iOS equivalent of NFC AAR


Is there any way to open an iOS application from an NFC tag or tag emulator in the same fashion as the NDEF Android Application Record?

In my limited research, it seems as though the iOS NFC reader may not support most tags. Does anyone have experience with this topic?


Solution

  • iOS does not use the NFC reader capabilities of the NFC chip embedded in the iPhone. Thus you cannot read any tags with iOS. As a consequence, reading NDEF messages from tags or even launching apps through NFC tags is not possible on iOS.
