Small improvements and bug fixes

7.3.0 ->

  • Improved and updated underlying selfie and id capture face detection functionality

  • Improved selfie capture for better image processing for liveness images

  • Added back of id card capture feature

v7.2.0

  • 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.

  • Removed useIdCard on the SIDConfig.Builder class so the SDK can handle this automatically.

  • The first version which is compatible with Smile ID UI which is a layer we have built to abstract the manual configuration to the SDK and for convenional use this is an easier way to get started very quickly in fewer lines of code.

v7.0.1 onwards

  • SDK now requires a Smile Config file from the partner portal available here

  • SDK now handles the urls and port configuration and introduced the environment enum SIDNetData.Environment.TEST and SIDNetData.Environment.PROD to manage your Smile ID environmen

Version 6.4.2

  • Fixed issues with ID capture being closely tied to job submissions where an enroll would fail if ID capture had been invoked on the same tag

  • Fixed issues with capturing ID before selfie

  • New and improved ID Capture view in a few lines of code please see here for more information on how to implement this.

Version 6.4.2

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();
....//other SIDNetData settings
data.setCallBackUrl(https://example.com/callback);

Version 6.4.1

The SDK will provide validation by default and will return an error which can be either

ID_VALIDATION_INVALID_COUNTRY = 42
or
ID_VALIDATION_INVALID_ID_TYPE = 43
or
ID_VALIDATION_MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELDS = 40

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

You can turn off this remote validation by using

builder = new SIDConfig.Builder(this)
....
setValidateIdInfo(false)
...
builder.build();
//this will only validate to make sure there is a country, id type and id

Fixed a crash for a subset of armv7 devices caused by a linking error

Version 6.4.0

BREAKING CHANGES

    �
