I don't think they've done enough testing to iron out all the kinks on the edge cases from my experience. 😀

Not surprising given the speed that the whole thing has been knocked up in.

richms:

Done 3 more people at work, 2 iphones and one android. Absolutely no issues at all, added straight into the wallet on iphone and google pay for android when opening the link from the email. Only saw one too many requests prompt thru the whole process. I would say they have done an excellent job with this.

Updated story today suggests it was triggering DDoS measures on the cloud providers. Both sides of the candle (Azure and AWS) so both have had to find the middle ground to not cancel each other out and improve based on the demand.

dan:

Huawei P30 trying to add it sticks you in a browser loop where you cannot click "accept" it redirects to quickly before you can click it

-solution is to switch to the pay app manually after entering your phone password, and click accept

Added to both OPPO and Huawei P30 without any of this happening.

I wonder if some have changed the default apps for some links before.

Oblivian: Other tin foilers won't, but I'm not against membership (gym etc) having my face on a system and a custom self validation.
Walk up to scanner and monitor. Blip.. noise for validation. Pic lookup of my id/image staff facing
Save time of manual licence checks against it.
Though it poses an issue for single buyer's of multiple event tickets

The situation I'm trying to solve is similar to a gym in that members already have 1D barcoded passcards to sign in and out.

Now, they'll able to scan their My Vaccine Pass at any time, on the same table-top scanner (upgraded to a 1D/2D type). That will locate their member record using the name fields and enter a new expiry date. From then on they'll be able to enter the facility using their normal card up until that expiry date.

The only issue I'll run into is that their member names may not match exactly due to the use of nicknames and that givenName in the Pass seems to be both first and middle names together. Despite being a beginner at python, thanks to the work of others and some advice here I've been able to cobble together a solution that in most cases will automate the whole process.

Just be aware that you will need to have express permission from people to store an expiry date (or anything else in the QR code). Without that permission you will need to scan their QR code on every entry.

jamesrt:

As an experiment, I tried to "add" (scan) the QR Code from the official PDF into Stocard; the app scanned the code, and it does use that to generate a QR code-based "card", and the QR Code does look very similar to the naked eye.

However when selecting that card, you just get ONLY the QR code - none of the other detail that is displayed in the Google Wallet (name, valid/expiry dates, etc) are shown - so whilst it may TECHNICALLY work, I'd imagine you'd get a lot of suspicious looks if you actually tried to use that out in the real world; because the whole thing is so visually different...

If you scan that code you put into Stocard with something like https://nz-covid-pass.github.io/web-nz-covid-pass-decoder/ which is effectively what will be happening once the passport comes into use, you get to see the validity dates, name, date of birth, who issued the certificate, the unique identifier and that the code has a verified signature. This is exactly the same information you see when you scan the QR code on the certificate.

The only advantage I see by using Google Pay or the Apple wallet is the process to add the Covid Pass is supposed to be simple/easy, except it's not always.

Do you have a certified device, or are you disabling screen lock or anything like that in between.

It's happened a couple of times on my S10+ as well. No security is being disabled at any point.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Odd. Still hangs about on the P20. And that's known for aggressive killing things in the name of power

It's the shortcut directly to the Covid pass itself that's disappearing from the home screen. Certainly strange behaviour, but not a huge deal for me. Probably easier to just have the Google Pay shortcut there instead, if it keeps happening.

Turns out its not isolated.

Same issue in aus

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comments/q6wyr3/google_pay_shortcut_on_home_screen_disappearing/

And others where google pay goes totally, have been beta OS release's doing periodic checks by looks.

Just sorted out my 13 year old. Registered with her email directly and verified identity with her passport and had the email in her mailbox in less than a minute. So that is 3 for 3 for my kids 12-18.

And of course today it is running really smoothly as the initial load of anti-plaguers have already signed up.

Just requested wife's pass and loaded into Google Pay. Logging and adding to Google Pay took less than a minute.
