Express Mode when Apple Wallet it's not the default wallet.
We are currently developing a wallet solution that uses the iOS EEA HCE API’s, during the testing of enabling our wallet as the system default wallet, we are being presented with an iOS system alert that states: “Change the default contactless app? You can double-click to use cards in your default app. If Apple Wallet is not your default wallet app, you’ll need to open Wallet to use its cards, keys and tickets. Express Mode will continue to work when iphone is held near a compatible reader” Please can you advise how we can prevent Apple Pay’s express mode from intercepting the customers preferred wallet actions including transit payments. If this is not possible please can you provide the rationale for this not being possible given the Digital Marketing Act interoperability guidelines and EU Commitments in case AT.40452.

Can an iPhone be used as an NFC terminal to read Apple Wallet passes from another iPhone?
Hi all, I'm working on a use case where a customer checks in at a point of service (e.g., a cafeteria or restaurant) using their Apple Wallet pass (e.g., a digital employee badge). In this scenario, we would like to use an iPhone (with a custom iOS app) as the NFC terminal to read the pass directly from the customer's iPhone over NFC. I’m aware that "Tap to Pay on iPhone" allows NFC-based payment acceptance, but it’s unclear if similar functionality is available or permitted for reading access-type passes from another iPhone via NFC. Key questions: Is it technically possible for an iPhone to act as an NFC reader for a Wallet pass on another iPhone? If not, is this restricted due to Secure Element isolation or protocol limitations? Is there any Apple-supported path for building such a solution — or is certified external hardware (e.g., HID, Wavelynx) the only option? I’ve reviewed the Core NFC and PassKit documentation but couldn't find a definitive answer. Thanks in advance for your clarification!

PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression Behavior
We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement to enable Pass Presentation Suppression. In most cases, our code snippet works as expected, and the result is .success. However, we are also encountering other results, such as .denied, .alreadyPresenting, and .cancelled or .notSupported, which cause the Wallet to appear for users. Here's the code snippet we're using: PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression { result in logger.log( .info, "PKPassLibrary suppression result: \(result.description)", LogContext.homeFeature ) } I would appreciate clarification on the following points: What's the meaning of each result type (.denied, .alreadyPresenting, .cancelled, .notSupported) beyond what is mentioned in the documentation? The documentation here does not provide additional details. What is the recommended handling for these specific result states? Should we be taking different actions or retries based on each case? Thank you very much for your help. Best, Ramiro.
