Is it possible to place a label with text instead of barcode in a Coupon type pass? Something like this.

I would refer you to the [Passbook documentation](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/PassKit_PG/Chapters/Introduction.html). – David Rönnqvist Apr 09 '13 at 21:08

@DavidRönnqvist you'd rather not. Thank you. – Nikita Pestrov Apr 10 '13 at 08:58

In the early betas of iOS6, it used to be possible to have barcode type of PKBarcodeFormatText
, but this never made it through to the production version.
It is now not possible to replace the barcode with text. The best you can do is to add a code and use the altText key to provide a legible string below the barcode.

Thank you, i just didn't know, if that beta feature could be used now or not. The altText was a wasy, and now it seems like the only one. – Nikita Pestrov Apr 10 '13 at 08:59
