NFC Tag Writer sample or tutorial for ios?
I want to write set of NSDictionary data into NFC tag and get when they tap NFC Stickers.
How to write NFC tag data from my iOS app? After searching Google I can't find any reference to write data from my iOS app to NFC tag. Samples given by Google is only for reading NFC tag by iOS11 app. But some of the app in iTunes have option to both read and write NFC tag data. How they did it?
Thanks in advance!

You cannot write to an NFC tag from iOS, only read. In the Core NFC documentation from Apple it's stated you can only read NFC NDEF tags, and only on iPhone 7 and 7 plus devices (assuming 8 and X are also supported)
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc
The apps you are finding in the App Store require you to use an external Bluetooth NFC reader.

However -I think it should be doable via e.g. PhoneGap, which basically is a development framework that allows you to build apps for iOS, Android etc. by using HTML5 and Javascript. Thus you have some limitations.
There is a PhoneGap-NFC Library, which seems to support reading and writing even on iOS 11.

Hope this points in the right direction.
