Authentication error when trying to install Pass from email

[avilevy]

Hi Tomas,

I am trying to use your code to generate a pass and subsequently mailing it to an iPhone (release version of IOS6). The pass is generated without a glitch and shows up in the mail attachment on the iPhone and opens correctly as a Pass. However when trying to 'add' it to Passbook, the console shows these errors.

Sep 21 21:26:24 iPhone-4S passd[219] : Sep 21 21:26:24 SecTrustEvaluate [leaf AnchorSHA1 AnchorTrusted SubjectOrganizationalUnit] Sep 21 21:26:24 iPhone-4S passd[219] : Invalid data error reading card pass.com.ticket.event/012345678910. The passTypeIdentifier or teamIdentifier provided may not match your certificate, or the certificate trust chain could not be verified.

I checked my thumbprint and installed the root, the dev relations and pass type certs in the personal certificate store on my developer machine (windows) after creating a pass type ID. Copied the thumbprint from the certificate store to web.config. Adjusted references to the pass type id.

Any ideas where this is going wrong? Tried to fix this for an entire day, no improvements....

Hi Avilevy,

as coincidence would have it, I've just spend the last hour updating my code.

I've corrected the signing logic so that it includes a reference to the Apple Certificate.

The second thing to note is that the Team Identifier must now match the value in the certificate. You can find this by looking in the provisioning portal, under your Passbook certificate. It's a random set of numbers and letters before your passTypeIdentifier.

Please get the latest code and give it another try.

[avilevy]

Tomas,

That solved it! Thank you for sharing your code.

[balexandre]

Hi Tomas and Avilevy,

I don't get the new sign code as you now have 2 different thumbprints (one in web.config and other in AppleCert), do we need to create 2 certificates? Where do we get the second? is just a second Apple Certificate, or it's a special one?

By the way, I have extended the code to support full flexibility in the pass.json and even added all pass examples as well a new Web UI, but I can't get pass this secondary certificate.

Thanks.

improved web UI

[tomasmcguinness]

Hi Bruno,

The 2nd Thumbprint represents Apple’s WWDR certificate. You can download it from here:

http://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/

Grab the “developer relations” one. Alternatively you can download it from the Provisioning Portal under the Certificates section.

This was a new requirement added with the GM of iOS Beta 6 and my code changes form the basis of the certificate chain.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you’re still stuck.

Tom

Hi Thomas,

Got it, thanks, but something weird is going on with my attempts. All the passes I create, when opened by iOS6 mail app, I can't add to Passbook, but using the iOS Simulator, they are added with no problems at all:

Do you know what might cause the problem?

[Bishbulb]

If you download the pass on a normal browser and unzip the package, are all of the images located in the same folder? I had an issue where my images were being put into a subfolder inside the .pkpass archive which caused a failure.

The other thing to check is whether you have an icon.png image included (apparently its mandatory, but I couldn't find documentation of that anywhere in the docs).

I'd suggest connecting the device to XCode and seeing the console? That might give you some pointers.

Was that issue of the nested folder issue within my code?

nothing there, and the passes are added normally into Passbook App if I use the Simulator :-/

No, it was with my implementation of DotNetZip, which I used since I am still using VS2012. Sorry for the confusion.

Have you tried opening the passes using the Lion mail app? In the latest update, 10.8.2, it’s possible for OS X to open the passes.

I’d suggest downloading the pass and opening it directly. OS X will log any problem it encounters - this will show you how to use the log - http://geekswithblogs.net/MobileLOB/archive/2012/07/24/debugging-passkit-install-on-ios-simulator.aspx

A thought has just occurred to me...could there be a case sensitivity issue in a file name or something? The Simulator might be more forgiving than the device.

Hi Tom,

I get nothing on the terminal as it does add correctly to Passbook App, but still not on the device.

You said something about the pass.json file, but I find nothing relevant, maybe a new pair of eyes could help, here is my JSON file output:

}

As I said, it adds well using the Simulator, so, not even a warning message is shown, that's why it's been hard to find out the problem :(

Because all of my code is based on your own, and using your base code works lovely, I'm about to re-start my project again, but this time, test every change in the pass.json (as I have add the ability to add our own primaryFields, secondaryFields, auxiliaryFields as well backFields.

Do you find anything out of ordinary in the code above?

Here is my store.pkpass as well the zip version: store.pkpass and store.zip if you want to dig deep.

Thank you.

[tomasmcguinness]

Hi, I've modified the API so it's possible to directly add the various fields using the PassGeneratorRequest object. Have you got the latest build?The pass looks okay, but I'll take a closer look this evening when I get home. Sorry you're having so many issues!

Good morning Bruno, I've downloaded the zip file you provided and renamed it to store.pkpass. I used a small OS X utility from Apple to verify it was signed correctly. I was able to open the pass in OS X and then use iCloud to send it to my iPhone, which opened it successfully. I then deleted the pass. I emailed the pass to myself and opened it successfully. As far as I can make out, the file you have created is perfect! Are you using the GM of iOS 6 and not an earlier beta?

Morning,

I'm using iPhone 4 with iOS 6 GM (last version prior to current public release - my phone) as well iPhone 4S with current public release of iOS6 (wife phone).

From both phones, I can open the card but when I press ADD to Passbook, it closes and the top bar (with the clock) flicks color and nothing more happen. If I open the Passbook App, card is not there :(

Well, if you say it works, I would continue, thing is that, if I use your own base code (latest on master branch), I can open and added normally witch is weird :(

---

I have sent you a pull request, as I have commented all variables, included a new way to handle images (either by the hole folder or/and one by one), added a missing property labelColor and fixed a small bug. I can see on your beta branch you already have locations and I would like to add the changeMessage (it's important if we use the Update part) and maybe later, support for associatedStoreIdentifiers. Let me know if you need more help... love to help!

[ghost]

Can anyone tell me how to add secondary & auxillary fields from the c# code?

[tomasmcguinness]

Sure, the PassGeneratorRequest class defines several List<> fields that you can add Fields too. In this case, use SecondaryFields and AuxiliaryFields. Alternatively, you can use the helper methods AddSecondaryField and AddAuxiliaryFields.

[ghost]

Any example possible in C#? Also I've this: request.ForegroundColor = "rgb(100,10,100)"; request.LabelColor = "rgb(100,10,100)";

But color doens't change.

[tomasmcguinness]

The Readme for this project contains examples of added those fields. The API is the same as the PrimaryField.

With regards to the colours, are you using the latest codebase?

If you're having a specific problem, I'd suggest opening an new issue as this one has already been closed.

[ghost]

Yeah. I am using latest code base.

Hi Tom, Any luck on the the color? Do you have item lists for EventTicket secondary & Auxillary files?

Thanks

[tomasmcguinness]

No luck with the colours. Are you using a background image by any chance? In my testing I've found that using a background image changes the field colours and ignores your own settings.

[ghost]

Right. I am using background image. Also, do you have item list of secondary & Auxiliary fields for event pass??
