==========

**Passbook signing utility for PHP**

PassSigner is both a library and a CLI tool to sign and verify Apple's Passbook package files (`*.pkpass`).

With PassSigner you can:

- Sign and zip a raw pass directory
- Unzip and verify a signed pass

Sign and Zip a Raw Pass Directory
---------------------------------

[](#sign-and-zip-a-raw-pass-directory)

```
$ /path/to/signpass -p /my/pass/directory -c /path/to/MyCert.pem -w  -o /dest/PassFile.pkpass

```

**Important**: in order to generate and sign a pass you need to **obtain a valid pass certificate from Apple**. Certificates are issued to registered iOS developers (any paid plan).

Unzip and Verify a Signed Pass
------------------------------

[](#unzip-and-verify-a-signed-pass)

```
$ /path/to/signpass -v /path/to/PassFile.pkpass

```
