3rd party NFC access revoked in latest iOS

Works nicely

Thank you for this app. I’ve been wanting to play with NFC tags in Homekit for a while but Apple removed the background NFC scanning on the iPhone X so I never got the chance.

Your app is a nice alternative. There are some things to fix like currently there’s no way to save the name change of a tag.

Also if you could implement accessory control that would be awesome!
