Can I read data from an IC card with NFC on the iPhone?

Hi,


I want to read data from a specific IC card using Core NFC.

The card specifications are as follows.


- Tag type: ISO 14443-4 (NXP MIFARE Classic 1k).

- Technologies available: IsoDep, NfcA, Mifare Classic, NdefFormatable.


This information was obtained from a device other than the iPhone.

I checked it with a test app, and the iPhone was unable to detect this card.

I tested on iPhone 8 and 11 with iOS 13.


Can the iPhone read the data on this card?

If the iPhone cannot read the data, I wonder why.


Thanks.

I have confirmed that iOS 13 Core NFC does not support MIFARE Classic.


"This will indicate the specific MIFARE tag type that has been discovered. It can be MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Plus, or DESFire. At this time, MIFARE Classic tags are not supported."
