NFC Reader

Ionic Native
1

Hello

I try to read NFC tag to open an URL.

I have 2 devices :

  • Blackberry 10 with tagwriter to send tag
  • Iphone 7 who receive the tags

I write this code :

click() {

    this.nfc.beginSession().subscribe(res => {
      this.nfc.addNdefListener(() => {
        console.log('successfully attached ndef listener');
      }, (err) => {
        console.log('error attaching ndef listener', err);
      }).subscribe((event) => {
        console.log('received ndef message. the tag contains: ', event.tag);
        console.log('decoded tag id', this.nfc.bytesToHexString(event.tag.id));
      });
    },
      err => {
      console.log(err);
      });
  }

But it does not work. I get this message :

[general] <NSXPCConnection: 0x1c0109ea0> connection to service named com.apple.nfcd.service.corenfc: Exception caught during decoding of received message, dropping incoming message.
Exception: Exception while decoding argument 0 (#2 of invocation):

2018-03-26 10:56:45.766957+0200 MyApp[826:212809] didInvalidateWithError Session is invalidated unexpectedly (null)

Same if i use android beam and try to send image or website.

Can you actually access and use the NFC reader of a iOS device?
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/nfc/ says otherwise.

Hey

The github repo https://github.com/chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc says that iOS can access to the NFC now
