• pengwang: my pass is not add to passbook,but i can load it and see it
• PassKit: If I click your link, the pass loads and can be added to passbook. What is your problem?

Answer 1

After testing I have experienced the following (using iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1 beta 4)

in summary there are two issues;

• Your webservice is sending an invalid response to https://ap.loc.sh/passbook/?couponId=486/v1/devices/5bca731a5779527c406213e9a847de97/registrations/pass.socialPoint.passbook/486 (this should return an array of serial numbers, but just returns 1111)
• The pass that is being sent via your web service contains invalid data.

The following are steps were taken to diagnose your problem, I have also included excerpts from the device console log.

• The pkpass bundle successfully adds to Passbook
• The pass successfully registers with your web service

• The device then attempts to retrieve the serial numbers for all passes of the same certificate (pass.socialPoint.passbook) - this is a standard part of the registration in case the pass data is stale and needs to be refreshed.

• the device receives an invalid response, but will continue to retry.

• Manually refreshing the pass, reveals another error:

It seems as the pass.json of the second pass that your webservice is sending is incorrect.

Upon examining pass.json, there appears to be an error after the locations key:
