Apple Sandbox is not available in India, also Apple Pay itself is not supported by Indian Banks. How can I still test using Apple Pay sandbox in India? I am trying to add test cards on my iPhone and it fails to add it. It tries to connect to Issuer, which it should not for sandbox Apple Id. Can anyone help how to achieve this?

We are implementing Apple Pay on our website, but we only sell services and would prefer that the shipping address section of the Apple Pay modal doesn't require the shipping address and just show the billing address. Is there any way to achieve this?

I’m having an issue verifying a domain for a Merchant ID. I’m implementing Apple Pay on the web for a demo, and I’ve configured the Azure server to match Apple’s requirements for domain verification, such as the TLS configuration, not requiring client certificates, and ensuring there are no redirects. I’ve run tests with OpenSSL and PowerShell and all responses return HTTP/1.1 200 OK. I also tested the URL Apple says it uses to validate the file under .well-known, and it does show the expected result. I already have the Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate approved; the only thing missing is the domain verification. I’m not sure what else to test—if you could help me with a possible solution, I’d really appreciate it. (The project is built in .NET 8 and hosted on Azure App Service.)

Hello, We are implementing Apple Wallet extensions (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler). While our UI extension works as expected, our Non-UI extension is unable to detect payment passes provisioned by our app. Specifically, PKPassLibrary().passes(of: .secureElement) returns an empty array when called from the Non-UI extension, even though the same call correctly returns the passes when executed from the Main iOS App. Our Payment Network Operator has confirmed that our extension bundle identifiers are correctly registered in the metadata on their side. They suggested that the Wallet Extensions entitlement (com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning) may require additional backend enablement for these specific Extension App IDs. Is there a known reason why PKPassLibrary would behave differently in the Non-UI extension vs the Main App? Beyond the standard entitlement request, is there a specific process to "activate" these IDs for extension visibility? Does anyone have guidance on reaching the appropriate team for backend entitlement activation issues? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi :) I'm new to app store connect, and I just want to verify what does it take to be able to test subscription for a new app that isn't approved yet using sandbox? Or is this not possible that the app has to be approved first? More context below: My app is a new app, I only submitted for review and I linked the subscription from the app’s In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on the version page when submit it for review. It got rejected for now. When the app review status is both in-review and rejected, I've tried to test my subscription, where there is a button (like "subscribe"/"become a member") in my app that user can click on, which it calls ios's IAPProvider.startMembershipPurchase, I just get Error: [IAPService] Product not found: [<my_subscription_id>]. I ensured my subscription's product id in app store connect matches with the one in my code. I can see the "rejected" status both on my app and the subscription. So can anyone help clarify if the app has to be approved first in order to test subscription? Or am I missing any other setup? Or it might just be my code? Thanks in advance! Any info is super helpful!

Hi, We have app in which we take donations from people and send to non-profit organisations. I have read that Apple Pay can be integrated on non profit platforms to take donations, but we are middle man, we are not non profit .. we take donations, cut our platform fees and then sent to donations to non profit orgs. My question is can we integrate Apple Pay in our iOS app to take donations from apple? as we have integrated Apple Pay on the web.

Hello, I am following up on my previous feedback (Feedback ID: FB17175593) regarding the in-app provisioning failure for Apple Pay. In that report, I detailed errors encountered during the card addition process (notably issues related to a missing teamID and cryptographic material errors). Could you please provide an update on the investigation progress? I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

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.

Hi, we are setting up Apple Pay on our website which sells only digital goods. We don't collect a shipping address because we aren't shipping anything. We want to use the user's billing address in order to show them the total amount (including sales tax) before they authorize the purchase. However, it seems that the billing address isn't always provided by Apple Pay before the payment is authorized. With Apple Pay, what is the recommended way of acquiring the user's billing address before they authorize the purchase? -- More details about our setup: We are using the Apple Pay JS API. In createPaymentRequest, we specify requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress'], but per the docs, the address is provided after the user authorizes the transaction. That is too late for us because we want to show the sales tax before the user authorizes the purchase. We have attempted to work around this by getting the billing contact details in session.onpaymentmethodselected. For example: session.onpaymentmethodselected = function (event) { const billingContact = event.paymentMethod.billingContact; // Sometimes `billingContact` exists, but other times it does not } This doc states: Before the user authorizes the transaction, you receive redacted billing contact information in a callback event. The redacted information includes only the necessary data for completing transaction tasks, such as calculating taxes or shipping costs. But in practice, we've observed that sometimes no billing contact information is provided. When a user switches from one card to another, we seem to never get the billing contact associated with the newly selected card. Is there something we're missing?

