Web NFC API request denied error on Android WebView

When an NFC tag is being read by the Web NFC API through Android WebView, the following error is shown:

NotAllowedError: Failed to execute 'scan' on 'NDEFReader': NFC permission request denied.

JavaScript in the Android WebView is enabled. I've seen in the Web NFC API documentation that Web NFC is supported in Android WebView.

MainActivity.kt code:

package com.example.webloader

import android.annotation.SuppressLint
import android.os.Bundle
import android.webkit.WebView
import android.webkit.WebViewClient
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.EditText
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private lateinit var webView: WebView
    private lateinit var urlInput: EditText
    private lateinit var goButton: Button

    @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        webView = findViewById(R.id.webView)
        urlInput = findViewById(R.id.urlInput)
        goButton = findViewById(R.id.goButton)

        webView.webViewClient = WebViewClient()
        webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true

        goButton.setOnClickListener {
            var url = urlInput.text.toString().trim()
            if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://")) {
                url = "https://$url"
            }
            webView.loadUrl(url)
        }
    }
}

Is there any way to solve this?
