How to create a pkpass file in Visual Studio, in widows

912 Views Asked by At

I wonder if there is a way to create a pkpass file in windows from visual studio, or is there a way to generate its structure and change the information for testing?

I've been looking at how to make this structure manually, but I have no idea.

  1. Create a new project in Visual Studio and choose the type of project you want to create. Download the pasKit framework from Apple's developer website.
  2. Add the PassKit framework to your project by right-clicking on the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting "Add Reference". In the Reference Manager dialog box, browse to the location where you downloaded the Pass-Kit framework and add it to your project.
  3. Create the pkpass file structure by creating a new directory with the ext (.pkpass) This dir will contain the files and folders that make up the pkpass file.
  4. Write the necessary code to generate the contents of the pkpass file, such as the pass.json file, imgs, and other rsrcs. You can use the PassKit classes to create the pass.json file and add the required fields, such as the pass type identifier, serial number, and authentication token.
  5. Once you have created the files and folders, compress them into a zip file. Rename the this zip file with extension".pkpass" to create the final file.
  6. To test the pkpass file, add it to the Passbook app on whatever iphone you have
