MobileTogether includes full support for receiving and pushing NFC messages for contactless communication with NFC tags or NFC enabled devices to share information including SMS, telephone numbers, URLs, etc., or to act as electronic identity documents or keycards.
With its easy to use design interface and visual, Action Trees programming paradigm, MobileTogether makes it easy to add NFC functionality to your mobile apps and enterprise solutions. With specialized NFC Actions, functions, and events, you can drag and drop components and define NFC actions without extensive coding.
Apps built in MobileTogether support:
- Discovering and reading NFC tags (Windows and Android)
- Pushing data to other devices (Windows)
- Defining actions to perform in response to NFC events
- Simulating real-world NFC data for testing & debugging
Since iOS restricts NFC communications to Apple Pay only, NFC cannot be used with other kinds of data on that platform.
NFC support in MobileTogether is implemented with several design components including actions to start/stop NFC transmission or push a message, a page source tree to be populated when an NFC tag is discovered, and NFC-related events and XPath extension functions.
MobileTogether also includes a template for NFC sample files so developers can test their app in the MobileTogether Simulator and debugger.
