HCE MasterCard Emulation

[Adrien-Delahaye]

I am trying to make an application using your cordova HCE plugin in order to emulate a MasterCard on an android device to be used on a payment terminal. I have tested it with the right AID and it does not seem to work. Here is the content of my aid_list.xml file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <host-apdu-service android:description="@string/service_name" android:requireDeviceUnlock="false" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <aid-group android:apduServiceBanner="@drawable/settings_banner" android:category="payment" android:description="@string/card_title"> <aid-filter android:name="A0000000041010" /> </aid-group> </host-apdu-service>

The android device recognises the app as a NFC payment application but when I tap the phone against the payment terminal, nothing happens. It seems no APDU is either received or sent.

FYI I tested another application which works on the payment terminal device (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.karlisbalcers.simulator&hl=en).

Is there something I am missing ?

You're not receiving any commands in the callback you registered in hce.registerCommandCallback?

Read through the output of adb logcat and see if there are any errors or stack traces.
Run chrome://inspect and see if there are any javascript errors while you're scanning.

If you're phone has Android 6, it's possible there's a permissions issue. Try targeting Android-22 in config.xml.

<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="22"/>

I am not receiving any commands in the callback (hce.registerCommandCallback).

There are no Javascript errors but in the adb logcat I have the following lines with errors which I don't understand :

My phone has indeed Android 6 but whenever I try to target Android-22 in config.xml, the app can't be run. (Message states that I don't have permission to downgrade SDK)

I guess this is the permissions issue then, what do you think ?

Thank you

@Adrien-Delahaye the message about downgrading the SDK means you need to delete the android-23 version from your phone before the android-22 version can be installed.
