How To Create a Simple NFC App With SwiftUI

Easier than you thought. Let's get started!

As Apple continues incorporating NFC technology into its devices, developers using SwiftUI are looking for simple and efficient ways to read and write NFC tags. This tutorial will show you a straightforward method for accessing NFC functionality in your SwiftUI app. Whether you are a seasoned developer or new to the platform, this guide will provide the tools and knowledge you need to start working with NFC tags in no time. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Preparation

Before reading and writing NFC tags in a SwiftUI app, it is essential to ensure that your project has the necessary dependencies. To do this, you will need to open Xcode and navigate to your project.

Select the “Package Dependencies” option to access the package manager. This will allow you to add any frameworks or libraries required for NFC functionality. It is important to note that this step is crucial in ensuring the smooth operation of your app when working with NFC tags, so make sure to pay close attention to the dependencies required and add them accordingly.

Go to Project > Package Dependencies.

Once you have accessed the package manager in Xcode, you will need to add the NFC framework to your project. This can be done by searching for “https://github.com/1998code/SwiftNFC” in the package manager and selecting the appropriate framework for your project. It is essential to ensure that you are using the latest framework version to ensure compatibility with your app.

After choosing the framework, click the “Add Package” button to add it to your project. With the SwiftNFC framework now added to your project, you can implement SwiftNFC functionality in your SwiftUI app.

Add to your project via Package Manager.

To use the NFC within your app, you will need to add the “Near Field Communication Tag Reading” capability to your project. To do this, navigate to the Signing & Capabilities tab…
