Flomio NFC Reader in iOS

[RabihParticipant]

Hi,

Thanks for your invitation to Flomio SDK sample app in test flight. I followed as per your instruction but still it’s not able to read data from your sample app. After fixing the reader to iphone5 using audio jack with maximum volume to headphone, I found that the reader green indicator doesn’t glow in your sample app but in ACS Mobile Mate APP the reader glows with green indicator.

Even i updated Flomio SDK 1.7(1) and still its not working.

Please find my iPhone specification :
Model: iPhone5
iOS Version: iOS 9.1

Flomio SDK Sample app settings:
Enable Reader : Enabled
Scan Sound : Enabled
Read UUID Only : Enabled
Read Data Block : Enabled
Start Block : 4
Write URL: http://api.flomio.com/v3/log

Could you please guide us ASAP.

Hi Rabih, it seems like your issue is related to you plugging in the FloJack before launching the app. Because of a limitation with the v1.7 release we can only wake up the FloJack if you plug it in after launching the app and selecting the “FloJack” option. I may help to review this thread as the same problem seems to be at play.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply.

After updating to new SDK, now the FloJack is recognised and started reading the NFC tag. But it’s not displaying the correct data of available NFC tag.

Please find the below settings and NFC Tag output data displayed from your updated Flomio SDK app screen[in TestFlight]:

1.
Settings:
Enable Reader : Enabled
Scan Sound : Enabled
Read UUID Only : Enabled
Read Data Block : Enabled
Start Block : 4
Write URL: http://api.flomio.com/v3/log

NFC-Tag Data Output:

<04603ac2 ea2680>

2.
Settings:
Enable Reader : Enabled
Scan Sound : Enabled
Read UUID Only : Disabled
Read Data Block : Enabled
Start Block : 4
Write URL: http://api.flomio.com/v3/log

NFC-Tag Data Output:

<0327d101 23540265 6e4a6f68 6e20534d>

Could you please guide me ASAP.

Hi Rabih, that’s how the Flomio SDK Sample app is meant to behave. The NDEF parser is not enabled in the Sample app, but available to use. You’d have to build your own app using the SDK if you want to leverage the NDEF parser. We are actively working to improve this system so be weary of code without good test coverage.
