ERROR: Method 'channel:' not defined in Plugin 'NfcPlugin'

[davidemorotti]

Hi,

I'm trying to develop an app with an NFC scanning functionality, here is my code:

    if(this.nfc.enabled()) {
      console.log('NFC enabled');
      this.nfc.beginSession((data) => {
        console.log(data)
      }, () => {
        console.log('error');
      })
    } else {
      console.log('NFC not enabled');
    }

When I try to run the app on my iOS device, this is the error I get:
ERROR: Method 'channel:' not defined in Plugin 'NfcPlugin'

Where is this "channel" method getting called?

I'm using Xcode 10.2, phonegap-nfc 1.0.3 and @ionic-native/nfc 5.4.0

Thanks for the help!

did you find a solution, i'm having the same error.

[davidemorotti]

Nope, I developed the app using Swift 😂 I was able to do it faster than using Ionic packages. Sometimes the documentation is just not well written or present at all. I’m sorry I can’t give you better news!

ok thanks for responding so quickly will keep my fingers crossed and use QR codes for now instead :D

I've fixed this error. Not sure, what the channel method should do exactly, probably it is needed for the plugin initialization.

See bushev@ea08e52

Thanks bushev!

I have the same error with the latest IOS (10.15) and Xcode (11). I didn't see this correction (#363) in the 1.0.4 release notes. However, I see you committed this change on July 5. Shouldn't it be included in the 1.0.4 release?

During the test on the device, it gives me the same error.
I updated to the latest version available 1.2.0
