Python library to read/write Apple Passbook (.pkpass) files
If you need the server side implementation (API / WebServices) in django you should check http.//github.com/devartis/django-passbook.
- 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)
- 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
- Ensure you have M2Crypto installed
sudo easy_install M2Crypto
#!/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'))
# Get the certificate strings from environment variables in the PEM format
certificate_string = os.environ['PASSBOOK_CERTIFICATE']
key_string = os.environ['PASSBOOK_KEY']
wwdr_string = os.environ['WWDR_CERTIFICATE']
password = os.environ['PASSBOOK_KEY_PASSWORD']
passfile.create(certificate_string, key_string, wwdr_string, password, 'test.pkpass') # Create and output the Passbook file (.pkpass)
Certificate is available @ http://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer It can be exported from KeyChain into a .pem (e.g. wwdr.pem)
