To create your own ticket for Apple Wallet, you can use the PassKit framework to design and implement a pass that can be added to the Wallet app. Here are the key steps and considerations based on the session "What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay" from WWDC 2024:

  1. Pass JSON Structure: Your pass needs a JSON file that contains the bulk of the pass content. This includes fields like the event start date and time, seating information, and any other relevant details.

  2. Visual Assets: Include an icon, logo, and background image in your pass bundle. New updates also allow for an artwork asset and a secondary logo to enhance the visual experience.

  3. Semantic Tags: Use semantic tags in your pass JSON to help the system understand the data better. This is crucial for rendering the pass correctly across different OS versions.

  4. NFC Entitlement: If you want your pass to support contactless entry, ensure it is signed with the NFC entitlement.

  5. Live Activities: By updating the pass JSON, your pass can start a live activity on iPhone and Apple Watch, displaying important information like seating and entry details directly on the lock screen.

  6. Event Guide and Maps Integration: New features include an event guide and integration with the Maps app, providing users with more information and navigation options for events.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Wallet pass enhancements section of the session.
