NFC tags can be read using iOS shortcuts but not using home assistant app

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

Hi, i recently bought NFC tags and I’ve tried to add them to homeassistant using the Home Assistant app for iOS. Unfornatly homeassistant NFC doesnt not see those tags. When I try to read the TAG using the HA app, the standard iOS message waiting to be scanned appears, but the phone doesn’t seem to recognize the TAG and never reads it.
When I use the iOS Shortcuts app, the same message appears and the TAG is read immediately. I can then use it to create automation in Shortcuts and it works fine. I thought it was some permission to use NFC but I couldn’t find the appropriate settings in iOS or the HA app.
I checked on iPhone 14 and 11.
HA app version: 2023.12.1
iOS: 17.2.1

Did I miss something?

It’s a bit cumbersome to setup. This video explains what you need to do: https://youtu.be/VsjTzm2JFJ0

I know it was a long time ago but did you ever solve this? Mine works from Apple shortcuts but not Home Assistant (or any other NFC app).

Same here. No solution found to get them working outside shortcuts yet.
