Developers

Customers integrating using Onfido Studio can authenticate the SDK using tokens generated and exposed in theworkflow run payloadreturned by the API when a workflow run iscreated.

Customers integration without the use of Onfido Studio must authenticate the SDK by manuallygenerating an SDK tokenusing the Onfido API.

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

[22.1.0] - 2024-12-02

Changed

  • Handled an option to skip Motion Intro screen in Studio flow
  • Added API to skip Motion Intro screen in Classic flow via .withIntro(false)
  • The country names listed in the document selection screen are now translated according to the device locale

Fixed

  • Fixed minor bugs with the new Capture codebase
  • Fixed document capture showing document type screen after capturing document and moving to next step
  • 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)
  • Fixed a crash caused by a certain setup including aggressive Proguard rules. Note: only one customer was affected

[21.2.2] - 2024-11-11

Fixed

  • Fixed a native-level crash occurring during emulator-based testing

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).

[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.
