What's New in NFC

At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates related to NFC, particularly in the context of event ticketing and Wallet passes. Here are the key highlights:

  1. Enhanced NFC Event Tickets:

    • Apple has focused on improving the experience for NFC event tickets. This includes visual upgrades and a richer ticketing experience.
    • To take advantage of these new features, the pass JSON must include semantically tagged information, which helps the system better understand the data provided in the pass.
    • Passes need to be signed with the NFC entitlement to enable contactless entry for ticket holders.

  2. Live Activities for Passes:

    • Passes can now start a live activity on iPhone and Apple Watch when the pass is deemed most relevant. This live activity will display primary seating and entry information directly on the lock screen or smart stack, making it easier for users to access important information.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay (10:24).
