Core NFC working in beta 4?

I’ve downloaded the sample Core NFC application to try out scanning of a few NFC tag enabled items I own and so far no luck. I’ve tried probably 8 different cards and passes that I all know to have NFC chips and none of them result in a successful scan. Am I just unlucky to only have NFC chips that aren’t supported by Core NFC, or is it not functioning in beta 4?

Hi,

Normally, It works fine with iOS11 Beta4. I have tried with different tag types (type4, type5) and memory size, and I'm able to read them.

Please, check first that your tags contain data in NDEF format. Otherwise, Do you know what kind of tag you got ?

Let me know.

Hi,


I have had good readings from NFC since Beta 3, are you not getting any response from any tags?

Maybe you have the wrong type of tags

I believe the NFC chip is a MIFARE DESFire, and yes on further investigation it seems this isn’t using a compliant format. That might be the case for all of other chips I have access to in the various store and transport cards I have access to.
