Passbook

Python library to read/write Apple Passbook (.pkpass) files

Getting Started

1. Get a Pass Type Id

Visit the iOS Provisioning Portal -> Pass Type IDs -> New Pass Type ID Select pass type id -> Configure (Follow steps and download generated pass.cer file) Use Keychain tool to export a Certificates.p12 file (need Apple Root Certificate installed)

2. Generate the necessary certificate and key .pem files

openssl pkcs12 -in "Certificates.p12" -clcerts -nokeys -out certificate.pem 
openssl pkcs12 -in "Certificates.p12" -nocerts -out key.pem

3. Ensure you have M2Crypto installed

sudo easy_install M2Crypto

Typical Usage

#!/usr/bin/env python

from passbook.models import Pass, Barcode, StoreCard

cardInfo = StoreCard()
cardInfo.addPrimaryField('name', 'John Doe', 'Name')

organizationName = 'Your organization' 
passTypeIdentifier = 'pass.com.your.organization' 
teamIdentifier = 'AGK5BZEN3E'

passfile = Pass(cardInfo, \
    passTypeIdentifier=passTypeIdentifier, \
    organizationName=organizationName, \
    teamIdentifier=teamIdentifier)
passfile.serialNumber = '1234567' 
passfile.barcode = Barcode(message = 'Barcode message')    

# Including the icon and logo is necessary for the passbook to be valid.
passfile.addFile('icon.png', open('images/icon.png', 'r'))
passfile.addFile('logo.png', open('images/logo.png', 'r'))
passfile.create('certificate.pem', 'key.pem', 'wwdr.pem', '123456', 'test.pkpass') # Create and output the Passbook file (.pkpass) 

Note: Getting WWDR Certificate

Certificate is available @ http://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer It can be exported from KeyChain into a .pem (e.g. wwdr.pem)
