Apple Pay: Renewal of Domains fails and get redirected to main page without errors
Hello, we are trying to extend the dates of verified domains following the docs of https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepayontheweb/maintaining-your-environment#Renew-Your-Domain-Verification and configured the server following https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ApplePayontheWeb/setting-up-your-server we've download the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt and update them on their respective locations, click 'ok' button and we get redirected to the main page of the merchant certificate, but the expiration dates have not been extended, we can see on our web crawler that Apple Requested the file and it return a 200. No popup errors are shown, no console developer error we only get redirected to the merchant certificate information page.

Apple Pay - PKAddPaymentPassViewController doesn't show correct list of devices
Hi, We are trying to make the PKAddPaymentPassViewController to show the correct list of devices to where the pass can be added. We have analysed the documentation and we are using the PrimaryAccountIdentifier field which is the field that supposedly controls this behavior but the list of devices presented in the view controller always include one iPhone and one Apple Watch, regardless of where the card has been already added. We are initializing the PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration object with: PKEncryptionScheme PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription PaymentNetwork PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription We have also verified the configuration in our payment pass processor and everything should be ok. We would like to have some help on achieving the desired flow for Apple Pay, which is to present the PKAddPaymentPassViewController with the correct list of available devices and not the full list. Thank you.

In-app provisioning for Apple Pay
We created apps for many credit unions in Canada. Some of those apps has the feature to directly add users' debit cards to Apple Wallet (which is called by Apple as "in-app provisioning"). The feature has been working fine for at least 6 years for many credit unions. Recently, after updating one of those existing apps, we found out that the in-app provisioning is no longer working. Found it very strange, as we didn't touch the code base related to this feature for a very long time. One thing we found out is that the option to add in-app provisioning entitlement is missing during generating "provisioning profile" for the app. Is this a misconfiguration by App? Or do we need to request for additional entitlement migration as mentioned in the page: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/reference/provisioning-with-managed-capabilities ? Apple, please help, it's rather urgent.

Generating ephemeralPublicKey for in-app provisioning
I am developing an app to add Discover cards to Apple Wallet. Unlike Visa, MasterCard, etc., Discover does not have APIs that return activationData, encryptedPassData and ephemeralPublicKey for a given card, so I have created a backend server to handle this. In my server, I am unsure how to generate the ephemeralPublicKey. Do I need to use the merchant certificate? If so, how do I use it to generate the ephemeralPublicKey? I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a step-by-step guide on how to generate ephemeralPublicKey for provisioning a card.

Apple Pay
We are an acquirer/payment provider offering Apple Pay. Our merchants use our hosted checkout to accept payments. After a user pays with Apple Pay on our checkout, the Wallet transaction record shows our checkout domain as the payee. We would like it to display the merchant’s brand/name so users can recognize or contact the merchant. Is there any parameter or configuration that controls what Wallet shows as the payee? For example, can this be set via a specific field/parameter, or is it strictly derived from the Merchant ID’s display name (or other Apple Pay configuration)? What is the correct approach for a PSP/acquirer to have the merchant’s brand shown in Wallet transaction record? Additional detail: The field in question is the merchant/payee name shown in the Apple Wallet receipt—directly under the transaction amount at the top of the receipt, and again beneath the “Total” line.

NotSupportedError, The payment method is not supported
What am I missing in my checking for whether or not to offer Apple Pay on my website? <script async crossorigin src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/v1.1.0/apple-pay-sdk.js" ></script> ... <style> apple-pay-button { display: none; } </style> ... <apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="plain" locale="en-US" onclick="startApplePay('${APPLE_PAY_MERCHANT_ID}','${paymentForm.amount}');"></apple-pay-button> So, the button is not displayed by default. I only change the style to displayed if: window.onload = function() { if (isApplePaySupported()) { document.querySelector("apple-pay-button").style.display = "inline-block"; }; } function isApplePaySupported() { return (window.PaymentRequest && window.ApplePaySession && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments() && ApplePaySession.supportsVersion(applePayVersion)); } Yet, once in a while a click comes through that tries to create a PaymentRequest with const applePayMethod = { "supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay", "data": { "version": applePayVersion, "merchantIdentifier": merchantIdentifier, "merchantCapabilities": [ "supports3DS" ], "supportedNetworks": [ "amex", "discover", "masterCard", "visa" ], "countryCode": "US" } }; and results in: NotSupportedError, The payment method is not supported What else might be "not supported" in the request for this particular user/device/wallet? In particular, that could be known immediately when the PaymentRequest is created, but before any payment instrument from the wallet is selected? And, is there anything I could detect before showing the button? Or, is it even possible for the button to be clicked by some kind of automation, even if it's not displayed?

Apple Pay on the Web Merchant Validation Intermittent 403 Forbidden
We are experiencing intermittent 403 Forbidden errors during Apple Pay on web merchant validation in our production and sandbox environment. Has anyone else started seeing 403 Forbidden errors recently (since mid-2025)? Why would merchant validation be sometimes successful and sometimes fail with 403? Could this be related to new Apple Pay gateway changes or stricter validation rules? Any additional debug steps or permanent solutions we should try? Thank you.

