Ok, it is now working, the "Error" was not a Plugin.NFC issue.

The Line with the Full Path to the Entitlement.plist File in the VS Project File was wrong, there was no compiler error from .NET Maui for this.

<CodesignEntitlements>Entitlement.plist</CodesignEntitlements>

The correct Entry with path is now Platforms\iOS\Entitlement.plist:

    <PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios')) and '$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
        <RuntimeIdentifier>ios-arm64</RuntimeIdentifier>
        <CodesignEntitlements>Platforms\iOS\Entitlement.plist</CodesignEntitlements>
        <CodesignKey>iPhone Distribution: Example (GGGNYXS4N)</CodesignKey>
        <CodesignProvision>CompanyAppstoreSigning</CodesignProvision>
        <BuildIpa>true</BuildIpa>
        <IpaIncludeArtwork>true</IpaIncludeArtwork>
        <CreatePackage>false</CreatePackage>
        <IpaPackageName>de.example.hdl</IpaPackageName>
        <UseInterpreter>True</UseInterpreter>
    </PropertyGroup>

Sorry for the wrong issue, but perhaps others find this useful.

@hattmann do you want to create a PR to the README.md file so others don't have the issue?
