Why convert PKPASS to MSWALLET?
A PKPASS file is a ZIP-based digitally signed pass bundle for Apple Wallet, introduced in 2012 with iOS 6. MSWALLET was a proprietary Microsoft format for a separate closed mobile wallet platform. The two formats were never interoperable, and the target format no longer exists in any current product.
