iOS 18.1 NFC/SE APIs - access to applet deployed onto SE
Apple is opening up NFC and SE APIs to developers on iOS18.1 in certain territories. The documentation mentions that NFC & SE Platform partners can submit an applet for installing into the Secure Element. When a request is made by an iOS app to provision a card, the signed applet corresponding to the card scheme will be downloaded into the iPhone and personalised by the platform partner servers. Would it be possible to access the applet through SE APIs? If yes, would the access be open to any iOS app that has the granted HCE entitlement to the card scheme (e.g AIDs). Or is access limited to only the iOS app that create/published the applet? From the document (excerpt below), it looks like any iOS app with the HCE entitlement to the card scheme would be able to use the applet. However it also mentions lifecycle management where an iOS app can delete the applet (or credential). Would be interested in getting insight into this.

Reply to Is there a way to disable NFC on iPhones?
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.

Reply to Core NFC How to detect if the phone has NFC
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

Reply to NFC tag we are testing goes to Apple Pay on my iPhone 8, instead of the URL we want.
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

NFC or a visual code are required to confirm a user's location.

Reply to Read Debit/Credit Card data using 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.
