I have attempted to read NDEF tags from Nintendo's amiibo with a minimal NFC reader built using the new Core NFC apis. But no luck. The amiibo is not detected and Core NFC seems to be completeley oblivious to the amiibo.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Has anyone managed to get Nintendo's amiibo working with iOS 11's Core NFC?
me too, not working for beta6...
I've been trying to work with the same thing. I was able to get a very basic identifier for lego dimentions characters, but it seems that the ID is the same on certain vehicles. I also tried scanning disney infinity, skylanders figures, and Amiibo as well. None worked, however the skylanders did light up when the iPhone was in scanning mode, which is interesting. This leads me to believe that none of them use just NFC, but rather some mixture of NFC and RFID. I am not very familiar with NFC or RFID so I could be wrong. Technically CoreNFC supports RFID, it just hasn't been implemented yet, so hopefully we will see that and be able to implement that into our apps. Imagine an app that changes the theme based on a scanned Amiibo (That's what I was working on).
