Offering Apple Pay in Your App
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Collect payments with iPhone and Apple Watch using Apple Pay. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain AppDelegate → InterfaceController → PaymentHandler → PassKit APIs. |
| Main patterns | View-controller organization, Delegate or data-source callbacks |
| Project style | 7 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | Source-visible boundaries: DispatchQueue.main.async; none alone proves a background thread. |
| State/event model | No structured observation or publisher-scheduling marker indexed. |
| Key frameworks/packages | UIKit, Foundation, PassKit, WatchKit, MapKit; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels. |

}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into PassKit (Apple Pay and Wallet).
Ownership and state

PaymentHandler *-- Array : supportedNetworks
func o-- Paymentstatus : paymentStatus
Ownership evidence
Shared/PaymentHandler.swift:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
class PaymentHandler: NSObject {
// ...
var paymentController: PKPaymentAuthorizationController?
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
PaymentHandler |
PKPaymentAuthorizationController (paymentController) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
PaymentHandler |
PaymentCompletionHandler (completionHandler) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
PaymentHandler |
Array (supportedNetworks) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
func |
Paymentstatus (paymentStatus) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety
Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.
| Concern | Source mechanism | Verified placement or handoff | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Queue scheduling | DispatchQueue.main.async |
The source addresses the main dispatch queue. | Shared/PaymentHandler.swift:122 |
@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.
Reference code
Shared/PaymentHandler.swift:122 — representative execution boundary
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if self.paymentStatus == .success {
self.completionHandler!(true)
} else {
self.completionHandler!(false)
}
}State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies
Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.
| Category | Mechanism or module | Verified role | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source import | UIKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/AppDelegate.swift:8 |
| Source import | Foundation |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Shared/Configuration.swift:8 |
| Source import | PassKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/ViewController.swift:9 |
| Source import | WatchKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Watch App Extension/ExtensionDelegate.swift:8 |
| Source import | MapKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/ViewController.swift:10 |
receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.
Class and protocol design
Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/AppDelegate.swift:11 — representative type boundary
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
AppDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate |
PaymentHandler |
Handles callbacks or feature events | NSObject |
SceneDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate |
ViewController |
View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | UIViewController |
ExtensionDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | NSObject, WKExtensionDelegate |
InterfaceController |
View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | WKInterfaceController |
Configuration |
Carries feature or framework configuration | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
MainBundle |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
Merchant |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
AppDelegate (Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/AppDelegate.swift:11) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
PaymentHandler (Shared/PaymentHandler.swift:13) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
SceneDelegate (Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/SceneDelegate.swift:9) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
Configuration (Shared/Configuration.swift:8) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |

}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | InterfaceController, ViewController |
The source’s Controller suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Receives callback-driven events | AppDelegate, ExtensionDelegate, SceneDelegate |
The source’s Delegate suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Handles callbacks or feature events | PaymentHandler |
The source’s Handler suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| View-controller organization | Watch App Extension/InterfaceController.swift:11 |
A controller is the verified coordination boundary; this is MVC-style only where a separate model is present. |
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/AppDelegate.swift:11 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |
Naming conventions
- Types: Controller: InterfaceController, ViewController; Delegate: AppDelegate, ExtensionDelegate, SceneDelegate; Handler: PaymentHandler.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
applePayStatus,shippingMethodCalculator,startPayment,paymentAuthorizationController,paymentAuthorizationControllerDidFinish,applyDiscount,viewDidLoad,payPressed. - Files:
Shared/PaymentHandler.swift,Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/AppDelegate.swift,Shared/Configuration.swift,Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/SceneDelegate.swift,Offering-Apple-Pay-in-Your-App/ViewController.swift,Watch App Extension/ExtensionDelegate.swift.
Architecture takeaways
AppDelegateis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches UIKit, PassKit, WatchKit, MapKit through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
