Designed for programmers familiar with app development but new to NFC coding, our uCreate NFC software development kit (SDK) provides the source code supporting the first steps of NFC mobile app development. It is our mission to make NFC technologies more accessible to a broader range of developers, many of whom have limited or no experience with this type of technology. The uCreate NFC ecosystem provides engineers, product managers, and makers with the tools to learn, create, and test their own NFC experiences.
