Sending Updates to the Sent/Installed Passes on a Device
Prerequisites
If the Engagement Server is not secure with HTTPS, then pass updates are not possible.
Procedure
To update an installed pass or an already sent pass on a device, follow these steps:
- When the pass is sent and installed on the device, use the same REST API (Pass Distribution) to send updates on the pass as well.
- But in the payload passTypeIdentifier, passType and passSerialNumber should have the same values of the sent pass.
- Based on your requirement, modify the pass payload to send an update to the already sent pass.
- Verify the payload before sending the pass. Now send the pass again to the device.
- Do not install the pass again on the device. The device automatically updates the pass with the changes you made in the payload.
