Sorry. My application supports Universal Links already. In case the application is running on the background and I scan a QR Code then application is executed and shows the proper window like here: See scene code here: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) { debugPrint(scenes: continue userActivity: (userActivity)) guard userActivity.activityType == NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb else { debugPrint(Different type then expected) return } // Confirm that the NSUserActivity object contains a valid NDEF message. let ndefMessage = userActivity.ndefMessagePayload if ndefMessage.records.count == 1 && ndefMessage.records[0].typeNameFormat == .empty { debugPrint(scene continue userActivity from Camera: (userActivity.webpageURL!)) guard let navigationController = window?.rootViewController as? UINavigationController else { return } navigationController.popToRootViewController(animated: true) let donatorViewController = navigationController.topViewController as? DonatorViewController

The time limits for using NFC (length of session, time between sessions) are hard limits that cannot be changed from within your app. All I can suggest is to file a feedback report, using the Feedback Assistant. and explaining your needs and specific use cases. Don't forget to include as much information as you can about the cases you see this problem with. This will help the NFC team to understand the real life issues developers are encountering and to decide whether it would be viable to change these timing limits.

Hi @jr9519 I’m in the same boat as you! My city, Barcelona; has also been looking into implementing NFC-based transit cards but hasn’t been able to integrate them into Apple Wallet yet. From what I’ve researched, simply using PassKit APIs won’t cut it for adding NFC transit cards to the Wallet app. You’d likely need to partner with Apple directly for this. Apple has specific requirements and partnerships for transit cards (like SUICA in Japan), which might include fees, technical collaboration, and certification. It’s not just developing the app but also ensuring the card system is compatible with Apple’s secure NFC environment. It might be worth reaching out to Apple through their business channels if the government is willing to implement the system. Otherwise, the hurdles (like fees) might be the reason some cities haven’t moved forward yet. Let me know if you’ve found any updates—this is something I’d love to see happen here too!

Unfortunately NFC cannot be accessed inside credential extensions. I can't answer with certainty, but the underlying blocker for this is also likely to prevent it to work in a Redirect extension. While we are aware of this already, additional bug reports are always helpful for the teams to understand the impact, and different use cases that require this. To file a bug report, you can use the Feedback Assistant. If you have any questions about filing a bug report, take a look at Bug Reporting: How and Why?

It is not possible for an app to emulate an arbitrary NFC tag using the basic CoreNFC APIs. While there are some other APIs that allow you to emulate NFC tags, those only support very specific cases for very specific types of cards, and have a number of requirements. It would not be possible to obtain the entitlements to use those for a generic NFC tag. Argun Tekant /  DTS Engineer / Core Technologies

You will use the SecureElementCredential Framework for using the NFC & SE Platform. Accessing and using secure element credentials is an article that will help you get started once your agreement/signup/entitlement process is completed. Argun Tekant /  DTS Engineer / Core Technologies

Can we use Core NFC API to read only the card number from the credit cards. The intention here is to read the card number and show in custom wallet app built using the NFC SE Platform for provisioning, instead of customer manually entering the card in wallet which is error prone.