Hi Team, For last 24 hours one of our team members is unable to login to apple dev portal due to two factor authentication not being sent. Error we are getting is "Verification codes can't be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later"

I'm implementing payment processing with Apple Pay on the web, but I've been stuck right at the final step of the flow: decrypting the payment data sent by Apple. Here is a summary of my implementation: The backend language is Java. The frontend portal requests the session and performs the payment using the endpoints exposed by the backend. I created .p12 files from the .cer files returned by the Apple Developer portal for both certificates (Merchant Identity and Payment Processing) and I'm using them in my backend. The merchant validation works perfectly; the user is able to request a session and proceed to the payment sheet. However, when the frontend sends the encrypted token back to my sale endpoint, the problem begins. My code consistently fails when trying to decrypt the data (inside the paymentData node) throwing a javax.crypto.AEADBadTagException: Tag mismatch! I can confirm that the certificate used by Apple to encrypt the payment data is the correct one. The hash received from the PKPaymentToken (header.publicKeyHash) object exactly matches the hash generated manually on my side from my .p12 file. In the decryption process, I'm using Bouncy Castle only to calculate the Elliptic Curve (ECC) shared secret. For the final AES-GCM decryption, I am using Java's native provider since I already have the bytes of the shared secret calculated. (Originally, I was doing it entirely with BC, but it failed with the exact same error). We have exhaustively verified our cryptographic implementation: We successfully reconstruct the ephemeralPublicKey and compute the ECDH Shared Secret using our Payment Processing Certificate's private key (prime256v1). We perform the Key Derivation Function (KDF) using id-aes256-GCM, PartyU as Apple, and counter 00000001. For PartyV, we have tried calculating the SHA-256 hash of our exact Merchant ID string. We also extracted the exact ASN.1 hex payload from the certificate's extension OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.32 and used it as PartyV. We have tried generating brand new CSRs and Processing Certificates via OpenSSL directly from the terminal. Despite having the correct ECDH shared secret (and confirming Apple used our public key via the hash), the AES tag validation always fails.et, the AES tag validation always fails. Given that the math seems correct and the public key hashes match, could there be an environment mismatch (Sandbox vs. Production) or a domain validation issue causing Apple to encrypt the payload with a dummy PartyV or scramble the data altogether? Any guidance on this behavior or the exact PartyV expected in this scenario would be highly appreciated.

Hi, I’ve been trying to integrate Apple Pay, but for some reason, the payment button is not showing up. The project is built with Laravel 11 and Vue. I imported the script as follows: <script crossorigin crossorigin src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/1.latest/apple-pay-sdk.js" ></script> Then I added the following the steps: <style> apple-pay-button {{ --apple-pay-button-width: --apple-pay-button-width: 150px;; --apple-pay-button-height: --apple-pay-button-height: 30px;; --apple-pay-button-border-radius: --apple-pay-button-border-radius: 3px;; --apple-pay-button-padding: --apple-pay-button-padding: 0px 0px;; --apple-pay-button-box-sizing: border-box; } </style> <apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="plain" locale="en-US"></apple-pay-button> I followed all the steps from the official Apple Pay demo: https://applepaydemo.apple.com/ I also configured the Content Security Policy (CSP) to allow all necessary resources. However, when I test my integration, the button doesn’t appear. I’ve checked the console, but there are no errors. At the same time, I have my certificate imported into the Keychain, and I’ve completed the entire process of creating both the certificate and the private key. However, when I try to validate the session using the certificate and key with Apple’s API, I get an error: 400 The SSL certificate error https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/

