So we are developing an NFC reader for a client and one of the requirements was Apple ECP. We submitted a product plan and it was approved and we were given access to the specific documentation for ECP. We are looking to only use Loyalty passes via NFC. Not Apple Pay. We wish to develop passes that have NFC capability and apparently you need another approval for NFC Entitlement. Apple just denied our application. No reason given, just denied. How are we suppose to develop a solution when we can only do one side of the development? Also we are seeing VAS mentioned and believe we also need access to this documentation as well, but no idea where to request it. Nothing in our developer portal or wpc portal. Can someone from Apple please steer us in the right direction.
As we understand it we need:
- Approved hardware product plan (which we have)
- Access to ECP 2.0 documentation (which we have)
- Access to VAS protocol documentation (we don't have)
- NFC entitlement to be able to create NFC enabled passes.
Let me know what we need to do or if I am not understanding things correctly.
Thanks
