Jam Jar Cinema Wallet Passes

Published on Saturday, 20 May 2017

My local cinema is Awesome!

I want to create passes to keep a memento of the films I've seen. I order online so don't get ticket stubs from the venue and I like having a digital copy, like CineWorld does.

There are a number of websites which allow you to make Wallet Passes.

I've recently tried PassSlot (https://www.passslot.com).

PassSlot

It has a free tier which allows you to create 1 PassID, multiple templates, and a set limit of passes, which is all I need.

It has an SDK which is great.

I created my Template with variables for the various pieces of information and now I have an iOS app which allows me to fill in the values, pick an image and create a pass.

It uses the iTunes Artwork Finder from Ben Dodson.

The PassSlot API is available on 'mashape'

The documentation mentions

Other Platforms - The PassSlot API is also available through mashape. They have client libraries for Node, Ruby, Java, .NET, Windows 8

On the marketplace

There is a button for open in Paw. I can't get it to work at the moment.


I'd started making a Mac app to create Wallet Passes.

I followed the RW tutorials on PassKit but my PHP was rusty so never got that side working.

I got the local one working which used the sign tool and created all the files

  • pass.json
  • manifest.json
  • .pkpass
  • etc

But when I tried to add them to my phone I ran into issues, I raised a bug will Apple and they are working on something.

The pass has to be served over SSL.
