Issues with viewing the pass (on mobile, and on mac preview)

[uhel-dev]

Hi there, first of all time you've spend on doing this 100% worth it, helps a lot of us get thru this pain. Thank you.

I have an odd one, I managed to get thru certs, had issue with the passphrase solved that, now the function creates the pass but is unusable, do you have an idea what it could be

    PKPass.from({
        model: "./Generic.pass",
        certificates: {
            wwdr: fs.readFileSync("certs/wwdr.pem"),
            signerCert: fs.readFileSync("certs/signerCert.pem"),
            signerKey: fs.readFileSync("certs/signerKey.pem"),
            signerKeyPassphrase: "signerKeyPassphrase!",
        }
    }).then(async (newPass) => {

            // Save the pass to a file
            const buffer = await newPass.getAsBuffer();
            fs.writeFileSync('pass.pkpass', buffer);

            res.status(200).send('Pass generated and saved as custom_pass.pkpass');
        }).catch(error => {
            console.error("Error generating pass:", error);
            res.status(500).send('Error generating pass');
        });

Even when trying to build a Generic pass with no changes, it doesn't open, when I do the same with the signpass from apple it creates usable pass, I'm sure I'm missing something tiny, but been at it for too long to give up, let me know if you have any ideas.

Best,

Hey @uhel-dev! Thanks for using passkit-generator! Glad this is helpful.

Did you try to debug through Console.app? I created a guide in wiki for that, in order to find the message: https://github.com/alexandercerutti/passkit-generator/wiki/Troubleshooting-(Self-help)#through-console-mac-only

Once you are able to check the message, we can dig down for the reason.

Let me know.

Your kindness is limitless, let me try to figure it out today (and share outcomes) if that doesn't work out, I will share it and hope for some help. Have a lovely day ahead man.

No. I'm going to have a lovely night instead ahah
You made me realize I didn't have the setting to show my timezone on my profile ahah.

Sure let me know

[uhel-dev]

🎉 at least both of us could learn something, lovely night for both of us then, lets see how it gets

I guess you solved in the end, isn't it? Do you perhaps remember what was the issue?
