How to use Web-NFC in Chrome for iOS?

I'd like to read and write NFC tags from within browser chrome or safari on iPhone and iOS devices.

Usage seems straight forward according samples and seem to work for android after activating the experimental flag in chrome. Chrome NFC Sample.

However I'm lacking the option to enable the chrome flag "enable experimental web platform features" on iOS.

How can I activate the web-nfc features on Chrome for iOS?

Solution

  • As of 23.11.2020 Web-NFC isn't supported in Chrome for iOS.

    For iOS 13, NFC is available for native iOS developers. However, it seems it isn't yet available within Chrome for iOS according to whatwebcando.today.

    Posted a comment within the Google Chrome Feature Request for Web-NFC to also support Chrome for iOS.
