Minimal Reproducible Example

                AppiumOptions options = new AppiumOptions();
                options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DeviceName, "Android");
                options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PlatformName, "Android");

                options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.Orientation, "PORTRAIT");
                options.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:appPackage", "com.google.android.dialer");
                options.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:appActivity", "com.google.android.dialer.extensions.GoogleDialtactsActivity");
                //noReset=false->remove app end test
                options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.Orientation, "PORTRAIT");
                options.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:noReset", true);
                options.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:getMatchedImageResult", true);
                //options.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:autoGrantPermissions", true);

                //options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, Constants.TIMEOUT);
                options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NewCommandTimeout, TimeSpan.FromDays(3).TotalSeconds);
                //options.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NewCommandTimeout, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2).TotalSeconds);

                Uri url = new Uri(_windowsApplicationDriverUrl);

                _driver = new AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>(url, options);
                _driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5000);

I’m not so familiar with NFC related implementation in Android, but I wonder if it gets restricted when the device has a background process which has some of https://github.com/appium/io.appium.settings/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L6-L29 permissions, or something

I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57202157/android-nfc-read-fails-after-fullscreen-launcher-app-comes-from-background

So… I wonder if without https://github.com/appium/io.appium.settings/blob/6214c0a74510c3ad5b4bdf0740bb56724622d8e6/app/src/main/java/io/appium/settings/Unlock.java#L28-L29 one can work. Could you try out without these flags?

You also could try out Appium 2 and UIA2 driver 2.12.1
