In apple developer site, enable capability for NFC

enable capability

in Xcode, add NFCReaderUsageDescription into your info.plist, for example:

<key>NFCReaderUsageDescription</key>
<string>We need to use NFC</string>

More info on Apple's doc

Additionally, if writing ISO7816 tags add application identifiers (aid) into your info.plist as needed like this.

<key>com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.iso7816.select-identifiers</key>
<array>
  <string>A000000151000000</string>
  <string>D2760000850100</string>
  <string>D2760000850101</string>
</array>

in Xcode's Signing & Capabilities tab, make sure Near Field Communication Tag Reading capability had been added, like this:

xcode-add-capability

If this is the first time you toggle the capabilities, the Xcode will generate a <your-project>.entitlement file for you:

xcode-add-entitlement

in Xcode, review the generated entitlement. It should look like this:

edit entitlement

PassiveAuthentication Add file masterList.pem to Project

Passive Authentication is now part of the main library and can be used to ensure that an E-Passport is valid and hasn't been tampered with.

It requires a set of CSCA certificates in PEM format from a master list (either from a country that publishes their master list, or the ICAO PKD repository). See the scripts folder for details on how to get and create this file.

The masterList.pem file included in the Sample app is purely there to ensure no compiler warnings and contains only a single PEM file that was self-generated and won't be able to verify anything!

Android

Simple add uses-permission into your AndroidManifest.xml:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />

Usage

import { scanNfc } from 'react-native-nfc-passport-info';

// documentNumber: Last 9 digits of cccd
// dateOfBirth: yymmdd
// dateOfExpiry: yymmdd

const onReadNfc = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await scanNfc({
      documentNumber: 'xxxxxxxxx',
      dateOfBirth: 'xxxxxx',
      dateOfExpiry: 'xxxxxx',
    });
    console.log('onReadNfc', data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

Sample app

There is a sample app included in the repo which demonstrates the functionality.
