Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Note: If the strings translations change it will result in a MINOR version change, therefore you are responsible for testing your translated layout in case you are using custom translations. More on language localisation

[22.0.0] - 2024-09-19

Added

• Updated the Proof of address module to the latest functionality

Changed

• Updated the Kotlin version used from 1.7 to 1.9, as well as the Java version from 8 to 11
• Renamed OnfidoActivityTheme to OnfidoLightTheme for consistency with OnfidoDarkTheme. Also dropped attr suffix from font family theme attributes for consistency with other attribute names

Removed

• Removed deprecated APIs. Refer to our migration guide for specific details
• Removed unused translations keys

[21.2.1] - 2024-09-27

Changed

• Added type, issuing_country and side metadata to document video uploads

Fixed

• Fixed a publication issue within our SDK modules, which caused our .aars to be missing from Maven central for the onfido-capture-sdk module (none of the other modules were impacted). Consequently, SDK integrations that were only importing this dependency were failing to compile: the dependencies were not correctly pulled and therefore imports were failing. Note: this was only happening when not using Onfido Studio (i.e. the onfido-workflow dependency being added was masking/working around the problem)

[21.2.0] - 2024-09-03

Added

• Added BiometricTokenCallback for handling biometric token on the client's side

Changed

• Removed Motion confirmation screen
• Updated the Studio retry step to support all languages
• Updated the Studio retry step to support custom translations

Fixed

• Fixed the issue where a 'No Face Detection' warning was incorrectly displayed on devices that do not support face detection
• Fixed the issue when the document capture Studio task was not completing for clients with Document Video report disabled

[21.1.0] - 2024-08-15

Changed

• Removed the hardcoded support document list
• Updated NFC scanning UI and improved product copy and translations for a better user experience
• Enhanced Media Callback logic: The SDK now sends a cropped image after document capture rather than the full image, based on the position of the document. This will optimize the SDK’s performance and enhance the accuracy of the image capture

Fixed

• Fixed the error where dark mode was not working on the QES screen
• Fixed the back navigation from the permissions screen in Studio flows

[21.0.1] - 2024-07-29

[17.0.0] - 2023-05-09

Added

• After the release of version 17.0.0, Onfido Android SDK runs in a separate process. This means that when the callback is triggered, the body of that callback will run in Onfido SDK process rather than the main application process. Therefore, any actions performed in the callback, such as accessing memory or modifying UI, will be executed within the SDK process. It is important to keep this in mind when designing and implementing callbacks in order to ensure the proper functioning and performance of the SDK. - After the release of version 17.0.0, Onfido Android SDK runs in a separate process.
