NFC Support

Please enable NFC Passkit Support. I understand that it requires a different certificate, and am working on it.
It should just require a checkbox and a few lines of code.
This is one of the reasons that I was looking at using Pretix.
We do not have an enhanced NFC-certificate ourselves yet and - as far as I can tell - the upstream library that we're using to create the passes has no support for NFC either at this point.
The latter is probably easily enough to fix by adding a new nfc-key with message and encryptionPublicKey properties (and possibly a check if the certificate we're using is an enhanced passbook cert...).
However validating the whole thing against a VAS-device will be more difficult. We could probably try using our Adyen devices for that...
For now, I'll leave this issue open as an enhancement-proposal and we'll see how and when we can get around to this.
These are the VAS devices I am looking at.
I'm hoping to get this working with pretix, and using the NTAG 424 type NFC cards, for interoperability with the Boltcard standard, and Lightning Payments. This would enable some amazing scenarios, as you could have presales / cards available at the door, they could be preloaded with credit that is redeemable at any vendor in the event, and remains as Lightning credit after the event, but while still allowing vendors and event holders to track purchases like loyalty cards (unless the user chooses to not by withdrawing elsewhere, but you could per event indicate policy).
This is exciting as it enables LNBits interop, and means offline digital payments are possible in outlying areas through pre-payment, but in an open way.
[EDIT: I realise this is not the pretix repo itself, but this was one of the few pretix/NFC mentions available]
