Activate the iPhone Passbook App in iOS 6 Beta


iOS 6 Passbook app


To fire up Passbook, you'll have to follow the instructions below. After the entry information is created you can preview the functionality of Passbook just like a normal application.

1. Navigate to in the Safari web browser on your iPhone.
2. Choose a template and add information to the web form.
3. Touch the Create button and the browser will display a .pkpass file.
4. Touch the .pkpass file and the information will be added to your Passbook wallet.

You can repeat the steps above to add new entries to the iOS 6 Passbook on your device at any time. Until Apple adds full Passbook functionality to the firmware, this workaround will allow developers to test the capabilities of this new app.


Thanks alot for sharing this. Passbook is very very cool and I can't wait until it's common place and I can get rid of all this rubbish in my wallet.

I also came across a really efficient and easy to use site for more sample apps (including lady Gaga app):

Here's a little video I posted on youtube too: Hope this makes it easy (and as exciting) for everyone as it has for me!
