checkPairedDevicesBySuffix use deprecated PKPassTypePayment

[alexisGandar]

Hello,

I am having trouble to get the passes from the PKPassLibrary. I am having no pass even when i have a card in my wallet.

I use the checkPairedDevicesBySuffix to see if my card is in the wallet and this method is using PKPassTypePayment in order to get the passes from the PKPassLibrary.
PKPassTypePayment is deprecated since iOS 13.4. In other methods like checkCardEligibility, there is a check on the iOS version in order to decided what to use between PKPassTypePayment and PKPassTypeSecureElement.

Why there is no check on this method ? this may be why i don't catch any pass

hello @alexisGandar
I will look into this and update here. This could be served in the upcoming version update once a solution is presented.

Thanks for using cordova apple wallet plugin.

Hey @tomavic 👋 , I'm also trying to use checkPairedDevicesBySuffix in my current cordova project.
I can confirm that cards are connected to Apple Wallet, but response is always false.
Do you think it's because of deprecated PKPassTypePayment or something else could be wrong?

Hey @peckz Let me check and once I find solution will post here. Please feel free to share the solution if you found it. As I don't have the time to maintain the plugin at the mean time.

You can try to use this SDK and the method getActionsAvailableForCardSuffix.
This method returns an array of integer so you have 3 cases:

• 0 = ADD
• 1 = PAY
• Empty = pass is not presents

@thib-lambert Thank you! I hope it's gonna help to someone who stumbles at this problem.

We ended up using forked version of the plugin.
I believe it's this one https://github.com/viniciusgandrade/cordova-apple-wallet
Can't tell you more as I don't have access to source code anymore, but we made it work!

I really appreciate your efforts @thib-lambert @peckz as I don't currently have the time to maintain this plugin. Besides that, There should be an effort reserved for the capacitor version.

Feel free to create a PR with all changes you forked and I will publish a new release.

@tomavic No worries, thank you for initial effort of building this plugin.
Unfortunately I was not the guy who forked it (I just found another forked version on the internet), btw I have no experience with iOS development 😁 As cordova is slowly dying, I'm sure there are great capacitor alternatives out there.
