NFC does not work with iPhone 11 and above

Hi, 

I am developing an application using the NRF5 SDK, version 15.2.0.

I am experiencing issues with the NFC while using an iPhone 11 or 12. No field events are generated. It works perfectly with iPhones 8 and 10

However, when I try with NRF SDK 17.0.2, the NFC works with no issues.

My project is quite far along and it is simply not feasible to migrate the entire SDK at this point. 

What are your suggestions? 

Thanks

Tim

  • Hi Tim

    This is likely due to the changes made to the NFC libraries/drivers in the most recent SDK versions. You can find details on these changes in each of the release notes for SDk v15.3.0, SDK v16.0.0, and SDK v17.0.2. I would suggest using ctrl+F to search for NFC to find the specifics in each of the releases. Implementing these changes to your 15.2.0 application should make it work without having any implications to the rest of your application, as the NFC library is rather stand-alone and independent of the rest of the SDK.

    Best regards,

    Simon
