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.

I downloaded a .pkpasses file, but the tickets won't show in the Pass Viewer app. Which formats, file extensions, etc. are supported? The website, supported by the Dutch platform stager.co, showed the link "Add to Apple Wallet."

This program (for now) is for pkpass files. I wasn't aware that Apple introduced a pkpasses file format which it calles "pass bundles". I will introduce support in the next release.

Fortunately, there is a very simple stop-gap solution until I fix this: pkpasses files are just zip files containing multiple pass files. Just rename the pkpasses file to have a ".zip" at the end, and unpack it using your favourite zip program or app. The unpacked files should show up in Pass Viewer.

Please note that I have not tried this myself, as no such file has come my way so far. This is info I got from the Apple docs as well as quite a few forum posts.

According to said forums, these files also create trouble on iPhones if you try to sideload them. The wallet app cannot handle them. Apple's solution was apparently, that Safari automatically unpacks the bundles upon download.

It looks like my SDK is outdated, even though the updater claims it's current. Thus such weird things may happen. I'll fix this in the next release.

Hi, I have a pkpass from the SWISS flight company and there should be two tickets inside but only the first one is displayed.

pkpass files can only contain one ticket each. If you have two tickets, you should have two files.

I suspect it's a boarding pass. These days, if you have two connecting flights with the same airline, you sometime get only one boarding pass that is valid on both flights. Check the Departure and Arrival in the pass.

Thanks for Pass Viewer!

I have encountered a problem with a Deutschlandticket .pkpass file (format: PKBarcodeFormatAztec)

Unfortunately, the message field contains null bytes. When Pass Viewer parses the message field (Qt.btoa(pass.barcodes[barcode].message)),  the first null byte terminates the string, resulting in a truncated, invalid barcode to be rendered. Not sure what the best way to fix this issue would be.

I deleted my former comment as it was wrong and unfair towards Qt.

btoa actually isn't at fault here. It does what it's supposed to. I'm running in two problems later in the process.

Problem number one: Before the message can be turned into a barcode, it has to be converted to the required character encoding. I've been using Qt's character encoding methods for this, but appearantly, those don't handle NUL characters in strings. I can circumvent the problem by using the iconv function, which is part of the standard C library.

Number two: I'm using libzint to create the actual barcodes, and the version of libzint I'm currently using erroneously considers NUL characters to be invalid in Aztec codes. The current version doesn't seem to have this problem, so I guess I'll have to update the library packaged with the App. There has been a big overhaul of libzint, so this may take a bit of time.

I'll try to get this fixed before I travel to Munich at the end of the month.

Okay, it should work now. In case somebody runs into the same problem: The character set conversion didn't work properly, because the default QByteArray to QString conversion stops at NUL characters (this is fixed in Qt Version 6). Use a method where you specifiy the length of the conversion string, and you should be fine.

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).

Nothing provides libbz2.so.1

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).
