iOS 11 - timing out on reading #297

Closed fairport closed 6 years ago

fairport commented 6 years ago

Hi Don ...

I am a total NFC novice. I get the impression that everything is working OK.. I see the screen telling me its ready to scan ...
but I am not sure what type of RFID tags I should be able to read with iOS. I have tried a couple of different types that I have with me but the device (iPhone 7) times out.

We're developing this app for a client who will be putting tags on trees in an orchard & they are asking us for the tag types they'll need. Could you point me in the right direction, please? Maybe an eBay listing perhaps. I have seen a number of different tag types there. The client will most likely be using Android tablets, but I want a tag type that would work with either iOS or Android I have only tried with the NDEF listener/reader option.

Thanks Roger Fairport

PS. Thank you very much for this plugin. Great work.

@fairport It's possible you have the correct tags, but there's no NDEF message on them. If you have an Android device available, try writing a message with NFC TagWriter by NXP. You should be able to use any NFC type 1 through type 4 tags. I'd avoid Mifare Classic tags since they're not try NDEF tags.

For more details on the tags, I like @erikm30 suggestion to reach out to NXP nfcapp.support@nxp.com

If you need more general NFC info, you could checkout Beginning NFC some of PhoneGap info is dated, but a lot of the code and info is still good.
