How To: Activate “Passbook” App In iOS 6 Beta

With the introduction of iOS 6 at WWDC 2012, Apple demoed its digital wallet solution in the shape of an all new built-in iOS app called the “Passbook”, an app which is meant to let users keep a track of their discount coupons, boarding passes, loyalty cards and movie tickets. However, the app has not been activated in iOS 6 beta releases, including the latest iOS 6 beta 2. But now, a simple workaround has been discovered that lets users enable the Passbook app.

Here’s what you need to do in order to activate the Passbook app in iOS 6 beta:

Step 1:

First, open the PassSource.com website on your iOS 6-enabled device, and then select which type of pass you would like to create.

Step 2:

Fill in the pass with the correct information, like the card number and member name.

Step 3:

Press create.

Step 4:

It will then open inside of the Passbook app, which will make the app completely usable!
