# isPassLibraryAvailable()

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the pass library is available.

## Declaration

```swift
class func isPassLibraryAvailable() -> Bool
```

## Return Value

Return Value true if the pass library is available; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method exists because the pass library may be unavailable even if the PKPassLibrary class exists. note: Don’t use this method to determine whether the user can add passes on the device. A device may have a pass library, but still not be able to add passes. Use the PKAddPassesViewController class’s canAddPasses() method instead.
