Geolocation and NFC

Hello,

before trying i want to ask if it is possible or not.

Is there a posibility to get the gps informations of the myApps Client if the hardware has gps, like a smartphone has it?

And is it possible to read the id of an NFC Tag with myApps, if the hardware has an NFC reader build in? Maybe iOS could be a deal breaker, because i read that they didn´t integrate Web NFC Api to Webkit.

Re: Geolocation and NFC

Dear innovaphone forum,

When i take a look at the iframe where our apps are loaded in i noticed that the "geolocation" tag isn´t included in the "allowed" attribute. Is there a possibility that you can extend the iframe by that tag?

Currently:

allow="microphone; camera; display-capture *; autoplay; clipboard-write"

Hello Nick,

we will add geolocation value to the allow attribute in the first step, so you can test the behaviour with any web browser. However, for the windows launcher and iOS/Android we need to implement handling of the callback (a browser usually starts user interaction to allow the feature). This feature can not be handled like microphone and camera access, where we just allow it without asking the user.

Best Regards

Hello Andreas,

since sr18 was already released a few days ago, I think we will wait for sr19. If we are faster than expected, we will get back to you. Thanks.
