You can use different certificates for different passes by passing a Signer class into your PKPass initializer. This allows for more flexibility in managing your Passbook content.

For instance, you might have a specific certificate for a loyalty pass and another for a gift card pass. This is especially useful if you're working with multiple partners or vendors who require different certificate types.

By using different certificates, you can ensure that each pass is properly authenticated and trusted by the user's device. This helps maintain the integrity and security of your Passbook content.

In some cases, you might need to use a custom certificate for a specific pass type. This can be done by creating a custom Signer class that meets the requirements of the pass type.
