ReadNFC and iphone

I'm experimenting with a canvas app there I'd like to scan nfc tag and show the content.
I've tried to follow the examples online both official documentation and other ReadNFC() guides, however I get stuck then I try to use the function on my phone.
Power Apps installed on iphone and the app is opened via that. 
When I press the button I get up the "Ready to Scan, please tap NFC tags" screen but nothing happens when I tap the phone with the nfc tag. Like it's either not detecting or somehow not reading the tag.
NFC scanner opened via the Automation app gives a scan result for the same tag. 
So it looks like the problem with either with power apps or with my canvas app.
For the simplicity I juse the button with the following formula:
Set(varNFC; ReadNFC())
 
 
What am I doing wrong or missing?
 
Thanks!

    Hi @ET-20020813-0,
     
    As per the official documentation it shows it will support from version 15.0 is your Phone OS greater than 15.0

    Yes, my phone is on iOS 18.3.1.
    I'm thinking about that it might be a permission issue? Do I have to find and add some permission to the Power Apps to be able to read the nfc tag or it's on out of the box?

    • Go to Settings > Power Apps
    • Ensure NFC access is enabled (if supported).
     
    Thanks
