Suggestion: Apple Wallet

[mijup01]

It would be amazing if a certificate could be added to Apple Wallet.

Implementing this makes 3rd-party-services unnecessary. As much as I trust one of them, having this directly in the app would be preferential to all existing workarounds.

Please please add Apple Wallet functionality!

Any update on this?

This would be a great feature either being made available in the Wallet or by having a dedicated Watch app.
Please do consider this enhancement

Apple just released iOS 15.1: Verifiable health records

Any chance that this would be implemented?

[mijup01]

@Christian-Seiler This would be the solution to add the certificate into Apple Wallet. The GreenPass App is already using it!

[p-clements]

This would be an ideal solution but will require an update to support the SMART Health Cards specification

Where are we on this? Anybody got a timeframe of when this will be implemented?

1. Either we update to support the SMART health card specification (which is verifiable) OR
2. We add within app the ability to add to wallet (like Greenpass app).

Number 2 can be done quit quickly.

I dug a little bit into this issue here is what I found:
The Verifiable health records API is currently only available for some countries and Switzerland is not part of those countries.

The app could use PassKit to generate a pass (like the Greenpass app) but the back-end needs to add an endpoint to create them as the passes cannot be generated only on the device.

If someone external implemented this feature would you accept the PR ?

[chcan21]

Spain and the UK allow the pass to be added to the wallet (not verifiable/SMART system). I think it’s just Passkit implementation?

So clearly this can be done. There are no technical hurdles. So can we get this implemented please? Shouldn’t be that much work.

iOS 15.4 Beta 1 officially supports adding Covid Certs to Wallet, but also says that Certs issued by Switzerland cannot be added yet. Is there finally something going on our side? I hate to have so many Government Apps on my Smartphone!

I've had my Swiss Covid cert in the Apple Wallet (thanks to Green Pass) for some time now, hence also on my Apple Watch. I never show the cert in electronic form, neither on the Watch nor on the iPhone. Instead, I've photo reduced my paper cert, cut out the QR code and tucked it behind my Swiss ID card in the sane plasticine envelope. Wherever needed, I only have to take out the ID card, have the QR code on the back scanned, then turn it over to show the front of the ID card. Still much simpler and much quicker than any hybrid solution.
