Analyze Sample Card does not show Mobile ID

The Analyze Sample Card feature in ID-engine Explorer won't display Mobile ID. However, credit or debit cards in your Wallet app will appear (iPhones require unlocking).

This is because Analyze Sample Card doesn't use the Bluetooth interface (which is used by the Mobile ID app), but NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC is needed to read physical ID cards, but this is also the technology on which Apple and Google Wallet are based.
