Invalid entitlement for core nfc framework. The sdk version '18.2' and min OS version '14.0' are not compatible for the entitlement 'com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats' because 'NDEF is disallowed'. Anyone knows what is the correct configuration SDK version and minimum iOS deployment target for NFC that has NDEF format?

Hello! I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow. Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple. I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details. Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one? Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?

Hi, could you please help on the following points : Does iOS supports HCE Felica emulation support in Japan? Does iOS supports Felica card emulation using NFC & SE platform ? Thanks

Hello, I've been working recently on an access card type appllication, where due to requirements HCE must be used. I started with examples from the official documentation and was able to achieve correct communication. The HCE is working on newer versions of iOS, there's only one problem: acquiring new intent assertion. Due to the business requirements our users may need to use our application multiple times in short periods of time (below 10 seconds apart). Is there any possibility to shorten the required 15 seconds before acquiring a new intent assertion? I appreciate any suggestions.

Hi everyone, I'm working on an NFC-related app using CoreNFC with APDU commands to read and write tags. I’ve encountered an issue when trying to handle the scenario where the user cancels the NFC session. Here’s what’s happening: When a user cancels the NFC session manually (e.g., by tapping "Cancel"), I see an error log indicating tagReaderSession|userCancelled. However, when I explicitly call session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") in my code to handle a scenario where no tag is detected, the session still shows the error as userCancelled instead of my custom error message. This behavior is confusing both in terms of debugging and for providing feedback to users, as I expect my custom message to appear instead of the generic "user cancelled" message. func tagReaderSessionDidBecomeActive(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession) { // Session becomes active } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCTag]) { // Handle tag detection logic } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: Error) { print("Session invalidated with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } func handleNoTagDetected(session: NFCTagReaderSession) { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") } I call handleNoTagDetected(session:) explicitly when no tag is detected, expecting the custom error message to show. However, the system still shows the cancellation error. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is this the intended behavior for CoreNFC, or am I missing something in my implementation? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

To apply for NFC & SE Platform entitlement, I need to provide information regarding licensed applets and TSM. However, I currently lack background knowledge in these areas. Could you provide me with an overview or examples of what licensed applets and TSM entail?

I am trying to find solutions past 4 days. but not getting any reference about NFC implementation in my app to read Debit/Credit card upon user consent? Can you confirm apple is provided any api for read Debit/Credit card using NFC or not. Tried with normal NFCReader but it reads only for normal tags but nothing with Visa/ MasterCard cards. Looking forward some help from you. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am working on creating an NFC-enabled Apple Wallet pass but have been unable to get the NFC functionality to work. While the pass itself adds to Wallet without issues, the NFC feature does not activate. Here’s a summary of what I’ve done: 1. Developer Setup: Registered a Pass Type ID in my Apple Developer account. Generated and installed the Pass Type ID certificate. Installed the latest WWDR certificate. 2. Pass JSON Configuration: My pass.json file includes the following NFC configuration: "nfc": { "message": "Tap to unlock door", "encryptionPublicKey": "MY_ENCRYPTION_PUBLIC_KEY", "payload": "encrypted_nfc_payload" } 3. Testing Results: When the pass includes the nfc field, it adds to Wallet but NFC does not work. If I remove the nfc field, the pass works fine (minus NFC, of course). What I Need Help With: 1. A step-by-step guide for correctly implementing NFC in Wallet passes, including details about encryption, key generation, and any additional setup steps. 2. Information on whether there are specific device or iOS version requirements for NFC-enabled passes. If there are any prerequisites or specific configurations I might be missing, please let me know. I’d really appreciate detailed guidance or resources that could help resolve this issue. Thank you!

I'm creating an app using CoreNFC to communicate with a device. Initial communication works as intended, but the last response from the device fails after authentication is finished. When I respond with the last response in my .received(): try await cardAPDU.respond(response: responseAPDU) It goes through, but then .readerDeselected is triggered. Looking in the more detailed errors in console is see the following: -[_NFCardSession validateReceivedAPDU:]:236 Invalid ISO7816 APDU detected, (null) Note: The same behviour works as intended on Android, so the response should be fine from the device.

I've started building an app that uses NFC to communicate towards a device. The initial communication is being triggered as intended, the last step of authentication is sent the connection seems to drop with the message: -[_NFCardSession validateReceivedAPDU:]:236 Invalid ISO7816 APDU detected, (null) The same response has been validated on an Android device and the process works fine there, but .readerDeselected is triggered instead of .received with cardAPDU. Any way to see which part of the validation that fails? Best regards

Hi, We are developing an Enterprise SSO extension for use by our customers. It is working well for username/password. We would like to use external security tokens such as Yubikey, via NFC. This works well inside the container app. However, it looks like NFC might not be available to the SSO extension? The container app is signed with an NFC entitlement, and has the relevant key in the plist for a prompt to show the user. We use a 3rd party package called Yubikit to communicate with the Yubikey in the container app... all good. In the trial I did, I had the SSO appex configured as a Credential extension. I have a demo/sample host app that uses this service, that mirrors what our customer's apps will do. Currently, due to limitations in the server we are connecting to, instead of relying on a 401 authentication challenge, I am "manually" activating the enterprise SSO credential appex using ASAuthorizationSingleSignOnProvider, then our customer's host app will use the token the SSO appex returns for authenticating its API calls. This is working perfectly for the username/password scenario. However some of our customers are very security conscious and require hardware tokens. When I drive the same code in the contained SSO Enterprise app extension, and attempt to activate the NFC reader the same way, it seems like it doesn't have access to NFC? I attempted to add the entitlement to the appex as well but it wasn't even available on the list of entitlements! This leads me to suspect that iOS doesn't allow the SSO appex process to have access to the NFC reader, and there's no way to do what I'm attempting? Note: it is easy for us to move to using a Redirect extension instead if this is the answer, but it doesn't seem that it's likely to help? What is the recommended approach here? Regards, Carl

Hello, I want to set a text as the NFC tag of the current phone, and then read the content of the current tag through NFC sharing or other iPhones. Ask if there is a suitable API, or interface.

On the post of NFC & SE Platform for secure contactless transactions, the API details are clearly mentioned. Will the same core NFC APIs be used here or we will get to know the new APIs of NFC & SE Platform only after entering into agreement with apple? Any documentation of APIs of NFC & SE Platform will be helpful.

Hi folks, I have trouble with reading NFC tag in background while my application is running. I still receives a message in my iPhone 13, NFC tag of web Open "donator.cz" in application Safari.

Hi, I am searching for the possibilities to enable one of my app to be able to read NFC cards, my observation based on my search resulted that the app should be first 'entitled' (special permissions) by Apple, which I am unaware of its procedures, can anyone please shed some light on its forward path?

I am trying to implement Tap-To-Pay in my app. I want to use this feature to be able to read my debit card details and pass it to my payment processor SDK Cybersource to securely do the payment. I tried following this documentation https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/#regions I want to know if this implementation is possible or not? If it is possible can you guide me the process on how to read card data? Thanks

Hi, for https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc/cardsession/, is the Select PPSE APDU forwarded to the 3rd party payment app for processing? The use case is to provide a specific list of AIDs controlled by the app rather than all the AIDs registered under the app's entitlement.

Hello. I have NFC tags that I scan before walking my dog, that set off a list of shortcuts. The shortcuts have been failing the last couple of weeks but were fine before that. seems to be a problem with linking to starting a walk in apple watch workouts?! I have the latest iOS 18 public beta running (18.1) and watchOS 11.0.1
