NFC support

[ArabAgile]

HELLO and thank you for this amazing effort.

I was able to add new card to the wallet, but how to add the NFC cards?

Hi @ArabAgile, Sorry for the delayed answer.

You can add NFC passes by passing the nfc key: https://github.com/WebEferen/flutter_wallet_card/blob/66384ca98052c78e2bd2a839dd47982ddc1a6aff/lib/models/PasskitPass.dart#L45

And the NFC model can be found here: https://github.com/WebEferen/flutter_wallet_card/blob/66384ca98052c78e2bd2a839dd47982ddc1a6aff/lib/models/PasskitNfc.dart#L17

Should be straightforward - except normal PassKit with plain barcode, use nfc property :)

Just a few comment for the next developer who wants to play with NFC enabled passes.

I attempted to issue NFC-enabled passes and read them with a VTAP-100 NFC reader I bought. In short - you, as a developer, most likely won't be granted the NFC entitlement from Apple unless your solution falls into a reward membership or event ticket with seating use case. May not be a deal breaker if your solution falls within those lines.

Additionaly there is a ECC private key required to decode the NFC response from the phone. Apple has limited the distribution of that key to only a handfull of hardware vendors. So you will need to work / partner with those vendors who will be reading the NFC passes. (Buying a VAS-compatible reader without Apple's key to read the response is a waste of time/money.)

Thanks @bobwith2bees,

You're right. I have personally done the NFC for the conference tickets and the entitlement was granted upon the request (with official documents signed etc.). As an Apple Developer you can be granted the NFC entitlement (but with limited scope) so that you can play with that.
