ITN Bcards

[ScottParticipant]

I am trying to read ITN Bcards using Objective-C. I purchased and downloaded the SDK and it appears to fail parsing the NDEF record. I found a couple of other threads on this, but only about Xamarin. Does anyone have any suggestions for work arounds for parsing the NDEF records from the ITN BCards?

Here is the console log I get with a simple 1 screen demo application:

[ScottParticipant]

Here is a more complete description and sample project:

My application requirement is to read ITN BCards inside an existing iOS app using the ACS ACR1255U-J1 external bluetooth reader. I can already read the cards using core NFC for devices that support it, but I need this to work on iPads too. I purchased and installed the Flomio SDK, but I am having problems getting the NDEF record to read. Here is a Gist that shows my view controller code (you can see I have commented out the NDEF reading as it was not working, now I am trying to just send an ADPU command and its not working either).

Here is the console log:

Here is a zip of the entire project:

Using the ACS demo app, I can connect to the reader and get it to scan cards (although not the bcards). It seems like I can’t connect to the reader using the flomio SDK. Maybe I am not authenticating correctly? Not sure. Any help is appreciated.
