⚠️ Notes & compatibility
Works only on NFC-enabled Android devices that support HCE (Host Card Emulation).
Some NFC readers/readers or older devices may not support all tag types or may have limitations.
Not all NFC tag standards (e.g., certain MIFARE classic secure tags) can be fully emulated by phone hardware.
Always test with your reader/target device to ensure compatibility.
