description

Guide users through creating, designing, signing, distributing, and updating Apple Wallet passes using the PassKit framework. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Wallet passes, .pkpass files, boarding passes, event tickets, store cards, coupons, loyalty cards, membership cards, NFC passes, or anything related to Apple Wallet integration. Also trigger when the user asks about "Add to Wallet" badges, pass signing certificates, pass updates via push notifications, or barcode/NFC-based redemption flows. Even if the user just says "I want to create a digital ticket" or "loyalty card for my app", this skill applies.

• Setting up pass signing with Apple-issued certificates
• Distributing passes via app, email, or web

Pass Styles Overview

Apple Wallet supports five pass styles. Choosing the correct style is critical because it determines the visual layout, the information hierarchy, and how time/location relevance works.
