When I download The ST25 embedded NFC library (STSW-ST25R-LIB) , I get an zip file.

Only one file inside, "ST25NFCEmbeddedLibSrc_ST25R95_1.3.0.exe".

I got an execute file ? The Software Type is "Source code"? STM32CubeIDE support MAC OS, but library doesn't support MAC OS?

    Hi,

    the ST25NFCEmbeddedLibSrc_ST25R95_1.3.0.exe is a sources installer that contains a click through license that users have to accept. For macOS, you have first to run this sources installer on a Windows PC and then to copy the sources on your macOS device. The sources come with STM32CubeIDE project files, so that it can also be used on macOS. In a nutshell, the library can be used on macOS device but the installation needs first to be run on a Windows device.

    Hai @Lwang​ 

    Instead of using STM32cubeMx use STM32CubeWB for NFC and wireless communication it have full support in the MAC OS.

    Hi Lwang.5,

    the contained executable is basically a windows installer forcing acceptance of the contained license before unpacking.

    If possible to you please use a Windows PC / VM to extract the package then you can transfer the sources/project to your MAC.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, hope that works for you.

    BR, Ulysses
