I mean, clearly, that’s the whole point of the article. What I’m asking is how do you make a wallet pass from a static image. Is is difficult? Is it simple? What are the steps?

This is like if I asked “how do I boil an egg” and you had answered “you can boil an egg yourself”. Yes, I know that. That’s obvious but also unhelpful. The correct (short) answer would’ve been “bring water to a boil on the stove, lower an egg into it, wait around 10 minutes, turn it off and place the egg in cold water for an easier peel”. Or “here’s a link with instructions: <URL>”.

It's simple, there are lots of libraries that can generate it. You can probably even ask Claude Code or something like that to generate you one.

I understood your question as: can I do this myself or do I need an app and the answer is that you can do it yourself. The documentation for it is easily Googleable.
