# SkipNFC
This package provides rudimentary support for Android and iOS NFC interaction
for [Skip](https://skip.tools) apps.
## Usage
```swift
let nfcAdapter: NFCAdapter = NFCAdapter()
nfcAdapter.startScanning { message in
print("received message: \(message)")
}
nfcAdapter.stopScanning()
```
## Setup
### Android
* Add [android.permission.NFC](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#NFC) to your `AndroidManifest.xml`.
### iOS
* Add [Near Field Communication Tag Reader Session Formats Entitlements](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_nfc_readersession_formats) to your entitlements.
* Add [NFCReaderUsageDescription](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nfcreaderusagedescription) to your `Darwin/Info.plist`.
* Add [com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.iso7816.select-identifiers](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/select-identifiers) to your `Darwin/Info.plist` as needed.
For example:
```xml
com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats
NDEF
NSNFCReaderUsageDescription
This app requires access to NFC to read and write data to NFC tags.
```
## Building
This project is a free Swift Package Manager module that uses the
[Skip](https://skip.tools) plugin to transpile Swift into Kotlin.
Building the module requires that Skip be installed using
[Homebrew](https://brew.sh) with `brew install skiptools/skip/skip`.
This will also install the necessary build prerequisites:
Kotlin, Gradle, and the Android build tools.
## Testing
The module can be tested using the standard `swift test` command
or by running the test target for the macOS destination in Xcode,
which will run the Swift tests as well as the transpiled
Kotlin JUnit tests in the Robolectric Android simulation environment.
Parity testing can be performed with `skip test`,
which will output a table of the test results for both platforms.
