How do I read NFC tags with Core NFC in Swift?

Reading NFC tags in Swift can be accomplished using the Core NFC framework. This powerful framework allows developers to interact with Near Field Communication (NFC) tags to read their data. Below is a simple example of how to implement NFC tag reading in a Swift application.

Example of Reading NFC Tags with Core NFC

import CoreNFC class ViewController: UIViewController, NFCNDEFReaderSessionDelegate { var nfcSession: NFCNDEFReaderSession? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() } func startScanning() { nfcSession = NFCNDEFReaderSession(delegate: self, queue: nil, invalidateAfterFirstRead: false) nfcSession?.begin() } func readerSession(_ session: NFCNDEFReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: Error) { print("Session Invalidated: \(error.localizedDescription)") } func readerSession(_ session: NFCNDEFReaderSession, didDetectNDEFs messages: [NFCNDEFMessage]) { for message in messages { for record in message.records { if let payloadString = String(data: record.payload, encoding: .utf8) { print("NFC Tag Payload: \(payloadString)") } } } } }
