# iOS 27 Updates for Apple Wallet Passes

Create visually rich Generic passes and use additional barcode types.

The Wallet API supports two Apple Wallet features introduced in iOS 27: the Poster Generic layout and support for four additional barcode formats, with fallback support.

* **Poster Generic layout** — Add a background image and at least one footer field to a Generic template to display artwork edge to edge across the front of the pass. Earlier iOS versions use the standard Generic layout.
* **Additional barcode formats** — Use Codabar, Code 39, EAN-13, and ITF-14 to expand scanner compatibility for Apple Wallet passes on iOS 27 and later.
* **Fallback barcodes** — Add a `barcodes` array to give earlier iOS versions a barcode they can display. For example, a pass can use Codabar as the primary barcode with a QR code as the fallback.

## Requirements and documentation

Poster Generic and the four barcode formats require iOS 27 or later. Configure both through the Wallet API.
