I changed yesterday from the official iPhone leather case to a MOUS case with MagSafe and the wallet still works and I still get notifications when its removed! so, we don't need official apple cases to use this feature!!

Picked up the Dark Cherry wallet at the Apple Store this morning and it wasn't recognized no matter what I tried in the store. Just finished a DFU on my 13 mini and the wallet was immediately recognized by Find My and it automatically assigned "Robert's Wallet" as the name.
 
Bought one today and it got recognized rigjt away! So happy I didn’t have to go through a DFU just activate FindMy for the wallet.

Did you DFU restore and then setup as new or DFU restore and then restore backup?
I’m tempted to try this but not sure I can be bothered!
 
I replaced my phone 13 mini and wallet with new ones and the new wallet works. I was on Beta 2. Not sure what caused it to not read the wallet in the first place. Hope it’s figured out.

apparently resetting network settings helps.. a colleague did this and 24 hours later it fojnd it

hmmm it did freeze out half way during the download ill try it again lets see. ugh what a pain

If it froze during download, you have two options. Let it complete and risk having to download again after wasting time with incomprehensible error numbers, or just cut the time loss and download fresh.

I have suffered through this once. I would sometimes pause the downloads too, and once it so happened that the download stopped for a while since the Airport Express lost ethernet connection. The file downloaded when it did, and I sat through a long time sifting through the internet trying to fix the error. Then it came to me, why not just download it again and see? Yeah. Hard lesson learnt. Now I never pause it and if it stops in the middle, I just discard it and download again. The files are now 6 GB and not a joke to keep downloading over and over, plus the time wasted in diagnosing the error numbers.
 
Neat! They fixed a feature for an accessory they launched a month ago. Great job, Apple!
 
I just got my golden brown wallet and am using the Apple leather case and running 15.02 and I hear the audible alert when I attach the wallet but it does not recognize and when I try and add it under the Find My Magsafe accessory it says it is not supported.

Reading other posts, I tried Reset All Settings and that did not help.

I am getting the audible alert when I attach it but no pop up animation. It will not find it when it asks me to attach Magsafe accessory so maybe I got a dud.


Update: Got it to recognize it in Find My when adding a Magsafe Accessory, I tap on Wallet, then I click on continue to add to Find My and then it says "Cannot Add Wallet". Apple Support isn't much help either. May have to return it to Verizon or go the Apple store.

After trying Reset All Settings, I backed up my iPhone locally and then reset the phone and set it up again via iCloud restore and now it recognizes the Wallet and tells me when it is detached. Go figure...
