This is a simple viewer for PassBook® files.

The app searches the file system, starting in the home directory, for passes, and shows them in a list. A tap on the pass shows the details including the barcode (usually the most important thing). The design is simplified compared to the original app, but should be readable.

Passes close to the relevant time are highlighted. It's also possible to highlight passes close to relevant coordinates (check settings). The top highlighted pass is shown on the cover, with the cover action opening the pass directly. Also, highlighted passes are shown in the event view, while the app is running. Calendar entries can be made from passes with a relevant time.

Passes containing an update link may be updated. Changed fields will be marked the first time the pass is viewed after the update.

Good to know. Thanks! As I don't have a 64-bit device, I can't test the 64-bit packages myself.

In case anybody wonders: The package accidentally asked for both the 64-bit version and the 32-bit version of libbz2. Only the 64-bit version is present (and actually required).

libbz2.so.1 is on the list of allowed required libraries. It should be in the system repo and automatically installed. Looks like it's missing. I also submitted the 64-bit version to the Harbour. Let's see what they say.

If there is no other quick solution, I might also patch out the BZip2 support for now. I don't think the BZip2 compression is in actual use in passes, so the feature probably isn't needed anyway.

On my 64-bit device:

[root@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]# rpm -ql --requires -p /tmp/harbour-passviewer-1.4-2.aarch64.rpm | grep libbz2
libbz2.so.1
libbz2.so.1()(64bit)
[root@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]# rpm -q --provides bzip2-libs
bzip2-libs = 1.0.8+git1-1.1.38.jolla
bzip2-libs(aarch-64) = 1.0.8+git1-1.1.38.jolla
libbz2.so.1()(64bit)
[root@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]#

bzip2-libs doesn't provide libbz2.so.1

You're probably adding this dependency manually. Don't do that, let rpmbuild to figure it out.

You are correct. There where still manual REQUIRE entries from way back. I removed them, rebuilt and replaced the package. Please try again.

I'm currently bogged down. However, I should be able to resume work on this app mid July (this year ;-) ). Next version will mostly be technical changes for the current versions of SailfishOS, but also some UI upgrades.

Hallo,

I recently had an event where the format for the barcode is missing in the json:

 },
  "barcode": {
    "format": "",
    "message": ":3742",
    "altText": ":3742",
    "messageEncoding": "iso-8859-1"
  },

Maybe instead of not showing any barcode, there should be a fallback code like: code128. I don't know how other viewers behave or maybe there is a standard fallback code...

Anyway, still a very helpful app...

I guess I could default to QR-Codes (as they are the most common type).

Thanks for this app :) It work very well (and thanks again for the "full screen code"). If it's not too much to ask I would follow on @cartron comment: adding the date in the list would be a great addition.

works well, thanks very much! that was very much needed for SFOS.

One request maybe: any way to add the date for the travel? I just have a list with "origine->destination" for train tickets, so I have to click on each pkpass to find the correct one - or maybe allow order to be changed?

I'll see what I can do in a future release. You gave me an idea or two how to handle this.

Hi again. You might be right that the download from the Exchange-account get distorted somehow. The attachments from both accounts seems to be stored in the Downloads-folder, so no need for adjustment in that aspect. When I compare the files, they are both zip-archives but it seems like there is data missing (not completley empty files) in the attachment at the Exchange-account. Hopefully something can be done Jolla in future updates.

Hi, the app works fine with .pkpass attachment sent to gmail-account configuered on my Xperia X, but it does not seem to find any attachments sent to a MS Exchange-account, but that maybe is as expected. It could be very useful to make it discover attachments in exchange if that could be possible.

There seems to be a problem with the Sailfish Exchange plugin. With some servers (like some versions of Zimbra), attachements don't get downloaded, just empty files. If that happens, they won't show up in this app.

If you're certain that the attachements get downloaded properly, the problem may be that they end up somewhere in the file system where the app doesn't look for it. I can fix this, but only if I know where to look (I don't have an exchange account, so I can't check myself).

I tried it to see train e-tickets (pdf) but the app does not detect them. What kind of 'passes' does it read? What is it ultimately for? The description is not clear enough. WTF is passbook???

p2501's picture

p2501

Thu, 2018/04/12 - 13:53

Passbook is a well known, widespread file format (extension .pkpass). It's commonly used for boarding passes, but also for tickets, loyalty cards and so on. PDFs should show up in the Documents app instead. And no, I won't include a description what Passbook is for the same reason that, say, an ePub Viewer app doesn't explain what ePub is in its description. The app description should be brief and not contain info, that those looking for the app probably know anyway.

BTW: Apple renamed it to Wallet. But as far as I can surmise, that didn't really catch on.

I have contrast problems with the application: 33c3 tickets have a black background and there are black fonts are shown. So there is no contrast. The ticket should look like in this tweet (probably an apple device): https://twitter.com/mp0x6/status/806053657506676736

Please send me the offending pass (don't worry, I won't abuse it ;-) ), so I can check why the color is misinterpreted. However, I'm currently mostly afk due to the holiday season, so it might be a while, sorry. You may use the "simple view" option from the pulley menu as a stopgap solution.
