Description
I got my Apple developer certificate and built a simple app to solve a problem I had. One shop I buy from doesn't have Apple Wallet passes. Since you need signed certificates to build these very simple things, I created a minimal app that signs them. It's available if you need it too. It won't scan cards with AI - you manually enter the barcode, which I think makes it less prone to error.

Could you build this?
Yes Generating Apple Wallet .pkpass files is a well-defined standard: creating a JSON manifest, bundling image assets, signing with an Apple Pass Type ID certificate via PKCS#7 / OpenSSL, and serving the archive.
