voter-apple-wallet

A command-line utility for generating Apple Wallet passes for ACLU Voter.

Installation

The script relies on a fork of node-passbook to generate .pkpass files. It expects to run on Node v10 on Ubuntu 16.04.

$ npm install

ImageMagick is used to add a pin icon to the map.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y imagemagick

The map on the pass comes from the Mapbox Static API. You'll need to create an API token and define it as an environment variable.

$ export MAPBOX_API_KEY="..."

You will need an active Apple Developer account to generate passes.

Create a Pass Type Identifier
Set the teamIdentifier and passTypeIdentifier in template/pass.json
Get your certificates and place a [Pass Type ID].pem file into the template folder (e.g., template/org.aclu.voter.pem)

Use the included shell script to invoke the pass generator.

$ pkpass.sh [address] [hours] [lat] [lng]

That will generate a new file called pass.pkpass that you can drag and drop onto the iOS Simulator app to view.

The template folder contains all the files used to generate the pass. Edit pass.json to experiment with alternate pass types and default content:

"eventTicket": {
	"primaryFields": [],
	"secondaryFields": [],
	"auxiliaryFields": []
}
