## Discussion

Discussion This method installs into the Secure Element an applet bundle that you’ve submitted through the Apple Business Register portal. note: If there is not enough space in the Secure Element to provision the new credential, the system shows a space management UI over the current app. A person using the device can use this interface to remove other credentials to free up space or cancel the provisioning attempt.
