Detect NFC tags and read messages that contain NDEF data.
SDKs
Your app can read tags to give users more information about their physical environment and the real-world objects in it. Using Core NFC, you can read Near Field Communication (NFC) tags of types 1 through 5 that contain data in the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF). For example, your app might give users information about products they find in a store or exhibits they visit in a museum.
Read NFC tags with NDEF messages in your app.
Allow users to scan NFC tags without an app using background tag reading.
property list key NFCReaderA message that tells the user why the app is requesting access to the device’s NFC hardware.
Create a reader session to scan and detect NFC tags.
class NFCNDEFReaderA reader session for detecting NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) tags.
class NFCTagA reader session for detecting ISO7816, ISO15693, FeliCa, and MIFARE tags.
class NFCReaderThe abstract base class that represents a reader session for detecting NFC tags.
protocol NFCReaderA general interface for interacting with a reader session.
The Near Field Communication data formats the app is allowed to read.
Read tag data, and save data to writable tags, by using the appropriate tag type interface.
Save data to tags, and interact with them using native tag protocols.
protocol NFCISO15693TagAn interface for interacting with an ISO 15693 tag.
class NFCTagA set of parameters you use to define the configuration of an NFC tag command.
class NFCNDEFMessageAn NFC NDEF message consisting of an array of payload records.
class NFCNDEFPayloadA payload record in an NFC NDEF message.
