Want To Play Around With Passbook In iOS 6? Check Out This Clever Method

June 26, 2012
Apple's iOS 6 betas have been rolling out since the WWDC '12 keynote, but Passbook - the company's digital wallet solution - isn't automatically enabled. Fortunately, it's possible to enable the Passbook app using one quick, relatively simple method, as Redmond Pie notes. Here's the process - though before continuing, do note that Passbook is only available on iDevices running iOS 6: to install the prerelease software on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the iDevice in question must be registered with an Apple developer account. 1 - Launch Safari for iOS on your iDevice, and visit PassSource. Here, you can create passes for the Passbook app free of charge. 2 - Enter the relevant information for the passes displayed on the mobile webpage. You can also leave this information blank if you just want to see what a pass-filled Passbook app will look like, but doing this will obviously not create working passes. 3 - Once the required information has been entered, click "create," and you'll be able to add the pass in question to your iOS 6-powered iDevice. It'll be interesting to see how Apple develops Passbook as we move closer to the release of the sixth-gen iPhone and iOS 6, both of which are expected to launch in fall. The most recent rumors suggest that the upcoming smartphone will be NFC-capable, meaning Passbook could turn out to be more than just a digital pass-holder, and perhaps a true mobile payments solution for the sixth-gen iPhone handset. Until then, iDevice owners rocking iOS 6 beta can play around with the application using the above method - hit the links below for additional information regarding the process.
