what f-droid or droid-ify wallet should I use? (programming.dev)

I just learned there's something called a 'wallet' I need to download to use public transportation where I live because I'm supposed to download the qr code there. I screenshot the qr code found in my profile but the company insisted per email I need to use a wallet, either google or apple (and this is android).

Several questions:

why doesn't it work to screenshot the qr code?

I won't use anything google related. What f-droid or droid-ify wallet should I use?

any other workarounds i should be aware of?

I've been happy with Catima.

I guess you may need to use some google pay alternative? If yes, afaik there is no foss option. For contactless payment with my phone I use curve, it does not require google play services, so while it's closed source, it should work on a completely degoogled phone. If you can't find a foss solution, I recommend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imaginecurve.curve.prd

I have no experience but FossWallet looks interesting.

FossWallet is only for Apple's Passbook files.

It sounded like your requirement could accommodate either Apple or Android wallet solutions. This runs on Android, add the pkpass file, you're done.

Took me about 30 seconds to install and add an old boarding pass. Maybe you be more specific in your requirements?

Here's a site to create a pkpass file.

Create a Pass - PassSource - Create passes for Apple Wallet (formerly Passbook) and manage your own custom iOS passes for Pass Kit for your business for free for iPhone and Apple Watch using PassSource https://share.google/mwuRrccpzeUCCyziO

Wtf is that link? What generated that? The site address is https://www.passsource.com/info/create.php

Ah, sorry about that. It's a redirect from Google, of course. You've got the correct URL now.
