## Discussion

Discussion Pass.Barcodes is an array of barcode objects. In iOS 27 and later, you can provide more than one barcode as a fallback. For example, if you provide EAN 13 and QR formats in the barcodes array, the EAN 13 barcode renders on devices using iOS 27 and later and the QR code renders for devices using pre iOS 27. Wallet supports QR, PDF 417, Aztec, Code 128, Code 39, Codabar, EAN 13, and Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) barcode formats.
