Hi I'm using version 2.0.2 and I am able to read my tag, however I am trying to read the serial number/id but it get returned as an empty string.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Is this on Android or iOS? Also could you tell more about the tags you're using?

I'm having the same issue. I'm using an NTAG213, Tag type: ISO 14443-4, running on the latest version of iOS. When I run NFC Tools on the same phone and the same NFC tag, it gives me the serial number. I'd love to be able to read that serial number using NFC_in_flutter. Thanks!

I'm using the 2.0.4 version.

Same issue there with NTAG213 ISO 14443-3A, iOS - no id provided, NFC Tools displays it correctly. Android seems working fine

Hi, same on my side with NTAG215. On Android it's perfect I can retrieve the tag's ID even if not NDEF formatted but on iOs the retrieved tag's ID is null.

Any ideas of how I could implement something to retrieve the tag's ID on iOs? I don't need to read / write data on the tag, just to read the tag's ID :) Tested on an iPhone 2020 SE.

@Sreadon yep, we had to write custom approach for iOS using NFCTagReaderSession. However, author mentioned "tags" branch in a different discussion, but it didn't work for us:(

[Sreadon]

Does your custom solution with NFCTagReaderSession works? May I ask an help on how to implement this if it's the case? I'm a total noob on iOs code.

It works for us. The solution is to cast the tag to MiFare tag which contains id data Its quite simple, here's the link: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc/nfcmifaretag

But again, we work with mifare only

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
