How to create pkpass file dynamically in java?

Question

I am integrating Apple wallet functionality in my website.

As I understood, we have to create the .pkpass file from pass.json, signature and manifest.json...etc . But this is for static coupon, but i am generating the coupon / pass dynamically and want to create the .pkpass file also dynamically based on the customer details. I will create different coupon for different customers and should generate the .pkpass file.

How can this be done? How can I create a .pkpass file dynamically for a each row on click of an "Add to Apple wallet" button? is there any thirdparty service available?

Thanks in advance

I have used jpasskit library which is a opensource library available in github for Java. You can add the Jpasskit library to your springboot application via maven dependency, as below,

<dependency>
        <groupId>de.brendamour</groupId>
        <artifactId>jpasskit</artifactId>
        <version>0.1.2</version>
    </dependency>

Also you can follow the below step by step procedure to get the dynamic passes in Java by Rest API using Springboot frame work as described in the medium article.
