Sorry about that. The bug should be fixed now so please try again and let me know if you're still having issues.

Are you running iOS 6?

After uninstalling iDownloader it opened directly in Safari and allowed my to add it straight to Passbook. :)
 
Hey guys. I know there was a link posted to a generator, but I wanted to share the one I've been working on as it allows generation of all the different kinds of passes and allows customization of the colors and raw JSON data if you know what you're doing.

Let me know what you think. This is just a rough alpha but I will be working on this to make it really nice and polished before iOS 6 launches officially.

That's awesome. Nice work. :D
 
What should the message format, message, and encoding be?

one that should be correct-ish (I kinda stopped making up stuff and just copied one of mine for the last 15 chars) is:

M1SHEPPARD/JACK ECOFFIN SYDLAXCO 0815 264Y023A0061 10FDL3JEWOHHTP11JN

(I made the PNR record number be 'COFFIN').

They're formatted according to this document: http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/stb/Documents/resolution792-june2010.pdf

Interestingly, the WWDC passkit presentation where he has some SkyPort Airways boarding pass examples with an aztec code (the big square one) actually have real information, but the PDF417 example immediately following is made-up.

Cool. Updated the template. So, how did you like her animation? ;-)

So i tried the PassSource.com on my iPhone (4s) running iOS 6 b2..

once i click the "create" button, the Passbook app does not open. Instead, i get a webpage displaying the "pass.pkpass" icon in the middle with a selection of "Open in" apps - of which, Passbook is not.

Any ideas please?

It's not working for me any longer. I still have some passes I created in there from earlier, but I can't create anymore. I currently have 5 in there, I don't know if that is the limit if there even is one.

i can't create any... the passbook app just doesn't open..

so do you get the webpage with the pass file to download/"open in" then too?

can you go into passbook and delete some and then re-generate?
 
It's working again. I just restarted the iPhone.
Try this link. http://www.passsource.com/customize.php?template_id=9
Hit create then a pass would pop up and hit add on the upper right. Then you can go in the passbook app. Try restarting first though.

still comes up with webpage wanting to "open in" some app other than passbook!

are there any other settings/options for passbook i need to enable?

This appears to be a bug in the latest beta. You can delete the apps it is trying to open or you can try emailing the passes to yourself. *Please file a bug report with Apple at http://bugreport.apple.com
 
I have the feeling because if this app the next iphone will not have nfc...

What makes you think that?

I think this app will allow the use of QR/barcodes and NFC depending on what is provided by developers. Of course, we won't see any of the NFC parts now, because we don't have that hardware yet...
 
Anyone know of a way to reorganize your passes? Right now they are in the order they were added and I would like change that.
 
Another source of sample passes

Thankyou so much for all the links to sample passes. They've been a life saver as I really wanted to get to grips with Passbook. Having played with it I love it and can't wait for it to be available to the masses and importantly for business to get on board.

I also came across another pass provider: PassKit. They have a bunch of samples and if you download the Starbucks Sample Pass you get free access to their API. You can then push updates to the iPhone lock screen. Just visit the Passbook Sample Passes section from your iOS6 device and download the Starbucks pass.

I think there's even a video on youtube showing how to push updates.

Please keep sharing your experiences, and any other sites that have sample passes or ability to push updates and change the geofencing etc...

Our Starbucks pass has push updates working as well as a service that will update the pass with your nearest Starbucks locations for geofencing.
