Description: While testing Core NFC functionality on iOS 26 beta, when the NFC switch is turned off, the system automatically displays an alert. The alert contains two buttons: “Cancel” and “Settings”.

Expected Behavior: When the user taps the “Settings” button, the system should navigate to the system settings page where the NFC switch can be turned on.

Actual Behavior:

The alert appears as expected

Tapping the “Settings” button does not navigate to the system settings page

No callback is triggered in the app’s NFC session

Steps to Reproduce:

Turn off the NFC switch on an iOS 26 beta device

Trigger Core NFC functionality (e.g., NFCNDEFReaderSession or NFCTagReaderSession)

The system alert appears indicating NFC is turned off

Tap the “Settings” button

Impact: Users cannot directly navigate to enable NFC from the system alert, making NFC features in the app unusable and negatively affecting user experience.

Device Information:

iOS Version: iOS 26 beta

Device Model: iPhone 14pro

App uses Core NFC APIs to trigger NFC sessions

Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as this might indicate an issue with iOS 26.

We'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include detailed instructions on how to reproduce the issue, and post the FB number here once you do.

(https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/712889) has tips on creating a successful bug report.

It would be very helpful if you could please go to https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/ and follow the instructions for CoreNFC and SEC Frameworks for iOS to install a logging profile on your device. Then reproduce the issue, and follow the instructions at the above link to create a sysdiagnose. And attach that to the Feedback report as well.
