Retry the card reading session when the "Tag connection lost" issue occurs. #226

I'm frequently encountering the "Tag connection lost" issue. This problem might be related to the iOS version or the device itself. I have two iPhones: an iPhone 8 with iOS 15 and an iPhone 12 with iOS 15. The iPhone 8 successfully reads 8 out of 10 times, whereas the iPhone 12 only reads successfully 5 out of 10 times, often displaying the "Tag connection lost" error.

When I perform the same task using ReadId Me, I experience a similar issue, but it doesn't throw an error. Instead, it maintains the status and continues the reading session, eventually succeeding (8/10 times in ip12 too).

Is there a way to preserve data and continue the reading session when the Tag connection is lost? Does anyone have a solution for this? ~ see "Tag connection lost": https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118499

@LuuNguyen0811 I think it depends on how the library handles reading tags. In this library, it will throw exceptions when something goes wrong https://github.com/AndyQ/NFCPassportReader/blob/89813bafed0490d1dab17e1c2c243e41bebcd455/Sources/NFCPassportReader/PassportReader.swift#L247

So I think we have to retry the whole process.
