I want to develop a demo app can read contactless bank card (like VISA MasterCard),does IOS support it ?Apple Development Spec. says "Core NFC doesn't support payment-related Application IDs.", what's that mean?

When a device attempts to read a contactless card, the first thing it does is tell the card to load a specific application (i.e. the VISA payment application).

What Apple are saying is it does not support that.

Apple Pay is the only thing that can do anything relating to contactless payments.
