Unsupported PC/SC NFC Devices
The Desktop App has limited support for unrecognized PC/SC based NFC devices. Technically, all PC/SC based devices should work the same per the standards, but in reality, there are differences in the hardware and drivers. The Desktop App can try to use these unsupported readers, but with limited functionality and no guarantee of accuracy or performance. Using an officially supported NFC reader and ensuring the latest drivers are installed is highly recommended.
