Hello!
Thank you very much for your WWDC NFC sessions! I really like the format and the information you provided in those session :)
I have a question regarding my app that I am planning to develop using an NFC technology. I tried to find a necessary information in WWDC sessions and documentations but I couldn't find anything that might be helpful for me.
The idea is simple. I want to use my app as the proxy between user's payments cards (debit or credit) and the payment terminal. The logic is something like this:
- User taps an iPhone to a payment terminal (just like in the Wallet) and my app reads the data from the payment terminal through NFC (merchant name, merchant category, amount to be paid, etc.)
- My app receives this information, does some formatting and other operations
- My app sends the user's card information to the NFC (a card information is received and stored in my app through some 3rd party service, like Plaid)
- Payment terminal receives this information and shows either the payment succeed or failed.
I am wondering is it possible to achieve this using the current API of NFC framework? While I am aware that the NFC framework supports the ISO-7816 standard, based on my research so far, it seems there is no way to achieve this functionality.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
