Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean android.nfc.Tag.hasTech(int)' on a null object reference

Hi, when i try to write an nfc tag on android, the following error occurs:

I´m working with the latest version

Any progress on this issue? I get the same error.

I'm using Nativescript 6.0.2 btw.

I've got the same problem with Nativescript 6.0.0.

Interestingly I can't reproduce this.. how do you trigger it exactly?

Looking at the stacktrace you could try and guard this line; only run that bit of code if tag is not null. You can go into node_modules/nativescript-nfc and give it a go.

[EddyVerbruggen]

I'm just going to assume the aforementioned issue is the problem on your end, and publish 4.0.2 in a bit.

[Fatfrido]

So.. I quickly created a new project just to test the writing here (when an empty tag is discovered it should write a string to it). However, I still get this error.
I've also tried to guard the line @EddyVerbruggen mentioned earlier (thanks for your input, btw), but this part of the code is not executed, since I only try to write on empty tags, I guess.
I used Nativescript 6.0.0 and tested on Android 9.

@Fatfrido Thx for the repo. Indeed, when writing a tag I can reproduce this error.

[EddyVerbruggen]

@Fatfrido Should be much better with 4.0.3.

@EddyVerbruggen thanks for the quick fix mate. You are awesome :D
