PHP PKPass class for iOS 6 Passbook

This class provides the functionality to create an Pass for Passbook in Apple's iOS 6 on-the-fly. It creates, signs and packages the Pass as a .pkpass file according to Apple's documentation.

Please also take a look at my repository PHP-Passkit, which includes the PKTemplate and PKValidate classes, to easily manage templates and validate pass files.

Requirements

  • PHP 5
  • Access to OpenSSL and Zip via PHP's exec()
  • Access to filesystem (script creates a directory temp/ for temporary files)

Usage

Please take a look at the example.php file for example usage. For more info on the JSON for the pass and how to style it, take a look at the docs at developers.apple.com.

A live demo of the full sample can be found on http://www.tomttb.com/test/pass/full_sample.

Please note that iOS 6 and Passbook are still in beta, which means that the API can change at any moment. As new beta releases of iOS 6 come up, I'll try to update the class as soon as possible and add more features.

Requesting the Pass Certificate

  1. Go to the iOS Provisioning portal
  2. Create a new Pass Type ID
  3. Request the certificate like shown
  4. Download the .cer file and drag it into Keychain Access
  5. Right click the certificate in Keychain Access and choose Export 'pass.<id>'…
  6. Choose a password and export the file to a folder

Getting the example.php sample to work

  1. Request the Pass certificate and upload it to your server
  2. Set the correct path and password on line 6 and 7
  3. Change the passTypeIdentifier and teamIndentifier to the correct values, which can be found on the iOS Provisioning portal after clicking on 'Configure' next to the Pass ID, on line 10 and 14

After completing these steps, you should be ready to go. Upload all the files to your server and navigate to the address of the example.php file on your iPhone.