We are integrating Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our banking application using an external SDK. The provisioning flow works on the iOS Simulator (mock sheet appears), but fails on real devices via TestFlight with the error: internalInconsistency: "PKAddPaymentPassViewController can not be created" Environment: Xcode 16 iOS 18 Real device: iPhone (tested via TestFlight / Distribution build) Card network: Mastercard What we've verified: com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning entitlement is set to YES in our .entitlements file The entitlement is confirmed present in our Development provisioning profile via security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision | grep payment-pass → returns <true/> PKAddPaymentPassViewController.canAddPaymentPass() returns true on the device The card is NOT already in Apple Wallet (0 local/remote Secure Element passes) All provisioning data is present and valid (encryptedPayload, authorizationCode, primaryAccountSuffix, cardholderName) The external SDK is configured successfully at app launch Diagnostic logs from TestFlight build: canAddPaymentPass: true Local SE passes: 0 Remote SE passes: 0 suffix: 6165 name: [redacted] encryptedPayload length: 1130 authCode length: 514 scheme: Mastercard Card already in Wallet: false Error: internalInconsistency("PKAddPaymentPassViewController can not be created") Testing matrix: Environment Result Simulator Mock sheet appears (not a real test) Device + Debugger attached PKAddPaymentPassViewController error Device + Debugger detached (Dev build) SDK error 903: "device environment unsafe" TestFlight (Distribution) PKAddPaymentPassViewController cannot be created Questions: Can PKAddPaymentPassViewController fail to be created even when canAddPaymentPass() returns true? What other conditions could cause this? Is there a way to verify that the Distribution provisioning profile correctly includes the payment-pass-provisioning entitlement after it has been approved by Apple? Are there any additional Apple Pay entitlements or configurations (e.g., Wallet merchant setup, pass type identifiers) required beyond com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning for In-App Provisioning to work? Does regenerating the Distribution provisioning profile on Apple Developer Portal resolve cases where entitlements were added after the profile was originally created? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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.

Hi , This is regarding the ApplePayRecurringPayment Request and Apple Pay on Web functionality. Does Apple Pay on web providing functionality that collects payments from the stored credit card issuer bank (or) it only provides secured wallet functionality that provides a token which then has to be utilized to send a seperate payment request through a third party payment gateway to collect the payments from the credit card issuer bank. thanks

I am currently working on decrypting Apple Pay tokens with Laravel PHP, and I have encountered a few uncertainties regarding the decryption process and the usage of AES-GCM. Could you please clarify the following points: Algorithm Confirmation: Am I using the correct algorithm for decrypting the data key? Specifically, I am utilizing AES-256-GCM with the algorithm ID "id-aes256-GCM" (2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.46), as specified in the documentation. Is this the recommended algorithm for decrypting the Apple Pay token's data key? Authentication Tag: In the decryption process, it seems that an authentication tag is required, but I am not sure where to obtain it from. Could you confirm how the authentication tag is generated or provided during the encryption process? If the tag is part of the token or is transmitted separately, could you clarify where I can retrieve it in order to proceed with the decryption successfully? IV and Other Parameters: I am using an initialization vector (IV) of 16 null bytes (00000000000000000000000000000000) as specified in the documentation. Could you confirm that this is correct and aligns with the expected parameters for the AES-GCM decryption? Are there any other specific parameters or considerations I should be aware of when implementing the decryption of Apple Pay tokens? GCM vs Other Encryption Modes: Can you confirm that AES-GCM is the preferred and required encryption mode, or is there any flexibility to use other modes (e.g., AES-CBC) without compromising security? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated to ensure I am following the correct decryption procedure for Apple Pay tokens. Thank you in advance for your support.

I have some questions related to MPAN. What is the format of an MPAN? Is it the same as DPAN? Is it PAN preserving format? Is a Cryptogram required and if yes, what kind of cryptogram? Is it the same format as DPAN? Thanks in Advance!

To perform the integration, it must be done under the same domain that has been validated. Is it not possible to do it in a local environment? Could that be the reason why I can't display the button or complete the validation with the API?

We're working on in-app provisioning for wallet access passes. When testing the in-app provisioning on a sandbox account, I get an error saying software update required. Please advise.

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.
