This is genuinely useful. I have so many loyalty cards that exist only as physical barcodes that stores refuse to look up by phone number.

The privacy concern about sending pass data to the server is valid though. Since .pkpass files need to be cryptographically signed with Apple's certificate, there's no way to generate them purely client-side.

Potential solution: open source the signing code and let users run it locally with their own Apple Developer account ($99/year). Power users would do this, casual users can use your hosted version.

Also works with Google Wallet apparently, which is great for Android users.

For loyaltycards there was Stocard, but it got acquired by the toxic company Klarna.

SuperCards is very very similar, and in my opinion more useful than putting everything in Apple Wallet. You get to store a pictures, and everything is in one place. Apple Wallet is already cluttered with tons of creditcards, tickets, etc

Weird thing from the pretty ho-hum super cards privacy policy:

> The Service Provider will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you'd like them to delete User Provided Data that you have provided via the Application, please contact them at [email protected] and they will respond in a reasonable time.

That looks like a placeholder address to me? Not exactly confidence inspiring if so…

Well that turnaround is pretty confidence-inspiring.

I’m so pissed off with Klarna obsoleting Stocard as the Klarna app is missing one of the best features of Stocard, that you could add loyalty cards to Apple Wallet.

To be honest though, a micro loans company engaging in this behaviour doesn’t surprise me at all.

Use super cards, add them to the widgets on leftmost screen where weather is. Remove your Klara account

Technically you could use blind signing, no?

Google Wallet can do this natively
