PassKit C# Quickstart

License: MIT Nuget

Overview

This quickstart aims to help get C# developers up and running with the PassKit SDK as quickly as possible.

Prerequisites

You will need the following:

  • A PassKit account (signup for free at PassKit)
  • Your PassKit SDK Credentials (available from the Developer Tools Page)
  • Apple wallet certificate id (for flights only, available from the certificate page) ScreenShot
  • Recommended Code Editor Visual Studio Code Guide to Installation
  • If you use Visual Studio Code use this guide to install the necessary extensions
  • .NET v6.0 Guide to Installation (please note: should you be installing this in Mac if may come up as malicious software despite being from Microsoft. The way to fix this is shown in the configuration)

Configuration

  1. In the certs folder of the repository add the following three PassKit credential files:

    • certificate.pem
    • ca-chain.pem
    • key.pem

    You can disregard the key-java.pem credentials file as it is not compatible with C#.

  2. Now we need to decrypt your key.pem. At your project root directory, run cd ./certs openssl ec -in key.pem -out key.pem. Your key.pem file should look like below. If you are in your root directory the terminal should show PASSKIT-C-SHARP-GRPC-QUICKSTART to the left of the cursor and then after running the command certs, as shown below. ScreenShot ScreenShot If you do not see Proc-Type: 4,ENCEYPTED on line 2, you have successfully decrypted key.pem.

  3. If you wish to receive enrollment emails for loyalty or coupon cards edit baseEmail and vipEmail on lines 29 and 30 in QuickstartLoyalty for loyalty, ScreenShot and lines 30 and 31 in QuickstartCoupons for coupons. ScreenShot

  4. Go back to root directory with cd ../. Then run dotnet run, to create a sample membership card, coupon card and boarding pass (with default templates & tiers/offers) and issue them.

  5. Mac users only - After configuring the quickstart should you encounter the error, navigate to system preferences and select security and privacy. ScreenShot Then navigate to general. ScreenShot In general, underneath App Store and identified developers the file that is being flagged as malicious will be shown. Allow it to run and the quickstart should run smoothly, you may need to repeat the process a couple of times for the other files involved in .Net. ScreenShot

Please make sure to check the API region of your account here and change it accordingly in the GrpcConnection.cs, for Europe/Pub1 use host = "grpc.pub1.passkit.io" and for USA/Pub2 use host = "grpc.pub2.passkit.io".
