CoreNFC reading WWDC badges

Has anyone had any luck reading the badges? I was able to read last years badge using an android phone but not able to read last years or this years badge using the new CoreNFC Framework.

Not sure about this year, but 2016 badge doesn't contain any NDEF records, and It looks like NFCNdefReaderSession filters out such tags even though the bagde itself is a supported MiFare tag. If you still have that android phone you can use NXP tag writer app to deploy an NDEF message to the badge and then it will be readable by CoreNFC

Looks like I need to start working on a new tag reader subclass. Thanks for the heads up.
