ERROR: Method 'channel:' not defined in Plugin 'NfcPlugin'

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’m trying to develop an app with an NFC scanning functionality, here is my code:

    if(this.nfc.enabled()) {
      console.log('NFC enabled');
      this.nfc.beginSession((data) => {
        console.log(data)
      }, () => {
        console.log('error');
      })
    } else {
      console.log('NFC not enabled');
    }

When I try to run the app on my iOS device, this is the error I get: ERROR: Method 'channel:' not defined in Plugin 'NfcPlugin'

Where is this “channel” method getting called?

I’m using Xcode 10.2, phonegap-nfc 1.0.3 and @ionic-native/nfc 5.4.0

Thanks for the help!

Davide

I’ve fixed this error. Not sure, what the channel method should do exactly, probably it is needed for the plugin initialization.

See https://github.com/bushev/device-com-nfc.cordova/commit/ea08e52a1c9395e387c5006fa51dcb6e24d15496

Fixed in #399

During the test on the device, it gives me the same error. I updated to the latest version available 1.2.0
