I got concert tickets, and the Ticketmaster app says that I must add the ticket to Google Wallet in order to access it.
I managed to add the ticket (after many hoops), and now Google Wallet is telling me:
"To use this pass, set Google Wallet as your default wallet," and it gives me a button that says "Set as default."
Here's the problem: Whenever I press "Set as default," Google Wallet just crashes. Every time.
For context, I'm doing this all in the Private Space. I gave Play Services Phone and SMS permissions, downloaded Chrome, turned off my VPN, even enabled Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode for Wallet and Ticketmaster. Google Wallet still crashes, and I cannot access my ticket. I tried setting it as the default wallet app manually. through settings, but interestingly, I can't find an option to make it the default wallet. It's as if Google Wallet isn't recognized as a wallet app. I wonder if this is due to a limitation of the private space. This is also the only method through which Ticketmaster is allowing me to access my ticket for some reason, but that's another story.
One final important detal: It appears my ticket is designed to be scanned not via a barcode on screen, but rather...via NFC. I'm aware that Google Wallet notoriously doesn't support NFC payment cards on non-stock-Android OSes (it even straight up tells me in the Google Wallet settings that my device doesn't meet the security requirements for Tap to Pay). But Google Wallet tells me that I CAN access my ticket after I set it as the default Wallet app, and even gives me the button to do so...it just happens to crash every time I press it. Besides, this is a concert ticket, not a debit card—surely my ticket isn't trapped in Tap to Pay purgatory too, right?......right?
Anyways, please let me know if you have insight on this problem, or any guesses on how to solve it. Really anything helps and is much appreciated. Thank you!