Apple Pay Wallet API Access – Applied a Year AGO and Almost No Progress! Anyone Else?
Hey everyone, I wanted to check if anyone else has faced extreme delays when requesting access to Apple Pay Wallet APIs. It was Oct 11 2024 a year ago since we first applied to enable in-app provisioning for virtual cards in our app and we made 1% progress. For context, we already got access from Google for Google Wallet—it was smooth, professional, and timely. But with Apple… it’s been nothing but an endless cycle of waiting. We followed every step, submitted everything correctly, and even called Apple Developer Support multiple times. Their response? "We've escalated it." Again and again. But there’s no real progress. We’re rerouted, ignored, and left in limbo. At this point, I don’t even know if anyone is actually reviewing these requests. If a business like ours—fully compliant and ready to integrate—can’t even get a response in 150 day, how is this process supposed to work? I’m posting this here because I can’t be the only one. Has anyone else faced this? If you finally got access, how did you do it? Because right now, it feels like Apple Pay in-app provisioning is an impossible goal. Hoping someone from Apple sees this and realizes how broken this process is. We’re just trying to innovate and offer Apple users a great experience—why is it so difficult? Looking forward to hearing from anyone in the community who can help, Thanks! 🙏

Unable to Complete In-App Provisioning – Error 40456 on enable Endpoint
Hello, I am developing an Apple Pay and In-App Provisioning integration for the bank where I work. All entitlements are properly configured, and we are integrated correctly with our Payment Network Operator (PNO). We are using PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate to handle the provisioning process. The flow progresses as expected up to the Terms and Conditions screen. However, after accepting the terms, the process fails with the message: "Could not add card." Upon checking the device logs using the Wallet profile configuration, I observed the following response from Apple's backend: Response: https://nc-pod10-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/041315032816900221610987313158566F368A9CEBA1291E/cards/745f792b9d0644e5a6e713d54f505296/enable 500 Time profile: 1.80458 seconds { x-conversation-id = "6ec59a63424f4035915e32f22ea645e4" Vary = "accept-language" Content-Type = "application/json" x-pod = "nc-pod10" x-keystone-correlationid = "E3DD5A5A-FD18-4500-8570-2BD1334E281C" Date = "Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:05:03 GMT" x-apay-service-response-details = "via_upstream" Content-Length = "49" x-envoy-upstream-service-time = "964" x-pod-region = "paymentpass.com.apple" } { errorCode = 40456; statusCode = 500; } This seems to indicate that the card enablement step is failing on the server side. Our internal systems have not logged any request failure from Apple at this step, which makes it difficult to pinpoint whether the issue is in the PNO integration, entitlement configuration, or something else. We are currently testing in a production environment on a physical device (not using sandbox), and provisioning flows are initiated through our iOS app using PKAddPaymentPassRequest. Could you please help us interpret error code 40456 and identify what steps we should take to resolve this issue? If needed, we can also provide the full device log and additional details. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards, Mansur Bagwan

How to use Extended Virtual Addressing and Increased Memory Limit services correctly?
During the development of our 3D game project, we encountered high memory usage requirements. To address this, we enabled Apple’s Extended Virtual Addressing (EVA) and Increased Memory Limit services. We have confirmed that both services were enabled in the developer backend as well as in Xcode, and we also used updated development and distribution certificates when building the app. However, in our validation process, it seems that EVA and Increased Memory Limit are not taking effect — the game still experiences memory overflow and crashes. Could you please advise: The correct steps to properly use Extended Virtual Addressing and Increased Memory Limit; How we can confirm whether these services are functioning as expected?

Apple Pay 3dSecure Version for Mastercard
We have finished integrating Apple Pay in our app and our payment processor is requiring us to send the 3dSecure version used for apple pay (2.1,2.2,2.3,etc.). I believe this only applies to mastercard but would appreciate if anyone has run into something similar and what you specified. I have not been able to find anything in Apple's documentation specifying the version that is used.

HCE Permission and Background Access for Corporate NFC Integration
Hello, We are currently developing an application that uses the Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) entitlement to enable corporate access functionality. With this entitlement, we have successfully established HCE communication and can interact with our access control systems to unlock doors. Our question is related to improving the user experience: We would like this access functionality to work without requiring the app to be in the foreground, as this adds friction for users during entry. Specifically, we would like to know: Is it possible for our app to coexist with Apple Wallet as the default contactless app, so that: Our app handles NFC interactions for corporate access (e.g., opening doors). Apple Wallet remains the default for payments. If that coexistence is not possible, and our app is set as the default contactless app, Will the system still need to launch our app into the foreground to complete a transaction (e.g., to emulate the NFC card)? Or is there a way to trigger HCE responses in the background (e.g., using a background process or service extension)? Any guidance on how to configure the app for optimal background access behavior, while maintaining compatibility with Wallet, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Why is the Apple Wallet Url Verification different between the ios18 and ios26
Basic information: The issuer has implemented the feature to active Apple Card via URL Verification. The feature implemented by issuer is supported both in the APP and Clips. When Apple queries the activation method from UnionPay, UnionPay returns the "URL" activation method to Apple. Additionally, the apple-app-site-association file has been correctly deployed, and the configuration for Universal Links has been completed. Both the APP and Clips have undergone testing for Universal Link calls. The desired experiece is that when the APP is installed, Apple Wallet launches the APP, and the user completes the activation within the APP, and if the APP is not installed, Apple Wallet calls Clips, and the user completes the activation in Clips. Problem description: Under iOS 17 and iOS 18, when triggering Apple Pay card activation, the APP or Clips can be called as expected, and the activation can be completed well. However, Under iOS 26, regardless of whether the APP is installed, under the same circumstances, an internal browser within Apple Wallet opens to access the H5 page corresponding to the URL, instead of redirecting to the APP or Clips. Please assist in confirming whether this is a new feature of iOS 26 and how the same user experience can be achieved.
