First native macOS SDK for NTAG 424 DNA — pure Swift with CommonCrypto only.

Strengths
  • •Zero dependencies using only Apple's CommonCrypto and native PC/SC framework
  • •Self-testing validates against NIST and NXP AN12196 test vectors at startup
  • •Complete EV2First authentication with session key derivation and CMAC verification
Weaknesses
  • •Extremely narrow audience — only matters if you're shipping NFC auth on macOS
  • •Linux and Windows developers need separate solutions for cross-platform apps
