In iOS 18, there are several updates related to NFC, particularly in the context of event tickets and Wallet. Here are the key points:
-
Enhanced NFC Event Tickets: The experience for NFC event tickets has been improved. This includes visual upgrades to tickets in your Wallet and a new event guide to access detailed information about your event. These enhancements aim to provide a richer ticketing experience for users.
-
Pass JSON Requirements: To take advantage of the new NFC ticketing features, the pass JSON must include a set of required semantically tagged information. Semantic tags are machine-readable metadata that help the system better understand the data provided in the pass.
-
Preferred Style in Pass JSON: You can specify whether you want passes rendered with the new style by adding the preferred style in the pass JSON.
-
NFC Entitlement: Just like before, your pass needs to be signed with the NFC entitlement to allow ticket holders to use their passes for contactless entry.
