Android Release Notes

Release Notes

11.1.2 - September 18, 2025

Changed

  • Moving the attestation logic back to the library module for now. Since each module must be published, keeping it in the library avoids that overhead. We published the attestation module to Maven Central for v11.1.1 only to resolve the Failed to resolve: SmileID:attestation:unspecified error. We’ll revisit this approach when we’re ready to publish a fully modularized version of the SDK.

  • Updated the security SDK and collecting more metadata

11.1.1 - September 10, 2025

Added

  • Version 11.1.1 introduces Play Integrity checks to the SDK, and it unintentionally introduced a breaking change. When upgrading, you may encounter the error Failed to resolve: SmileID:attestation:unspecified. To fix this, update your dependency configuration by excluding the transitive attestation module from com.smileidentity:android-sdkand explicitly adding com.smileidentity:android-attestation:11.1.1 as shown below:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.smileidentity:android-sdk:11.1.1") {
        exclude(group = "SmileID", module = "attestation")
    }
    implementation("com.smileidentity:android-attestation:11.1.1")
}

  • Introduce policy checks to enable/disable SDK features

11.1.0 - July 31, 2025

Added

  • Added Face Tracking in Selfie Capture to ensure only same face is used during capture

  • Added autoCaptureTimeout that allows partners to override the default 10 seconds auto capture timeout

  • Added new wrapper name ReactNativeExpo for React Native Expo SDK.

Changed

  • Removed AntiFraud response in JobStatus calls

  • The targetSdk has been updated to API level 36, along with support for the 16 KB page limit and an updated Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version. This introduces a breaking change for projects with a compileSdk lower than 36, causing builds to fail with an error like: AAPT: error: attribute android:pageSizeCompat not found. To fix this, update your compileSdk version to 36 in your build.gradle file.

  • Removed the default ConsentInformation set when no consent is passed

  • Changed enableAutoCapture to AutoCapture enum to allow partners change document capture options
