Hello dear Apple Devs,

I have an open feedback which didn't get any attention yet. It is a regression that appeared with iOS27.

Simple url schemes like sms:, mailto: and tel: are not getting recognized anymore by iOS with the system NFC reader.

The docs still say they are available and supported. Right now this leads to frustration because users reporting this to me and I can't do much more than giving feedback. Can anyone please look into this?

Have you tried this on the latest iOS 27.2 beta seed?

I’m asking because your bug (FB24975241) was marked as a dup of a bug that’s reported as having improvements in iOS 27.2 beta. I’m not 100% confident that it’ll fix your issue completely, and hence my suggestion to try it out.

I tested beta 27.2 (release candiate) and it's fixed. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully Apple acknowledges this bug in 27.0 & 27.01 and releases this update soon.
