I am working on a simple app that communicates using APDUs as Apple opened up NFC and HCE Entitlement for the EU market. I got the entitlement for my developer account, I have the entitlements available in the NDEF and TAG values and also added proper AID value. Also added SKExternalPurchase and SKExternalPurchaseLink keys to the Info.plist. When I check the CardSession.isSupported and NFCReaderSession.readingAvailable they come out to be true. But when checking the CardSession.isEligible it's value is false. When checking the documentation for it, it simply says that A property that indicates whether the current device supports card session functionality. How can check the issue with current system?

I bought an Apple Watch series 9, but I'm not very comfortable using the standard Apple health app, so I decided to try huawei health. The question is, is there any way to sync your Apple Watch with this app? I am also interested in how to find out the temperature on the wrist in degrees, and not how much it deviates from the norm? And now a question for Apple personally: why should I LIE that I am 18 years old (I am 16 years old) in order to measure the oxygen level in my blood? Why am I paying 36,000₽ ($403.47) for two non-working chips?! One of them is NFC, and the second is a second-generation ultra wideband chip, which are vital for me personally! Don't be like Samsung, they can't find headphones at all through their locator if the case is closed, and you tell Apple that just use ultra wideband, users from Russia just laugh at you when you mention this chip, I've been looking for my headphones for 3 days. I'm sorry if it's too aggressive at the end, it just doesn't suit me that I'm paying a lot
In Ios 18 beta the NFC not showing and also not working please can fix that
Hello, (I apologize for my poor English.) I’m developing an iPhone application that uses NFC, but it’s not working as expected. I would appreciate your help in resolving the issue. This app uses Core NFC API and is designed to write the URL of my blog onto the NFC tag of another smartphone and automatically open the browser. This app is installed on my iPhone but is not uploaded to the App Store. In this app, I have implemented the following functions using the NFCNDEFReaderSessionDelegate: NFC Program(Swift) (1). readerSessionDidBecomeActive (2). readerSession(didInvalidateWithError) (3). readerSession(didDetectNDEFs) (4). readerSession(didDetect) When I run this app, I can confirm that the (1) function is called, but when I bring another smartphone close to my iPhone, the (4) function, which should be triggered, does not execute. Also, (3) does not execute either. How can I ensure that the fourth(4) function is executed? For reference, the iOS versions of the iPhones are
Thank you. Your understanding is correct, and I now understand that I cannot write a URL to another smartphone from my iPhone. After purchasing an NFC tag and writing to it, I successfully managed to write the data. Thank you very much for your clear and understandable explanation. I appreciate it.

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have a question, I understand that it is possible to generate nfc passes and add them to the apple wallet after obtaining the Apple certificate. Apple asks which physical reader is compatible for reading the pass, but is it possible to use an Android or iOS mobile application to read the pass ? Have a nice day. Kind regards,
If I understand your use case correctly, with your Write function you are trying to have your app become an NDEF tag. In other words you are trying to emulate an NDEF tag. Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the name suggests a readerSession is just that. It can read NFC tags. I believe you may have misunderstood the use case for writing to an NDEF tag. While it is possible to use the writeNDEF(_:completionHandler:) to write to an NDEF tag, that is all this function can do - write a payload to an existing NDEF tag. This function does not turn your app into an NDEF tag. What you are trying to do is called Host Card Emulation, and this is only available for apps that fit specific requirements. You can read the rules and requirements at HCE-based contactless transactions for apps in the European Economic Area (EEA) and follow the steps in the documentation to apply if, and only if your conditions and use case matches the stated requirements.

Thank you for your support. I update my app as below according to your advice. But the issue not fixed. iPad is still Incompatible Hardware. In project Build Phased, Link Binary With Libraries” section, CoreNFC.framework is Optional. Use NFC feature only if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone in program. import CoreNFC always exist. I upload the build to TestFlight but still I can't install it to iPad. TeestFlight app on iPad show Incompatible Hardware. Build Metadata in Test flight section on App Store Connect site show at Device Requirements Device Family: iPhone, iPad Required Capabilities: arm64, nfc The initial version of this app already App Review approved and released on App Store. does it affect update and can't change Compatible Hardware? Best regards, ziotreks

Does the issue still occur? If yes, run Diagnostics in the App Clips Testing on a device as described in Verify the configuration of your released App Clip. Additionally, confirm that you followed the instructions from Choosing the right functionality for your App Clip: To ensure a fast launch experience, App Clips must be small: If you make your App Clip available on devices running iOS 15 and earlier, the uncompressed App Clip binary can be up to 10 MB in size. If you make your App Clip available on devices running iOS 16 and later, the uncompressed App Clip binary can be up to 15 MB in size. If you make your App Clip available on devices running iOS 17 and later, the uncompressed App Clip binary can be up to 50 MB in size if it meets the following conditions: The App Clip only supports digital invocations — for example, from your website or Spotlight search — and not from physical invocations like App Clip Codes, QR codes, or NFC tags People use your App Clip in situations where a reliable interne

It is possible to have a single binary that installs on both. If you want the app to also run on devices with no NFC, the solution is to use weak linking, so the system does not attempt to load the NFC framework/libraries. What you need to do is weak link the CoreNFC framework manually in project settings, and then avoid using it if the app is not running on a supported device (check for iPad). To do this, you need to do the following: in your project Build Phases, the Link Binary With Libraries” section, add the CoreNFC.framework, and then mark it as Optional. This will prevent the app from crashing at launch. the next thing you need to handle is to avoid problematic behavior at App Review or in case a user installs the app on an iPad. For that, you could do a check of the UIDevice.current.model value and not engage any features of your app that would require the use of CoreNFC features. Keep in mind, that App Review will require the app to have some adequate functionality, while not using

If I'm planning to implement NFC payment functionality using a webview in an app, are there any specific Apple policies I should be aware of? The official website doesn't seem to have detailed guidelines, Any guidance or references would be helpful.
Unfortunately this is a very open ended question which is difficult to answer here without understanding what it is you are trying to accomplish. There are many factors and policy differences based on what you are implementing, for what purpose, and in what locations. In any case, to implement NFC payment functionalities, you will need specific entitlements from Apple. When applying for them, you will be able to explain in detail your product plan and any details, and if you are approved, at that point any policies with regards to your implementation will become clear.

I am developing an app and having trouble implementing NFC HCE functionality on iOS. From what I found, NFC HCE seems possible in the EEA, but I need help doing it in other countries. Is there any way to achieve this through a specific license or certification from Apple? Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently developing an app and facing challenges with implementing NFC HCE functionality on iOS. From my research, it seems that NFC HCE is achievable within the EEA, but I need guidance on implementing it for other countries. Has anyone successfully implemented NFC HCE outside the EEA? What steps or workarounds are available for this feature in regions like US or other countries? Additionally, is there any possibility of achieving this through a license or certification from Apple? Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.
