We have removed the mandatory retry policies and have set a default but you can still override the default if you see a need to do so using setRetryOnfailurePolicy.
when submitting a job� the SDK will default to 10 retries, 15 seconds apart.

Fixed issues with Job Type 5 which was resulting in a silent failure due to remaining job configurations from previous versions.

Added the ability to set custom callback using the SDK, this can be done by using the SIDNetData class. After setting the other settings in this class then call the method setCallBackUrl as in the example below

SIDNetData data = new SIDNetData();

�For more information on required fields per ID type please refer to

You can turn off this remote validation by using

builder = new SIDConfig.Builder(this)
