Hi,
Will iOS 11 allow NFC tags to be read when our apps are in the background, or only when they are in the foreground?
Assuming background is supported, will the app wake up and become the foreground app (and the screen turn on) if the user swipes their locked phone over an NFC tag? Or will the user need to manually initiate something?
I have a potential customer who wants to use NFC tags in a retail environment as part of a loyalty program. One thing the customer wants to do is subscribe the user to push notifications when they swipe a tag -- obviously this will involve some permissions UI the first time it happens. Is this going to be feasible?
Thanks,
Frank
