flutter_nfc_kit 1.2.0

Plugin to provide NFC functionality on Android and iOS, including reading metadata and transceive layer 3 & 4 data with NFC tags / cards

Flutter NFC Kit

Yet another plugin to provide NFC functionality on Android and iOS.

This plugin supports:

• read metadata of tags / cards complying with:
  • ISO 14443 Type A & Type B (NFC-A / NFC-B / MIFARE Classic / MIFARE Plus / MIFARE Ultralight / MIFARE DESFire)
  • ISO 18092 (NFC-F / FeliCa)
  • ISO 15963 (NFC-V)
• transceive commands with tags / cards complying with:
  • ISO 7816 Smart Cards (layer 4, in APDUs)
  • other device-supported technologies (layer 3, in raw commands, Android only)

Note that due to API limitations not all operations are supported on both platforms.

Setup

Thank nfc_manager plugin for these instructions.

Android

• Add android.permission.NFC to your AndroidManifest.xml.

iOS

• Add Near Field Communication Tag Reader Session Formats Entitlements to your entitlements.

• Add NFCReaderUsageDescription to your Info.plist.

• Add com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.felica.systemcodes and com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.iso7816.select-identifiers to your Info.plist as needed.

Usage

Simple example:

import 'package:flutter_nfc_kit/flutter_nfc_kit.dart';

var availability = await FlutterNfcKit.nfcAvailability;
if (availability != NFCAvailability.available) {
    // oh-no
}

// timeout only works on Android, while the latter two messages are only for iOS
var tag = await FlutterNfcKit.poll(timeout: Duration(seconds: 10),
  iosMultipleTagMessage: "Multiple tags found!", iosAlertMessage: "Scan your tag");

print(jsonEncode(tag));
if (tag.type == NFCTagType.iso7816) {
    var result = await FlutterNfcKit.transceive("00B0950000", Duration(seconds: 5)); // timeout is still Android-only, persist until next change
    print(result);
}
// iOS only: set alert message on-the-fly
// this will persist until finish()
await FlutterNfcKit.setIosAlertMessage("hi there!");

// read NDEF records if available
if (tag.ndefAvailable){
  for (var record in await FlutterNfcKit.readNDEF(cached: false)) {
    print(jsonEncode(record));
  }
}

// Call finish() only once
await FlutterNfcKit.finish();
// iOS only: show alert/error message on finish
await FlutterNfcKit.finish(iosAlertMessage: "Success");
// or
await FlutterNfcKit.finish(iosErrorMessage: "Failed");

A more complicated example can be seen in example dir.

Error codes

We use error codes with similar meaning as HTTP status code. Brief explanation and error cause in string (if available) will also be returned when an error occurs.
