I don't know if apple allows developers to access this feature though.

If i remember correctly, the NFC is only available for using Apple Pay, on the 6th generation iPhones.
The way you used QR codes is interesting! In previous years, I had considered storing match data as bits in a picture, which could be copied form the tablet to a computer. There were caveats in the solution that I hadn't considered, but i'm glad to see that somebody has thought out of the box with scouting and was successful.
