Is it possible to use NFC on the iPad?

everybody,

I am currently developing an iOS application. This application should make it possible to read NFC tags with an iPad. The NFC has already been successfully tested on an iPhone 7 / 8.

As soon as I test this function on an iPad (2017), the NFC dialog will not open and it is not possible to read NFC tags. The implementation was carried out under Swift with the CoreNFC.

Development environment:

  • xCode 9.4.1
  • iOS 11.x.x
  • Signing debug certificate available

Do you have any ideas?

Near Field Communication is not supported on any iPad models at the moment. CoreNFC on iOS is supported on iPhones from iPhone 7 onward.

An NFC accessory reader such as the FloBLE Plus can enable NFC functionality on the iPad.

Disclaimer: I work for Flomio, an NFC, BLE, and RFID company that specializes in helping developers integrate these technologies in their apps.
