We had noticed “paymentCredentialsAvailable” is getting returned more from apple pay capabilities for some unexpected devices (our example is windows + chrome). Based off the documentation this should only be returning if this is linked to a wallet account w/ valid payment. From some investigation this appears to have changed from apple pay js v1.3.7 to v1.3.8 (latest). Previously the above windows + chrome example would return “paymentCredentialStatusUnknown” which is what would be expected in this case. Tried running chrome in icognito mode and clearing cookies just in case this check had some linkage to the apple account via QR code usage, but did not appear to affect the returned response. Unsure if this is a bug or a change to the logic, but doesn’t appear to be appropriately reflected in the documentation, also a change like this should not be appearing in a patch version. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi @Dwight55,

I was able to confirm that nothing has changed that would have affected the behavior of applePayCapabilities().

However, we were able to reproduce the reported behavior when the JS SDK is incorrectly loaded multiple times.

Could you please review your implementation and confirm if fixing the JS loading resolves your issue?

I'll investigate this with the Apple Pay engineering and product team directly. However, I suggest for you to file a bug report via Feedback Assistant so we can learn more about your environment.

Please ensure your report includes the following details:

Specific reproduction steps
System platform and version
Web browser name and version

Once your report is submitted, please reply here with the Feedback ID.

As a workaround until we determine the answer to your questions, you could temporarily pin the prior version (v1.3.7), if applicable.

Thanks I’ll submit that to the feedback assistant. We did end up pinning to v1.3.7 for the time being.

Hi Paris,

I was able to confirm that an internal utility was causing this script to get loaded in twice to the page. Reducing this to a single load does appear to have resolved the issue with this status.

Appreciate the quick feedback and support!
