Thanks for the suggestion Loechel.

Apple VAS and NFC
Apple VAS Passes are often more that sufficent with needs of institutions, but Most would like to Switch from Visual Codes (Barcode or QR-Codes) to NFC. The Limit of 64 Chars, Payload is very limiting. Compared to Google Wallet (Google Smart Tap) where multiple kilobyte of payload is possible, (or at least 256 Byte), it would be nice if Apple would increase the Payload size for VAS. Yes Most Reader only can read up to 240 Bytes in one go, but there are possible ways to continious read (pagination) the Payload. As VAS payload is Not stored within the Secure Element, it would be good to increase it. Apple Access Most often does not provide real benefits. The price and requirements are to high for the additional Elements, and also limited to the benefits for Most use-cases. For universities and non-Profits VAS is The best option and should not be threated as a second Child or second class Element.

Entitlement Request: com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression
Great Morning, We would like to request the entitlement: com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression Use Case: Our application provides NFC-based mobile key access for hotel guests. When the device is presented to an NFC reader (door lock), iOS automatically launches Apple Wallet, interrupting the in-app unlock experience. We need to suppress Wallet presentation while the app is in the foreground to allow a seamless “tap-to-unlock” experience. Please let us know if additional information or agreements are required. Thank you.

Pass Type ID Certificate with NFC
Hello Team, We are currently implementing a digital membership solution across our gym facilities, allowing members to add their access cards to Apple Wallet. In this regard, we would like to request enablement of NFC capability for Wallet passes associated with our Apple Developer account. Our setup includes NFC-enabled access control hardware integrated with our gym management system, and NFC support is required to issue and utilize digital membership cards. At present, we only have a standard Pass Type ID Certificate in our developer account. However, we understand that NFC-enabled Wallet passes require a Pass Type ID Certificate with NFC capability. We would appreciate your guidance on how we can enable or obtain a Pass Type ID Certificate with NFC support in our Apple Developer account. Looking forward to your support.

Reply to Crash on CardSession
Pretty sure CardSession.isEligible() is not doing anything to crash your app. You will get this crashing error when you already have an active NFC session in your app. I would suggest to check that your code checks for previous sessions that may have not been closed, or perhaps a lingering variable holding the previous session that hasn't been released yet, etc. In other words, this is a bug in your code you need to resolve. Not an issue caused by CardSession.isEligible()

Reply to HCE not working in Testflight Builds
Hi Team, Could you clarify whether the Apple reference document addresses NFC HCE support across multiple regions? The document mentions that support will expand beyond the European Economic Area (EEA). We need to confirm: - Will HCE support be limited to EEA countries only, or - Will it also extend to the other countries listed in the document? Please advise. Apple reference document link: https://developer.apple.com/support/nfc-se-platform/ We tested the app in Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and we still have not seen successful operation with HCE. Could you please clarify whether HCE is supported in the specified region? Note: We tested in Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and received an “HCE not eligible” error. Please confirm whether this region is included in the list of HCE-supported countries.

VAS entitlement
Hi, I have the NFC &SE entitlement but still not able to read a pass from the apple wallet on another iphone. The logs show that the NFCVASReader session is initialised and the readerSessionDidBecomeActive — session is live, waiting for pass tap, but nothing is read. The pass is nfc enabled with correct encryption key. It feels like I am still missing some kind of entitlement to read VAS from passes - could anyone advise please?

Reply to My app has been waiting for review for almost three weeks now
@App Review Yes, the review has been completed with the status “Rejected” and the reason provided was: “The app contains hidden features. Specifically, this app contains hidden financial services.” I do not understand what this conclusion was based on. The app does not contain any payment functionality whatsoever. The app is intended for reading and writing NFC tag data. This is also not the first version of the app. In this version, the only significant addition was the ability to attach a photo image to a tag card, and nothing more. Please forgive me, but I am starting to feel as though I am simply being mocked. I strongly request that a phone call with an Apple representative be arranged.

UI layout overlaps in bottom sheet upon screen rotation during NFC Reader session
Hello I am experiencing a layout issue where UI components overlap in a bottom sheet during screen rotation while an NFC Reader session is active. The NFC Reader session initializes and displays the bottom sheet properly. However, if the device is rotated while this sheet is on screen, the layout breaks, and elements appear overlapped. I have attached a sample image demonstrating this rendering issue. Is there a known workaround to fix this layout distortion or force a proper layout update during an active NFC session?Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bottom sheet does not adapt to screen rotation after presenting NFC Reader session
Hello I am implementing an NFC Reader session in my app, and presenting the bottom sheet works completely fine. However, I am facing an issue with screen rotation. If I rotate the device while the NFC bottom sheet is active, the sheet does not adapt or resize according to the new screen orientation. Is there a way to force the NFC bottom sheet to update its layout or fix this rotation issue?Any help or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

App category for non-custodial crypto wallet using NFCTagReaderSession only for identity credential exchange with POS device — Guideline 3.1.5 scope?
We are developing a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet app with the following characteristics: Architecture: Users hold their own private keys at all times (we never custody any assets). The app includes identity credential verification: KYC-verified identity data (Verifiable Credentials / DID-based) is exchanged between the payer's iPhone and a counterparty device for identity verification purposes. NFCTagReaderSession is used only to exchange identity credential data via our proprietary, non-payment ISO 7816 AID with the counterparty device. Cryptocurrency transactions are submitted entirely over the internet (blockchain RPC), completely independent of the NFC session. NFC is NOT used to: Transmit cryptocurrency or payment instructions. Interact with any EMV payment AID or Secure Element. Replace or emulate Apple Pay or any payment card. Jurisdiction & licensing context: The app is being developed by a Japanese company for initial launch in Japan. While this question is posted from an

Large payloads like those accommodated by Google Smart Tap may lead to poor or degraded NFC performance.
