Collect all your Passbook / Apple Wallet (.pkpass files) tickets & coupons, from flight boarding passes to coffee shop loyalty cards in one easy to use application.

Just create a link

https://passwallet.page.link/?apn=com.attidomobile.passwallet&link=$HTTP_URL_ENCODED_LINK_TO_PASS_HERE

and send it via email or other messengers, for example:

https://passwallet.page.link/?apn=com.attidomobile.passwallet&link=http://passwallet.net/demopass/AttidoMobile.pkpass

The link param must be a well-formatted URL, be properly URL-encoded, use either HTTP or HTTPS.

The following link will launch PassWallet Android app if installed, or launch Google Play if not. The pass will be imported automatically into the app after launch.

The following code will launch PassWallet from an Android app if installed, or launch Google Play if not. The “referrer” will be the URL of the pass you’re trying to install and will be automatically imported on the device when PassWallet is first run.

private static boolean launchPassWallet(Context applicationContext, Uri uri, boolean launchGooglePlay) {
    if (null != applicationContext) {
        PackageManager packageManager = applicationContext.getPackageManager();
        if (null != packageManager) {
            final String strPackageName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet";
            Intent startIntent = new Intent();
            startIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            Intent passWalletLaunchIntent = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(strPackageName);
            if (null == passWalletLaunchIntent) {
                // PassWallet isn't installed, open Google Play:
                if (launchGooglePlay) {
                    String strReferrer = "";
                    try {
                        final String strEncodedURL = URLEncoder.encode(uri.toString(), "UTF-8");
                        strReferrer = "&referrer=" + strEncodedURL;
                    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        strReferrer = "";
                    }
                    try {
                        startIntent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + strPackageName + strReferrer));
                        applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
                    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
                        // Google Play not installed, open via website
                        startIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + strPackageName + strReferrer));
                        applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
                    }
                }
            } else {
                final String strClassName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet.ui.main.MainActivity";
                startIntent.setClassName(strPackageName, strClassName);
                startIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
                startIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.apple.pkpass");
                applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

And an example call is:

launchPassWallet(getApplicationContext(), Uri.parse("http://passwallet.net/demopass/AttidoMobile.pkpass"), true);

private fun launchPassWallet(applicationContext: Context?, uri: Uri, launchGooglePlay: Boolean): Boolean {
    if (null != applicationContext) {
        val packageManager = applicationContext.packageManager
        if (null != packageManager) {
            val strPackageName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet"
            val startIntent = Intent()
            startIntent.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
            startIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_VIEW
            val passWalletLaunchIntent = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(strPackageName)
            if (null == passWalletLaunchIntent) {
                // PassWallet isn't installed, open Google Play:
                if (launchGooglePlay) {
                    val strReferrer = try {
                        val strEncodedURL = URLEncoder.encode(uri.toString(), "UTF-8")
                        "&referrer=$strEncodedURL"
                    } catch (e: UnsupportedEncodingException) {
                        e.printStackTrace()
                        ""
                    }

                    try {
                        startIntent.data = Uri.parse("market://details?id=$strPackageName$strReferrer")
                        applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent)
                    } catch (anfe: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException) {
                        // Google Play not installed, open via website
                        startIntent.data = Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$strPackageName$strReferrer")
                        applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent)
                    }
                }
            } else {
                val strClassName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet.ui.main.MainActivity"
                startIntent.setClassName(strPackageName, strClassName)
                startIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE)
                startIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.apple.pkpass")
                applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent)
                return true
            }
        }
    }
    return false
}

In addition to the web service detailed in the Apple document Passbook Web Service Reference, we require an additional endpoint for registering PassWallet devices. This has been kept similar to the standard Apple registration endpoint in order to reduce the work required, but is created as a new endpoint so as to not cause potential issues with services that do not support PassWallet’s update method. Registration is performed via a POST request to:

webServiceURL/version/devices/deviceLibraryIdentifier/registrations_attido/passTypeIdentifier/serialNumber

• webServiceURL - The URL to your web service, as specified in the pass.
• version - The protocol version. Currently, v1.
• deviceLibraryIdentifier - A unique identifier that is used to identify and authenticate this device in future requests.
• passTypeIdentifier - The pass’s type, as specified in the pass.
• serialNumber - The pass’s serial number, as specified in the pass.

The Authorization header is supplied; its value is the word “AttidoPass”, followed by a space, followed by the pass’s authorization token as specified in the pass.

The POST payload is a JSON dictionary, containing two key and value pairs:

• pushToken - The pushtoken that the server can use to send push notifications to this device.
• pushServiceUrl - The URL of PassWallet’s web service for posting update notifications to devices.

• If the serial number is already registered for this device, return HTTP status 200.
• If registration succeeds, return HTTP status 201.
• If the request is not authorized, return HTTP status 401.
• Otherwise, return the appropriate standard HTTP status.

• The URL of PassWallet’s server should be stored on a per registration basis, and used when an update to the pass occurs.

In order to notify the device that an update for a pass is available the pass provider should POST a request to:

pushServiceURL/version/pushUpdate

• pushServiceUrl - The URL of PassWallet’s web service, as specified in the registration.

The POST payload is a JSON dictionary, containing two key and value pairs:

• passTypeID - The type of the pass that has an update available.
• pushToken - The pushtoken that the server can use to send push notifications to this device.

• If the push notification succeeds, returns HTTP status 200.
• If the push notification fails returns 400, and the response body contains details of the error.

To post the following JSON:

{
  "passTypeID":"pass.attidomobile.test",
  "pushToken":"cbc8f59160b949199b40ffe21cd2253ef893e4b244944b76ba31b8eaa5f09e69"
}

We’d use this cUrl command:

curl --data "{\"passTypeID\":\"pass.attidomobile.test\",\"pushToken\":\"cbc8f59160b949199b40ffe21cd2253ef8 93e4b244944b76ba31b8eaa5f09e69\"}" http://push.passwallet.net/v1/pushUpdate

And get this response:

{
  "status":"OK"
}

In order to notify multiple devices that an update for a pass is available the pass provider should POST a request to:

pushServiceURL/version/pushUpdates

• pushServiceUrl - The URL of Attido’s web service, as specified in the registration.
• version - The protocol version. Currently, v1.

The POST payload is a JSON dictionary, containing two key and value pairs:

• passTypeID - The type of the pass that has an update available.
• pushTokens – An array of pushtokens that the server can use to send push notifications to the devices.

• If the push notification succeeds, returns HTTP status 200.
• If the push notification fails returns 400, and the response body contains details of the error.

To post the following JSON:

{
  "passTypeID":"pass.attidomobile.test",
  "pushTokens":[
    "cbc8f59160b949199b40ffe21cd2253ef893e4b244944b76ba31b8eaa5f09e69",
    "a2ee9981afd84d77aa1a2bcf93df49c27d5df254c139458bdace96f7fd50088a",
    "b8129fb4ebf5423b985075b62f9322a8d67bdec69d3c441bd871f12ede46c93c"
  ]
}

We’d use this cUrl command:

curl --data "{\"passTypeID\":\"pass.attidomobile.test\",\"pushTokens\":[\"cbc8f59160b949199b40ffe21cd2253e f893e4b244944b76ba31b8eaa5f09e69\",\"a2ee9981afd84d77aa1a2bcf93df49c27d5df254c139458bdace96f7f d50088a\",\"b8129fb4ebf5423b985075b62f9322a8d67bdec69d3c441bd871f12ede46c93c\"]}" http://push.passwallet.net/v1/pushUpdates

And get this response:

{
  "status":"OK"
}
