I just tried to establish an NFC connection with my ID card using the German AusweisApp BUND app on an Xperia 10 II. Unfortunately, SFOS does not seem to support NFC with such apps. Will this change with the next New Gen JOLLA phone?
Did you try with an Android Application?
Yes. Exactly. I think there is no other alternatively native app available.
like bluetooth nfc currently is not available in AAS. It might be theoretically possible to link it to AAS, but a simultaneous availability in AAS and native is not possible (however for NFC there would be less disadvantage in having it ONLY in AAS compared to bluetooth)

It’s Qt6 based so with Chum packaging of Qt 6 there might be ways to get it to run?

Ah, indeed! @rinigus is hard at work on getting angelfish in 6 running, so there is some chance an AusweisApp port could work. On the other hand, I’ve only ever used the eID client, on my pc, once in 4 years. How often does anyone use it?

Well, it’s either open source with reproducible builds and somewhat democratically controlled or some shady big-tech video ident from the states … but it’s coming anyway

Yes, not only opensource, but linux builds work flawlessly and the code is easy to audit. Though I almost never use it, I found the implementation quite good.
