Re: [web-nfc] New Tag Scanned problems from PWA (#674)

Thanks for the quick response 😄 The New Tag Scanned popup looks like this

<img width="298" height="645" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/697f128c-5268-4230-9797-d4920fac932c" />

This appears after scanning a tag. You cannot interact with the text it has scanned. I believe it is Androids way of letting the user know "A tag has been scanned but there is no app that is listening to it".

This behaviour can be replicated with generic web nfc example like this website:
https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/web-nfc/

Take an Android phone of version 15(?) and above, click Scan and scan a tag close to your phone. The "New Tag Scanned" popup will sometimes appear, and sometimes the web nfc example will properly read and log the scanned tag.
