SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of reading and writing NFC tags on iOS devices, automating tasks such as scanning NDEF tags, reading ISO7816/ISO15693/FeliCa/MIFARE tags, and handling NFC session lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • NDEF Reader Session: Scans for and reads NDEF-formatted tags.
  • Tag Reader Session: Direct access to native tag protocols for ISO7816, ISO15693, FeliCa, and MIFARE tags.
  • Writing NDEF Messages: Writes NDEF data to connected tags.
  • Background Tag Reading: Continuously reads NFC tags in the background on iPhone XS and later.
  • Use Case: Ideal for iOS app developers looking to implement NFC functionality for tasks such as contactless payments, ticketing, or asset tracking.

Quick Start

Use the core-nfc skill to start an NFCNDEFReaderSession to scan for NDEF tags.

Frequently Asked Questions about core-nfc

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I read NDEF tags in an iOS app using CoreNFC?

You can read native NFC tags by initiating a Tag Reader Session via CoreNFC, which provides direct access to native tag protocols including ISO7816, ISO15693, FeliCa, and MIFARE.

Can I write NDEF messages to NFC tags on iOS?

Yes, you can write NDEF messages to connected NFC tags on iOS. The CoreNFC framework supports NDEF message construction and writing data directly to compatible tags during an active reader session.

Does background NFC tag reading work on all iOS devices?

Background NFC tag reading does not work on all devices; it continuously reads NFC tags in the background only on iPhone XS and later models running iOS 26+.

What iOS version and dependencies are required for NFC tag scanning?

NFC tag scanning requires iOS 26+ and the CoreNFC framework. You must configure your app to support these dependencies to automate NDEF and native tag reading or writing.

What NFC tag protocols does CoreNFC support for native tag reading?

CoreNFC supports native tag reading for ISO7816, ISO15693, FeliCa, and MIFARE tag protocols. This allows direct access to native tag data beyond standard NDEF formatting.
