It's not a compatible PCSC reader, so it doesn't work natively on Win and Mac (or Linux). libnfc has specific support for this setup.
Do we try to get libnfc compiled and running on Mac (probably ok) and Windows (not sure)? There is documentation for Windows but it's 8 years old. Still needs to be tested
This also raises a question about libnfc itself. It appears to be effectively abandoned. We are are already using a random fork of it with an unknown patch to get ACR122U working properly. Do we continue development with it on work that isn't already using it?
Another option is to find or create a custom driver for pn532 serial. Not sure how much effort is involved to do that.
