Something Went Wrong - Google Wallet API Pass Creation

Question

I'm following the guide here: https://developers.google.com/wallet/generic/web?authuser=2 to setup my Google Wallet Pass Generic passes.

I have generated the following payload for my JWT, however every time I try to test it in Google Wallet, I see the following error:

This is my decoded JWT:

  "aud": "google",

    "www.xxx.com"

I have reached out to Google Wallet Support, however they haven't given me any useful feedback yet.

I also tried using the "Validate" functionality on the Google Wallet site, however it fails without any specific error.

Answer 1

I've been able to have mine working. Few things I had to make sure of:

You're using the private key of the account passed within "iss", make sure your payload is small.

Here what my JWT looks like:

{
  "aud": "google",
  "iss": "[email protected]",
  "origins": [
    "localhost"
  ],
  "payload": {
    "genericClasses": [
      {
        "id": "3388XXXXXX88.NameOfClass"
      }
    ],
    "genericObjects": [
      {
        "id": "3388XXXXXX88.<object_id>",
        "classId": "3388XXXXXX88.NameOfClass"
      }
    ]
  },
  "typ": "savetowallet"
}

tbh I don't think I even need the genericClasses object in the payload.

Otherwise the info to generate your JWT are correct, I personally didn't put the iat.

I hope that helps!

Edit: I tried and can confirm you don't need the "genericClasses" in your payload.
