No iOS Support at the moment

With iOS, a system-wide support of smart cards and card readers is not possible. In order to use AirID with a specific app, the AirID driver needs to be integrated into this app.

The connection to the iOS device is only active when the app in foreground is open. As soon as the app goes into the background, the Bluetooth connection to the AirID is released again.

AirID system requirements

In order to use AirID with your iOS device, the iOS version 10.3.3 upwards is required.

AirID Integration

There are two possible options for integration of AirID which can be used:
  1. Complete integration of AirID driver and AirID Central functionality into the third party app
  2. Only integration of AirID driver into the third party app and usage of AirID Central app in addition (interaction of the apps via keychain)

Depending on the form of integration, the Bluetooth pairing process will be done within the third party app (1.) or within the AirID Central app (2.).

For both option a smart card middleware within the third party app is required to use the smart card provided by AirID.
