Does it run on non-Apple devices also? If not...

Apple Wallet doesn't exist on non-Apple devices, so why should this?

By this logic, I'm glad Google does not limit Android development only to Chromebooks!

Google doesn't make their wallet available to iPhones. They don't even make their wallet available to open-source Android. It requires GMS which is only (legitimately) available to commercial Google partners.

Are chromebooks even viable android dev machines?

There are apps that allow using Apple-formatted passes on other operating systems as well.

If not.. what?

▲ajkjk 2 hours ago | parent [-]

if not then nobody should use it

Although perhaps I'm misunderstanding and the idea is that each wallet device requires a separate implementation and this is just Apple's version? I guess that makes sense. But if the product is "easily make passes for your business" and then they are Apple-locked, that is obnoxious and anti-consumer and people should refuse to use it.

Apple Passes are a feature built into Apple Wallet, which is iOS/watchOS/Safari-only. Google has their own version in Google Wallet that runs on Android (and only Android with Google Play Services if I recall correctly). Samsung has a version too and there are many others. I believe they all operate off .pkpass files.

Apple Pass Designer is just a tool for customizing what the passes a business is giving to its iOS customers looks like. It's macOS-only (Apple barely supports anything not-Apple). I assume the customizations won't translate to other apps unless those apps add support, but the passes should still work.

It’s made clear that this is specifically for Apple Wallet, not some sort of general solution.
