Scott, thanks for getting back to me. After talking to Richard we decided to go with the FloPlus.

The behavior is better, at least getting good error.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you so much!

Hey Dustin, this may be due to an ATR not in our stack. Can you FedEx some sample BCARDs to us so I can support you better on this issue? I’ll email you our FedEx account number for you to overnight them.

best,
Richard

Hey,

I appreciate it. The Boise office will get it out today!

Actually, I am getting a different error message with the type of ITN badge that is normally used.

Reading DESfire 2k tags is not a trivial thing. Once we get the BCARDs will be able to assess what needs to be added to the Flomio SDK to support your use case. Thanks for sending samples. Will reach back out on this thread once we get them.

Richard

Hi Dustin, we received the sample ITN BCARDs you sent us. I understand the issues you posted about now. The Test card is an NFC Type 2 tag (MiFare Ultralight X) with two NDEF records on it, a Well Known Type (WKT) URL and an External (EXT) type. The Test Badge is an NFC Type 4 tag (MiFare DESFire EV1) and contains two of the same type of NDEF records as well, WKT and EXT.

The first issue is that we don’t support EXT NDEF types at the moment and the extra long 276 byte record stored there is overflowing our NDEF parser and preventing the next record, the WKT URL, from being found. Our NDEF parser shouldn’t fail to catch the WKT URL and that’s a bug that we have logged and will fix. Support for ITN’s BCARD EXT type is a more difficult task that we won’t be able to resolve in the immediate time frame. If this is business critical you can purchase Flomio Service hours and we will prioritize this work. Otherwise, you’re free to use the sendAPDU() API from the Flomio SDK to read tag data blocks and parse the BCARD EXT type NDEF yourself.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Left you a voicemail, would like to discuss moving forward with paid support.

Hey Dustin, thanks for the followup. I’ve been traveling at a conference so sorry for missing your call, I’ll be back at work tomorrow after 2pm EST if you’d like to speak then. Purchasing Flomio Service hours is pretty straight forward and really allows us to focus on your needs better. We’ll set up a private Slack channel for the team to engage with you and quickly resolve issues. We are committed to exceed your expectations but if at any point you feel you’re not getting the best value just let me know and we can adjust as needed.

best,
Richard

You should really fix that bug. I just did a workaround for William from https://flomio.com/forums/topic/flomio-sdk-2/ after I got the Pro SDK wrapped for Xamarin. It’s a show stopper for people not knowing APDUs and NDEF parsing well enough.

Ben, thanks for the feedback. I will update the issue logged to bring it to our highest priority. You’re right that the NDEF parser shouldn’t fail to get the URL record just because the EXT record is not supported yet. We have a more robust NDEF parser written in JS but have yet to port it over to Native for the Xamarin wrappers to benefit.

Richard

Just to clarify – is reading ITN cards and badges supported in the iOS SDK? I am not interested in the Xamarin implementation, just need to know if the Flomio SDK can read ITN Bcards or not?

February 19, 2018 at 7:16 pm #62359

Richard

@Scott, most definitely the ITN Bcards are supported by the iOS SDK but it may require some byte to ASCII conversion. The more robust NDEF parser I mention above is in beta testing now and will support the EXT records needed for Bcards to be easier to interact with. Glad to share that with you if interested.

best,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Yes I would definitely like to use the beta SDK. I am not able to read the ITN Bcard NDEF records using the SDK – I posted a thread about this:

OK, will follow up on that thread instead.

Thanks Richard, I also purchased additional support to help with getting this up and running, I have an urgent need for this to be up and running in the next couple of days for a tradeshow coming up. How do we engage on this additional support?

Hi Scott, did you receive all the readers and support you ordered?? Please confirm to make sure we haven’t left anything incomplete.

best,
Richard

Hi Richard, Yes everything is complete. The newest version of the SDK supports reading the NFC Type 2 tag for both NDEF records present on the card, for future reference.
