maybe Apps like Samsung-Pay?
I experienced for example at Blue Cinemas (Swisscom) and also at Europa Park (MackInternational GmbH und Co. KG) that these provide simple pkpass-Files for Android-Users too.

It seems like it has reached europe now, as spain has implemented it

There are 3rd party apps, that can act as a pkpass wallet on android and there also is pass2pay so you can add pkpass files to gpay, but none of them work 100% like the passes api itself

2 years ago @DRSchlaubi thats true, but Google Released a new API at I/O this month. Using a Validated Organization-Account (the Bund should have enough Money to get a Developers License for 25$...) you can simply create a WHO-Vaccine-Pass.
There are also simple Webapps which are able to create Passes: https://coronapass.fabianpimminger.com/
As Google wants to transform its Pay-App back to the Wallet, there may be also minor support for pkpass-Files or a abstracted standard.
TbH the Pass-App by CH-Gov is the worst App i've ever seen.

It's true that they can afford that, but they don't want to support Google Pay

All of these websites don't support GPay except for an Austrialian one iirc, which doesn't support EU certs
As Google wants to transform its Pay-App back to the Wallet, there may be also minor support for pkpass-Files or a abstracted standard.
There is a new API which doesn't require the certs being stored on Google Servers, but you still need to be a verified Pay business to use it and only officials can verify as a business with access to the covid certificates
Google Pay provides the possibility to use the COVID-Certificate inside the App. Is there any plan fo this integration (maybe automatically)?
See: https://support.google.com/pay/answer/10890261
Maybe this would also be an approach to do so on Apple Pay / Wallet-App? By using integrated Shortcuts like Buttons or Direct-Payment-Features the Code could be opened easier and faster.
