Why does Smart Scan say Pass Not Found for a valid pass?

The app configuration on the phone does not match the pass. Every scan belongs to one configuration, and the configuration decides which templates the app validates.

Steps

  1. Open the Smart Scan app and check which configuration the app has loaded.
  2. Confirm that the pass comes from a template assigned to that configuration.
  3. Check the barcode value of the template. It must be unique per pass, for example {passUUID}. The app cannot validate a value that is the same for every pass.
  4. For NFC, the configuration must belong to a single template with NFC enabled, and both the account and the template need NFC active.
  5. Scan a known test pass from the template and look for the entry under Validation › Scanned passes. If none appears, the app is not reaching the right configuration.
