IOS pkpass download multiple passes at once

So I've managed to have single pkpass working with download button. However I am looking for solution that let's you download multiple passes at once for example for multiple legs tickets.

there is that: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/walletpasses/distributing_and_updating_a_pass

which says:

Provide a bundle of passes to enable your user to download multiple passes at once. To create the pass bundle: Create a .zip file containing the .pkpass files for the passes that are part of the bundle. Change the extension of the .zip file to .pkpasses. You can distribute a bundle of passes the same way you distribute a single pass. The MIME type for a bundle of passes is "application/vnd.apple.pkpasses".

But I did that and it's seen as a generic file download, and not opening with passbook. Is there a a way to do it ?

For everyone else struggling with bundling passes, you HAVE to open them through safari... Otherwise, they will only appear as a file to download. On Apples site about pass bundles, Apple are stating that they can be distributed the same way as a single pass. But they fail to tell you only if it opens through safari... We're sending it as an email and have no issues with sending a .pkpass file and open it on an ios device with a regular email app, gmail app or outlook. But .pkpasses files can only be opened if you browse through these email services from safari browser.

I found out, it will be available for IOS 15. so it's a future feature. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10092/
