Reply to Using Wallet.app to open doors with NFC reader
Through our work at getkisi.com, have a bit of experience with this topic: We manufacture NFC card / mobile readers and also allow to enroll 3rd party NFC cards including credit cards: https://docs.kisi.io/references/credentials/physical_credentials/third_party_nfc_credentials?_highlight=nfc When using credit card wallets such as Apple Wallet or crypto related wallets like you suggest, those will encrypt the credit card number and require a security decoding at the receiving end - in this case the NFC wall reader. The only way to use NFC based cards on wallets on Apple devices is via Apple Wallet as outlined here: https://www.getkisi.com/guides/apple-wallet-access

Core NFC Enhancements - Error attempting to read tag
Hello,I couldn't find a better place to ask about issues using the Core NFC enhancements in iOS 13.I'm attempting to attempt access to a simple smartcard applet on a typical smartcard. To the extent that this smartcard is also able to be a MiFare card, the MiFare capabilities of the card have been disabled.I'm have the appropriate entitelements and the proper AID loaded in the Info.plist array.I have NFC sniffing equipment which even shows the iPhone 8 selecting my application (which succeeds with a SW1 SW2 of 0x90 0x00).Shortly thereafter and without having made a call to my tagReaderSession didDetectTags, I'm seeing: Error Domain=NFCError Code=202 Session invalidated unexpectedly UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Session invalidated unexpectedly} in the debug console.Any thoughts?

Setting iOS to Airplane Mode (via NFC)
A client asked us to develop an app that can toggle iOS to Airplane or Do Not Disturb mode from scanning an NFC chip.Both the Airplane and Do Not Disturb mode appear to be non-public functionality, or even impossible from within an app without some special privileges.We are wondering if there is any way to get these privileges via a program.We've already looked into the MFI program, but we cannot get any further without having to pay the coface fee, while we are unsure if this is the way to go.

NFC Tags not reading anymore, Apple Pay fine
I believe after updating to ios15.4 I haven't been able to read NFC Tags anymore. I am on an iPhone 13 Pro. Steps: Unlock iPhone, hold NFC tag to back of iPhone (without case or other magnetic or metallic materials nearby).Default iOS behaviour should be to read the contents off the NFC Tag and display them / do whatever action is assigned. In this case, scanning does not work, and the iPhone is trying to scan but unable. No errors show up, but it's almost like the iPhone is not scanning anything at all. No 3rd party apps work whatsoever. Steps Taken: Hard reset, Total iPhone content erased and wiped, Updating of iPhone, updating of 3rd party apps. Nothing has worked NOTE: Apple pay works fine. I believe software issues and not hardware.

Apple Wallet Interference During NFC RFID Tag Writing with NFCISO14443ReaderSession
Hello, I am developing an application that involves writing data to RFID tags using NFC (ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, and FeliCa standards) for an electric vehicle charging station. However, I am consistently facing an issue where the Apple Wallet app is automatically triggered during NFC operations on iOS. This problem occurs every time I attempt to write data to the RFID tags, preventing the application from properly detecting or interacting with the NFC tags. Here are the key details of the issue: Device: iPhone (tested on various models and iOS versions) Issue: Apple Wallet automatically opens during NFC tag writing operations. Expected Behavior: My application should write data to RFID tags without triggering Apple Wallet. RFID Standards: ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, FeliCa. Code Implementation: I am using the Core NFC framework and NFCISO14443ReaderSession to communicate with the RFID tags. The same code works seamlessly with Android devices, but iOS continuously t

Can an iPhone be used as an NFC terminal to read Apple Wallet passes from another iPhone?
Hi all, I'm working on a use case where a customer checks in at a point of service (e.g., a cafeteria or restaurant) using their Apple Wallet pass (e.g., a digital employee badge). In this scenario, we would like to use an iPhone (with a custom iOS app) as the NFC terminal to read the pass directly from the customer's iPhone over NFC. I’m aware that Tap to Pay on iPhone allows NFC-based payment acceptance, but it’s unclear if similar functionality is available or permitted for reading access-type passes from another iPhone via NFC. Key questions: Is it technically possible for an iPhone to act as an NFC reader for a Wallet pass on another iPhone? If not, is this restricted due to Secure Element isolation or protocol limitations? Is there any Apple-supported path for building such a solution — or is certified external hardware (e.g., HID, Wavelynx) the only option? I’ve reviewed the Core NFC and PassKit documentation but couldn't find a definitive answer. T

Reply to Emulating NFC Tag using iPhone Device
Hi, this is done using the PKPass NFC Type... Using this, a pass in Passkit can emulate an NFC Card. BUT: You can only use this with an NFC Pass Type Identifier or what it is called like. I am from germany and know skidata and their way of thinking and love it! This technology of using a pkpass is very nice - but you need that nfc certificate. And I assume, apple doesn't provide any of these anymore. I have already requested such in multiple projects - but never even got any response! I'll contact apple support next days :)

Reply to Unable to read custom NFC tags on iOS 16.0 (iPhone 13 Pro Max)
Hello @larryr1. I'm not well versed in NFC, however reading the CoreNFC documentation, I see Using Core NFC, you can read Near Field Communication (NFC) tags of types 1 through 5 that contain data in the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF). and Your app can also write data to tags, and interact with protocol specific tag such as ISO 7816, ISO 15693, FeliCa™, and MIFARE® tags. Does your tag conform to these format requirements? —Jason.

Reply to The right way to extend UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities
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.

Reply to ISO 14443-4 Reading issue
Core NFC supports NFC-B and reading multiple messages from NDEF tags. Are you setting invalidateAfterFirstRead to FALSE in your NFCNDEFReaderSession's initWithDelegate method?
