I'm diving into iOS 13's new CoreNFC capabilities, and I'm struggling to get NFCTagReaderSession working. After setting up my entitlements and instantiating an NFCTagReaderSession and delegate I attempt to start the session by calling

nfcTagReaderSession?.begin()

. My session immediately gets invalidated with this error:

Error Domain=NFCError Code=2 "Missing required entitlement" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing required entitlement}

I have updated my distribution profile accordingly , I have followed the documentation here for my entitlements file: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_nfc_readersession_formats

I have also added the appropriate "Privacy - NFC Scan Usage Description" in my Info.plist.

My developement profile contains only one string "NDEF" when I enable NFC reading in capabilities.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? Is this just a problem with Xcode 11 or iOS 13?

Your entitlements file will need an extra string in the array, value "TAG", in order to use NFCTagReaderSession:

<key>com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats</key>
<array>
  <string>NDEF</string>
  <string>TAG</string>
</array>

I have modified my entitlement as you mentionned...but event with that I got error "Error Domain=NFCError Code=2 "Missing required entitlement" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing required entitlement}"

I guess this is due to my appId capabities : When you select NFC tag reading capabilities into your AppID identifier, do you have any configuration ?

Issue fixed by updating Apple Program Dev License !!!

Not able to read data from the NFC tag using SendCommand . the entitlements and info.plist values are in place.

I am able to create a session and connect to the tag.

I am experiencing the same problem as @VaibhavLaghane, where I am able to create a session and connect to the tag. When I try to send a command, I get the missing entitlements error. Did you happen to find a solution for that?
