I am using capacitor so how i can use that

[adeel399]

let flags = this.nfc.FLAG_READER_NFC_A | this.nfc.FLAG_READER_NFC_V; this.readerMode$ = this.nfc.readerMode(flags).subscribe( tag => { this.tgval=JSON.stringify(tag); alert(JSON.stringify(tag)) }, err => { alert('Error reading tag'+err) } )

here is my code to read nfc but on android 13 it does nothing even without your plugin that u suggest to use above..

@adeel399 in capacitor you can use cordova plugins https://capacitorjs.com/docs/v2/cordova/using-cordova-plugins

It worked but not for android 13

[EYALIN]

@adeel399 you mean that from Android 13 you cannot add Cordova plugins? or the plugin is not working from Android 13? if so, my forked plugin will solve all your issues https://github.com/EYALIN/community-cordova-plugin-nfc

remove the NFC plugin and add this:

npm install community-cordova-plugin-nfc
npx cap sync

it is a maintained plugin

I used that npx sync etc before it was not working on android 12 either but now its worked but on android 13 still issue i ll send u error

[sonikdesign]

I'm here for the same reason, I'm testing on Android 12. App closes. Working with Cordova-Android@12

[adeel399]

It gives alert of nfc avilable but on clicking read button nothing shows i have also added alert on error

[EYALIN]

@sonikdesign @adeel399 did you try the plugin community-cordova-plugin-nfc ?

[sonikdesign]

@sonikdesign @adeel399 did you try the plugin community-cordova-plugin-nfc ?

Hi Eyalin I'm tring right now

[adeel399]

@sonikdesign @adeel399 did you try the plugin community-cordova-plugin-nfc ?

Yes i did i can send u apk if u have android 13 u can check it

[EYALIN]

@adeel399 great. what is the error in logcat?

[adeel399]

@adeel399 great. what is the error in logcat?

Nothing shows

[EYALIN]

the app cannot crash without anything in the logcat

[sonikdesign]

@EYALIN your plugin works great on a device with Android 12 (OPPO A16s). I'm converting an app for Android from Cordova-Android 8.1.0 to 12.0.0. Target Android 13 (API level 33) is around the corner. Phonegap-nfc crashes the app with this new Cordova setup. Now I can read again nfc tags. In the next few hours I hope to test iOS too.

[EYALIN]

@sonikdesign sound great. follow my plugin so you will be notified on any change.

@adeel399 i think that maybe you didn't install it correctly ?

I did install it correctly and for my client its working bcoz he has android 12 but same app on my phone which is android 13 showing nothing ,

[EYALIN]

@adeel399 if an app is crashing you must have exception in logcat, please try to track it

[quiots]

Hi @EYALIN, I also have this problem with my Android 13 app with IONIC v6. The application crashes during the NFC scan. I installed your forked community-cordova-plugin-nfc plugin, but I still have the same problem; a SecurityException is thrown. Here's what I see in the logcat:

FATAL EXCEPTION: pool-3-thread-1 Process: com.abc.app, PID: 31842 java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: Tag ( ID: 04 50 A6 3A 2C 5E 81 ) is out of date at android.nfc.Tag.getTagService(Tag.java:388) at android.nfc.tech.Ndef.canMakeReadOnly(Ndef.java:344) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.Util.ndefToJSON(Util.java:41) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.NfcPlugin.buildNdefJSON(NfcPlugin.java:766) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.NfcPlugin.fireNdefEvent(NfcPlugin.java:752) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.NfcPlugin.lambda$parseMessage$10(NfcPlugin.java:721) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.NfcPlugin.$r8$lambda$Ex2eFqINoQ5KTuUzc8Ttwu00_-8(Unknown Source:0) at com.chariotsolutions.nfc.plugin.NfcPlugin$$ExternalSyntheticLambda0.run(Unknown Source:2) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1137) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:637) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1012)

Does this remind you of anything by any chance? Thanks in advance

PS : @adeel399 did you finally find a solution for your issue ?

[adeel399]

Yeah on android side mine is resolve ios stil having issue which @EYALIN working i think on

[quiots]

Great news

So no more crash on Android 13 for you ? you just installed community-cordova-plugin-nfc? nothing more?

Were you able to see in your logcat if the same exception was raised?

Thank you for your responsiveness @adeel399 !

[adeel399]

Yup , i never see that exception

[EYALIN]

@adeel399 sorry for the delay, i was out of work for a while. since the issue you have is with capacitor, it is more challenging for me to test it, since im using Cordova.

[minorityuk]

@EYALIN @adeel399 I am using the older version of PhoneGap with capacitor and just wondering how to install your version I have tried npm install community-cordova-plugin-nfc which installed the package but I can't seem to get access to NFC as it says modules dont exist.

Any steps that I can follow to see if this resolves the issue?

My issue is on Android ISO15693 pops out the tag id in reverse to a nfc pen I have and Apple products. I want to see if this resolves the issue?

[Dev-it-a-dev]

+1 having the same issue

[NityaSantosh26]

Hi @quiots , Did you find any solution for the issue or the exception that is thrown. That is resulting in app crash when the app is launched using nfc chip.
