What’s new in Google Wallet- Google Developers Blog

This post details new features and enhancements for Google Wallet aimed at developers. Key contributions include: introduction of 'private passes' with the generic private pass API for secure handling of sensitive data (e.g., healthcare), 'demo mode' in the Google Pay & Wallet Console for immediate API integration and testing, 'rotating barcodes' for pre-created and synced barcodes that rotate at intervals, and 'account-restricted passes' that link passes to specific Google accounts via email address to prevent unauthorized transfer. A new 'pass builder' tool is introduced for real-time preview and configuration of pass styling, generating JSON for direct API calls. The post also highlights upcoming in-app verification APIs for use cases like age and identity verification.
