nfc

If NFC is now essential, you need to create a new app. It would normally be better to make NFC optional, by continuing to provide the old behaviour on devices that don’t have NFC, and not adding it to the required capabilities. What devices don’t have NFC now? With some of these capabilities you can require them by requiring a sufficiently new iOS version which only runs on hardware that has the feature. One example of that was OpenGL ES 2. Apple do allow to to require a newer iOS version that excludes some existing users.

Hi vastmine1029! If you are looking to decrypt the payload of another organization's NFC-enabled pass this is not possible. The NFC-payloads are encrypted with merchant-specific key pairs (this is a heavy simplification of the security) and cannot be read even with Apple VAS compatible readers without one of one of these keys. If you are referring to NFC-enabled passes that were created by your organization you'd need to reach out to your IT admin or terminal integrator/manufacturer for the organization-specific public key as well as any necessary decryption info.

I have researched this extensively as well. iOS has a HCE (Host Card Emulation) feature. The proof is in the HCE function in Wallet to realize a virtual transportation The proof is in the fact that Wallet uses HCE to realize a virtual transportation IC card. However, Apple keeps this HCE feature secret so that other developers cannot use it. I think Apple is afraid that the HCE function will be abused. Especially since the HCE feature is related to money and keys. Android, on the other hand, is designed to be highly flexible, so the HCE feature can be used as shown in the video. If you want to create a system or app that uses HCE, you need to create an app for Android or wait until Apple changes its mind. One exception is a system that uses the iPhone as a car key. That is a world-class company like BMW, so they got permission from Apple to make it happen. Developers working for ordinary companies have to give up. As a backdoor technique, it may be possible to have the user register a credit card or transport

1 year later and it hasn’t been fixed? I’ve just updated to the latest iPhone update and still can’t read them I have to nfc readers on my phone and information on cards show on both but my own phone cannot read them

I dusted off my YubiKey and tried this out today. Here’s what I did: On macOS 13.2.1 with YubiKey Manager 1.2.4 installed… In Terminal, I found my Apple Development signing identity: % security find-identity … Valid identities only … 4) 4E587951B705280CBB8086325CD134D4CDA04977 Apple Development: Quinn Quinn (7XFU7D52S4) … I ran Keychain Access and exported that to a .p12 file. I then used Keychain Access to delete both the private key and the certificate. Back in Terminal, I repeated step 2 and confirmed that the identity was gone. I attached my YubiKey 5 NFC via USB. I elected not to pair it with my account. I use YubiKey Manager to clear out all the PIV slots. And then import the .p12 from step 3 into the Digital Signature slot (9c). (I don’t think the exact slot matters but that seems like the right choice.) I disconnected and reconnected the YubiKey, continuing to opt out of pairing. In Terminal, I ran sc_auth to confirm that my identity is online: % sc_auth identities … SmartCard: com.apple.pivt

Please Apple company add NFC tag reading functionality to the Apple Watch, just like all the previous commentators asked for. I'm sure we would even pay extra for it. Please do it before the Apple Watch becomes obsolete, like every technical gadget eventually has to. Do it for humanity now. Or, at least tell us that it won't happen or that we have to wait until the augmented reality glasses are proven a flop.
