Using Wallet.app to open doors with NFC reader
G'day. At my office the doors are locked with an NFC reader. We carry around a little NFC tag on our key chains which will read out a number and this then will open the door if the number matches a number in the database. I am tired of carrying around the tag, people keep loosing it, forgetting it and it would be nice to open the door using a Phone - which we tend to always have on us. So I used a credit card which is NFC enabled to readout the NFC information, added this number to the database and can now open doors using my credit card. This is pretty cool. If I forget my keys (most likely they will be on the desk but silly me left the desk without them), I may have my wallet with me. Then I tried Wallet.app on my iPhone and select the same credit card. However the door doesn't open. When looking in the door software I noticed that the tags will always transmit the same number. So does my credit card. However Wallet.app will read out 4 readings (or maybe just one very lon

NFC Secure Element / ISO7816 Entitlement Availability by Region (Indonesia)
Hello, I would like to seek clarification regarding the availability of the NFC Secure Element (SE) / ISO7816 entitlement by region, specifically for Indonesia. I recently contacted Apple Developer Support regarding the use of NFC for reading ISO7816-compatible cards. I was informed that, at this time, the NFC & Secure Element entitlement is not available in Indonesia. For technical planning and compliance purposes, I would like to confirm the following: Is the NFC Secure Element / ISO7816 entitlement currently restricted by region, and is Indonesia officially unsupported at this time? For apps distributed on the App Store in Indonesia, is Core NFC limited to NDEF and non–Secure Element tag reading only? Are there any publicly supported alternatives or recommended architectural approaches for NFC-based workflows in regions where the Secure Element entitlement is unavailable? Is there any public documentation or guidance that outlines regional availabil

Reply to iOS 11 - write to nfc
Tags can be read, not written.You can get details here :h ttps://gototags.com/blog/apple-ios-11-supports-reading-nfc-tags-iphone-7-iphone-8-core-nfc/What NFC functions are available?Only reading NFC tags is supported in iOS 11, not writing NFC tags or card emulation.Why just support reading NFC tags and not writing?In our experience, regular consumers just don’t encode NFC tags. Only geeks (like us) and a few verticals support it. In 99% of projects we have worked on (millions of NFC tags), the tags are pre-encoded before delivery to the consumer. The implication of this is that NFC tags must be NDEF encoded in order to be read by an iPhone.

Unable to write to NFC Tag using CoreNFC in iOS
We are using an NFC tag that complies with ISO14443A and B standards (ISO-DEP) and supports ISO/IEC 7816 security. We are attempting to write some data using CoreNFC's NFCNDEFReaderSessionDelegate. We can detect the tag, but when we try to connect to it, it displays NFC Error (Tag Connection Lost). We also attempted NFCTagReaderSessionDelegate, but we were unable to detect the tag at that moment. Note that we have included the Privacy - NFC Reader Usage Description and ISO7816 application IDs for NFC Tag Reader Session to info.plist. Tag Reader Session Formats for Near Field Communication in entitlements.plist Can you advise on whether the problem is caused by the tag we're using? Or the CoreNFC library does not support writing? Thank you for your valuable time and assistance

Inquiry: iOS capability to read EMV credit/debit cards via NFC (Core NFC) and acceptable alternatives
Hello Apple Developer Technical Support Team, I’m working on an iOS banking/security SDK and we’re trying to match an Android feature that reads payment cards via NFC (EMV). On Android, this is implemented using an NFC scanning screen (e.g., “NfcScanActivity”) that can read EMV data from contactless credit/debit cards. Could you please clarify the current iOS capabilities and App Store policy around this? On iOS, is it currently possible for a third-party App Store app to read contactless credit/debit cards using Core NFC (i.e., accessing EMV application data/AIDs from payment cards)? If this is possible, what are the supported APIs/frameworks and any entitlement requirements (if applicable)? If this is not possible for App Store apps, could you recommend the closest acceptable alternatives for achieving a similar user outcome? For example: Using Apple Pay / PassKit flows for payment-related experiences Card scanning alternatives (camera-based OCR) for capturing card details (if all

NFC App's readerSession(didDetect) Not Executing
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

Request for Assistance with NFC-Based Door Unlocking Functionality
Dear Apple Developer Support, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance regarding an advanced NFC functionality we aim to implement in our existing iOS application. Our application provides a mobile access solution for businesses, eliminating the need for traditional key fobs by enabling door access via smartphones. We are currently working on a feature to unlock doors using NFC tags. The NFC tags will contain specific information for each lock, and users will unlock the door by tapping their iPhone to the tag. To enhance the user experience, we aim to: Bypass the NFC prompt that requires user interaction to confirm the NFC read. Unlock the door without needing to open the app. Our goal is to provide a completely touchless and seamless access experience for our users. However, we understand that there are certain security and privacy constraints in place. We are looking for guidance on: Any potential solutions or workarounds that would
