NFC NDEF_PUSH_DISABLED Error in Ionic 4

cordova
1

Hi all,

I’m am using Ionic v4 and Capacitor. I am attempting to use https://github.com/chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc to read and write NDEF tags (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CFXY8V/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_APeBDbM9T41J6)

I’ve installed the plugin as per instructions for using Cordova plugins with Capacitor, and the plugin itself seems fine. I have no problem getting information from tags. There is also seems to be a problem with Android Beam being on / off?

Upon trying to write to the tag when Android Beam is off, however, I get the following messages:

2019-09-01 18:51:50.563 4104-4244/io.ionic.starter V/Capacitor: callback: -1, pluginId: Console, methodName: log, methodData: {"level":"log","message":"NDEF_PUSH_DISABLED"}
2019-09-01 18:51:50.564 4104-4195/io.ionic.starter I/Capacitor/Plugin/Console: NDEF_PUSH_DISABLED

Upon trying to write to the tag when Android Beam is on, I get the following and nothing gets written:

2019-09-01 18:55:11.834 2987-7628/? D/SecContentProvider: query(), uri = 15 selection = isAndroidBeamAllowed
2019-09-01 18:55:11.835 2987-7628/? D/SecContentProvider: called from io.ionic.starter

2019-09-01 18:55:11.837 4790-4790/io.ionic.starter I/NFC: showMsg is false

Here is the code I am using to write data:

writeNfc(data: any) {
    this.scanning = true;
    this.presentToast('Setting up...');
    this.nfc
      .addNdefListener(
        () => {
          this.presentToast('Successfully connected NDEF listener');
        },
        err => {
          this.presentToast(
            'There was an error connecting to an NDEF listener.  Make sure you have NFC turned on.'
          );
        }
      )
      .subscribe(event => {
        const message = this.ndef.textRecord('test');
        this.nfc
          .share([message])
          .then(success => {
            console.log(success);
            this.presentToast('Successfully written!');
            this.scanning = false;
          })
          .catch(error => {
            this.scanning = false;
            this.presentToast('Writing failed. Please try again.');
            console.log(error);
          });
      });
  }

and thus writing is unsuccessful. The permissions are granted, NFC is on, and everything seems fine in the config. Has anyone else ran into / solved this problem? Does have anything to do with Android Beam being on / off? Thanks!

Solved – was using .share instead of .write
