This class provides the functionality to create passes for Wallet in Apple's iOS 6 and newer on-the-fly. It creates, signs and packages the pass as a .pkpass
file according to Apple's documentation.
- PHP 5.6 or higher
- PHP ZIP Support (may be installed by default)
- Access to filesystem (script must be able to create temporary folders)
Simply run the following command in your project's root directory to install via Composer:
composer require pkpass/pkpass
Or add to your composer.json: "pkpass/pkpass": "^1.2.0"
Include the PKPass.php
file in your PHP project:
require('src/PKPass.php');
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.
