    Hi there,

    a client wants their product with an NFC chip to communicate with an Android app.
    Haven't found a good extension in the Asset Store and I'm not really familiar in developing extensions.

    I found this tutorial:
    http://blog.twinsprite.com/2014/05/10/nfc-android-java-plugin-for-unity-3d.html

    In this tutorial it is only mentioned how to read a tag but the app must read and write so I think the App needs to use "Android Beam". https://developer.android.com/intl/ru/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/nfc.html#p2p

    The NFC chip and the app should share text/plain information.

    Every tip on how to get started would be very nice ;)

    Even if you tell me that it isn't possible!
