Reply to Apple Wallet VAS & NFC Entitlement for Approved Product Plan
Any update on this ? the same case with us on a span of 4 months we sent 2 requests and refused , no reason nothing . i mean all we want is the ability to use nfc on passes nothing else , no idea why this is so complex . with google you don’t even need a developer account and it’s for free , here we pay and we can’t even get the full functionality the passes offer , we got the hardware and the solution but we find out we need an nfc entitlement to allow passes to have nfc ? i mean our use case is very simple instead of having barcode on the passes we want them to be via nfc and we already got the nfc hardware but we find out we need nfc entitlement which we tried requesting but getting refused with no reason at all. at least tell u what is the problem what how to fix it not outright refuse without any reason at all. if anyone got any solution please provide.

Reply to How Can I Enable NFC Functionality in an Apple Wallet Pass?
HI @DeveloperSquillion, You wrote: Could you provide a comprehensive list of required steps to enable NFC in an Apple Wallet pass, including any specific details on encryption, payload, and public key formatting? The pass containing an NFC payload must be signed with an Apple Value Added Services (Apple VAS) certificate to be ingested into Wallet. You can apply for this NFC certificate here: NFC Certificate Request https://developer.apple.com/contact/passkit/ Next, you wrote: Are there any additional configurations or settings that I might be missing? Besides the need for the VAS/NFC certificate, the pass metadata appears to be valid. Then, you wrote: Is there any official documentation or specific tools recommended for testing NFC-enabled passes? Once you're approved for usage of the NFC certificate, please request more information about testing NFC passes by responding to your confirmation email. Cheers, Paris X Pinkney |  WWDR | DTS E

Apple Wallet VAS & NFC Entitlement for Approved Product Plan
So we are developing an NFC reader for a client and one of the requirements was Apple ECP. We submitted a product plan and it was approved and we were given access to the specific documentation for ECP. We are looking to only use Loyalty passes via NFC. Not Apple Pay. We wish to develop passes that have NFC capability and apparently you need another approval for NFC Entitlement. Apple just denied our application. No reason given, just denied. How are we suppose to develop a solution when we can only do one side of the development? Also we are seeing VAS mentioned and believe we also need access to this documentation as well, but no idea where to request it. Nothing in our developer portal or wpc portal. Can someone from Apple please steer us in the right direction. As we understand it we need: Approved hardware product plan (which we have) Access to ECP 2.0 documentation (which we have) Access to VAS protocol documentation (we don't have) NFC entitlement to be able

Reply to Request / Get contactless payment permissions
I can't speak to what App Review will think about this or do, but if your use case demands that the permission dialog gets out of the way before the first transaction occurs, then there is no other choice. It is not ideal because it might confuse your users more, when they see NFC activity out of nowhere. Perhaps more than having to have one extra tap at the time of the transaction - which will make them understand what they are giving a permission for.

Reply to NFC Implentation for Peer - Peer Device
Using the base CoreNFC it is neither possible to become an NFC tag (which you would need to for peer to peer) nor to interact with payment related cards (if you are trying to read/write bank cards) Currently there are several special programs that will allow apps to interact with payment cards/readers, and also emulate cards. You can read about the capabilities and requirements for these use cases in the following documents: NFC & SE Platform for secure contactless transactions Tap to Pay on iPhone which will need you to work with a Payment Service Provider in your region HCE-based contactless transactions for apps in the European Economic Area (EEA) All these programs have strict geographic and eligibility requirements, which you can find out at the above links. If you are not eligible at this time, no other use cases are supported. Argun Tekant /  DTS Engineer / Core Technologies

NFC Implentation for Peer - Peer Device
We are in the process of developing a mobile banking application and have a key requirement related to NFC-based peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. Our goal is to enable secure and seamless money transfers between two devices using NFC. Business Requirement: The application will provide a feature where users can initiate money transfers via NFC. The sender starts an NFC payment session from their device. Simultaneously, the receiver starts an NFC session to accept the payment. The sender's device should be able to detect the receiver’s NFC tag and process the transaction securely.

NFC-Based Peer-to-Peer Payments in iOS
Dear Community, We are in the process of developing a mobile banking application and have a key requirement related to NFC-based peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. Our goal is to enable secure and seamless money transfers between two devices using NFC. Business Requirement: The application will provide a feature where users can initiate money transfers via NFC. The sender starts an NFC payment session from their device. Simultaneously, the receiver starts an NFC session to accept the payment. The sender's device should be able to detect the receiver’s NFC tag and process the transaction securely. We would like to confirm whether iOS supports such a use case. Your guidance on the feasibility of this feature, along with any technical or policy-related considerations, would be highly valuable. Looking forward to your response.

Reply to Request / Get contactless payment permissions
At this time, it is not possible to separate the permission prompt from an actual card transaction. You don't necessarily need to use .acquire(), and can just start a CardSession as well, but anything else you do will bring up the NFC UI at the same time, so it would be more confusing to the users. At least tying the permission prompt to the presentment intent makes sense, as the user will be clear about what they are giving permission for. Argun Tekant /  DTS Engineer / Core Technologies

Need Help Creating Demo Video for NFC Functionality (App Store Review Guideline 2.1)
Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on an app that uses NFC functionality, and I’ve hit a roadblock during the App Store review process. The review team has requested a demo video that demonstrates the app’s NFC functionality in use, as per Guideline 2.1. Here are the details I’ve received from the App Store team: • The demo video should show the app running on a physical iOS device, not on a simulator. • It needs to clearly document the NFC-related app features, user permission requests, and how the app interacts with NFC tags. My Challenges: 1. I’m unsure about the best way to visually capture the NFC interaction, as it involves scanning physical tags. 2. Are there any recommended tools or techniques for recording a demo on an iOS device that complies with Apple’s guidelines? 3. Has anyone successfully submitted an NFC app with a similar requirement? If so, I’d appreciate tips or examples of how you structured your video. I want to make sure I meet all th

NFC iOS 18.0 slow
Why NFC tags shown speed is slower than iOS 16.0? After paying with Apple Wallet with iOS 18.0, it seems that it could only detect the NFC tags after 5s, it is the particularity of the iOS 18.0? How can it be quick as former version?

'NDEF is disallowed' Xcode 16.2
Invalid entitlement for core nfc framework. The sdk version '18.2' and min OS version '14.0' are not compatible for the entitlement 'com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats' because 'NDEF is disallowed'. Anyone knows what is the correct configuration SDK version and minimum iOS deployment target for NFC that has NDEF format?

Reply to Credit card ICC Public Key Certificate retrieval
It is not a matter of being rejected, but the basic CoreNFC functionality will simply not allow you to read payment related cards. You can only use Tap to Pay on iPhone by working together with a Payment Service provider that supports Tap to Pay on iPhone. Once you set that up, they will be the ones that provide you with the information you need to create this Token. You can find a PSP in your region here: https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/regions/ It is not possible to create this token without a PSP. If your company would be eligible and interested in NFC & SE Platform for secure contactless transactions you can check out the availability and requirements there to see if that would be a suitable alternative to your use case.

Credit card ICC Public Key Certificate retrieval
Hello! I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow. Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple. I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details. Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one? Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?
