Put animation in 'ready to scan' message for iOS
When you start a NFC session via NfcManager.instance.startSession() on iOS there is a pop up that displays and says 'ready to scan'. I've got two questions and/or requests...
-
Is there a way to put an animation (or more plainly, a Widget) in that pop up? (You currently only have the ability to add a
String? alertMessage). -
If that isn't possible, does the ability to prevent that pop up from displaying exist? Can it?
Background on request:
When the NFC session starts (via the user clicking a button), I want to provide a visual instruction to them on what to do. I've implemented this on the main screen, but the pop up is blocking it.
Just checking in to see if anyone has any input on this. Please let me know.
Is it possible to implement this feature? Is it possible to dismiss the pop-up and display a custom message?
As far as I understand NFC scanning on iOS, that's not possible.
For 1: The scanning sheet is created and shown by iOS when a scanning sessions is started. The API does not allow for arbitrary views, just some text.
For 2: When actively scanning, there is no way to suppress the scanning sheet. There is a way to scan for NFC devices in background - but the user flow is different then, and the user has to tap OS-generated notification.
