Feitian iR301 SmartCard Reader Does not Get Powered On When Connecting to iOS Device #54

bikashpoudel17 commented 1 month ago

I purchased two Feitian USB-C iR301 smart card readers. When I connect it to my MAC and ran tests using PCSC tool. But, when I connect it to my iPhone (which has lightning port) using a USB-C to Lightning Dongle, the smart card reader did not get powered on. I tried on my Nokia Phone which has iReader and has USB-C port, I experience similar issue. Am I missing anything?

I was able to connect it to my iPad which has USB-C port and able to interact with the card reader using iReader App. on iPhone or Android phone with iReader App, the App says "No Reader Connected" and the Power LED is off in the card.

If i don't tell a mistake, the reader with lithning cannot be compatible with iPhone with usb-c port (even with a dongle). You must use the usb-c reader from feitian on iphone with usb-c port.

You are right. The main reason is lightning definition is totally different than Type-C, so even go with adapter, it must be customized adapter.

Thanks.

I am developing an iOS App in React Native. It is a crypto app. I am using the secure element in my JCOS smart card to perform some cryptographic functions. I looked into the demo applications provided with the SDK. What is the preferred way to use the iOS SDK for react-native? This is the approach I took: I have a FeitianSmartcardReader.swift file that calls the APIs in the wincards.h. I used the bridging header file to import the .h files from the SDK. Then, I use a bridge.m file to export the APIs to react native. Finally, I have a smartcardreader.js that provides all the APIs to connect and sendData to the smart card. Is there a better way?

I tested on iPhone 16 that has USB-C, it worked fine. I was able to use the iReader App to interact with the smart card.
