If you want the SDK to generate a tag for you then call the method with an empty string
If you want the generate to use a custom tag send a string to the SDK with alphanumeric characters with the exception of an underscore and no spacing in them.
This will present the two screen as below in the order selfie then id card capture
The selfie capture process is an asynchronous process and will return an error code and a tag once done. The result looks as the below
�If the result code is -1 AND the tag is not null or empty then the selfie capture was successful.
By default the SDK will request for permissions on it's own particularly on android and the first instance the call to the captureSelfie may fail and will definately fail if the user has not allowed the permissions for camera
It is advisable to then do permissions request prior to calling the captureSelfie method to make sure you handle permissions and perhaps even check for permissions before in that case then the call should be
The false will mean the SDK will try to open the selfie capture and assume permission handling has already been done
For basic UI customisation, an additional key-value Object needs to be passed as second parameter when performing a call to the library's captureSelfie("<TAG>",HashMap<String, String>(),false
