Developers

Customers integrating using Onfido Studio can authenticate the SDK using tokens generated and exposed in the workflow run payload returned by the API when a workflow run is created.

Customers integration without the use of Onfido Studio must authenticate the SDK by manually generating an SDK token using the Onfido API.

At the end of the flow, the onComplete callback will return the variant used to capture face and this can be used to initiate the facial_similarity check.

Changed

Added

  • Public: The capture screen UI now includes an upload button fallback, for whenever the user experiences problems with the webcam.

  • Internal: webp falls back to jpeg in case the browser does not support it.

Changed

  • Public: Captures are now returned as png instead of webp, although webp is still used internally for streaming to the server.

Added

  • Public: it's now possible to change the init options at runtime by calling setOptions() on the object returned by Onfido.init()

  • Internal: isDesktop detection is now based on [DetectRTC][detectrtc]'s isMobile detection
