nfc

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.

If it is important for your app that NFC is supported, we would advise to keep on checking and gracefully handle the case where NFC may not be available to make sure your app works properly with all devices and iOS combinations past, present, and future.

There must be. We use an app from HID for NFC card readers on doors.

Hello would this change with the new update coming on NFC card emulation?

I'm not sure it's that simple, unless NFC is added as a device compatibility plist flag later*, perhaps.Right now, NFC is supported on the iPhone 7 & 7+ as you note, Core NFC is still beta, and it appears you would add support to your app via provisioning, where the store would indicate which devices are compatible, and presumably restrict download?See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc*Table 6 https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/iPhoneOSKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009252-SW3

Dear Apple Staff. I’ve done that and so far using NFC with a url i only get the card saying App not available in this region or country. When will you Guys bring back access to let us test fully app Clips with NFC like you did a few betas ago? Thank you truly!!!!!!

Good Morning Hi I have Just added NFC Permission in Info.plist and formats in Entitlement.plist will that wont be sufficient to launch NFC reader If No, can you share me a Sample .plist and Entitlements with corrections you have suggested. Meanwhile I will try from my end also to check on the suggestion you have provided. But sample would be really helpful to solve my issue. Thanks in Advance

I discovered the answer, my iPhone 8 requires an app to read NFC, otherwise it goes to Apple Wallet. My iPhone XR reads the code without an app and asks if I'd like to open the coded URL:iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR include a new feature for NFC that Apple didn’t mention on stage. The new models will be able to scan NFC tags in the background. With current iPhones, users must first launch an app to enable NFC Reader mode.more on this:There are some constraints to this system. Any NDEF tag is supported that ends with a URL that is registered with Apple’s Universal Link system. Background tag reading happens whilst the iPhone display is on (either on lock screen or home screen).Background tag reading requires the device to have been unlocked at least once since it has been rebooted. It also is disabled if Apple Pay Wallet session is active, if Airplane mode is enabled, or if the camera is on.quotes source: https://9to5mac.com/2018/09/12/iphone-xs-and-iphone-xr-can-r

Hı!I had the same issuse but i solved it by deleting nfc from UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in info.plist

Did you add the key in info plist for : Privacy - NFC Scan Usage Description

Power management is key, so power up nfc only when Siri is listening

Hi Rubenfern, I have the same problem. Even I added the entitlements file but still I get invalid session error. Also I dont even get the system popup window asking for taping the NFC Tag? Could you please let me know if I am missing anything. I updated the info.plist and also enabled NFC Read in AppID in developer account.
