  • New 3D liveness version update. Improved success rates.

If there are some technical challenges for the migration, you can contact our support via Dashboard. We will be happy to assist.
  • Added new results webhook method getIdenfyResultWithDismiss.

Changed:​

  • Instructions customization method withInstructions now accepts IdenfyInstructionsEnum instead of boolean. The enum has three states: drawer, dialog, and none.

[6.5.1] - 2021-06-24​

Changed:​

  • Fixed 3D liveness issue in the V1 SDK version, where result webhooks were not triggered at all. It is recommended to switch to V2, because the V1 will be deprecated in the next major version and removed in version after that.

[6.5.0] - 2021-06-06​

Added:​

  • New alerts in the verification results view. They prompt the user to re-check the selected document type and navigate to the beginning of a verification flow.

  • Improved background recording feature. EXC_BAD_ACCESS should disappear completely even after long background sessions.

[6.3.0] - 2021-04-05​

Added:​

  • Added a loading indicator after the user selected a document issuing country. This is due to recent updates, which now show available documents depending on issuing country selection. If your application passes a set of custom idenfyViewV2 while initializing the SDK, please update your custom views implementation code for the CountrySelectionViewableV2 and CountryCellViewable protocols. If you set issuing country during verification token generation via API or skip the document's issuing country step selection altogether, then no UI changes will be noticeable.
  • Added option to skip selfie capture during 3D liveness verification. This feature was recently made the default choice for 3D liveness verification flow. So, updating the SDK you will see that the selfie step is no longer present. This functionality can be disabled if you like to keep the current flow or need more time updating your custom views contact our support team via Dashboard for disabling this feature.

Changed:​

  • Fixed high memory allocation, which resulted in EXC_BAD_ACCESS on some rare occasions.
  • Improved camera initialization code specifically for IOS 11+.
  • 3D Liveness version update.
  • Background recordings upload is much faster, you should see noticeable processing updates.
  • Removed the document capturing rectangle for the additional verification steps during the document photo capture step. The rectangle was confusing because some documents take a much larger size in comparison with the present capture frame size.

Changed:​

  • Fixed issue with custom photo results UIViews visibility after confirmation click.
  • Custom UIView implementing a FaceCameraViewableV2, should override required convenience init.

[6.2.0] - 2021-02-23​

  • Fixed the Xcode setting issue in one of the modules, which forbidden archived app upload to the App store. The error code was ITMS-90562: Invalid Bundle.

[6.1.0] - 2021-02-19​

Changed:​

  • Previous 3D liveness update took longer upload times and did not utilize the latest performance improvements in comparison with v8. Also, the error message was not elaborate enough and created confusion. We updated upload, processing time, and error messages.
  • CustomWaitingViewController.ViewControllerProvided renamed to the CustomWaitingViewController.viewControllerProvided to match Swift lint suggestions.

[6.0.0] - 2021-02-11​

Added:​

  • SSL pinning support.
  • Major 3D liveness version upgrade from v8 to v9. Faster and more accurate 3D liveness.

Added:​

  • Added new UI elements in the document & selfie photo result screens.
  • Removed terminate verification button and added new UI elements in the ManualResultsWaiting screen.
  • Added highly requested state restoration change. Previously the SDK would force a user to restart the verification flow as soon as the user went to the background. This behavior created inconveniences for the verification process. As a result, we redesigned state restoration. The SDK no longer causes the verification restart as soon as the user goes to the background. The restart will only occur if the user spends at least 5 minutes while being in the background.
  • Added a new V2 customization option. This customization is a significant improvement from the previous solution.

[2.0.0] - 2020-05-04​

Added:​

  • Support for French, Italian and German languages.

Changed:​

  • Removed previously deprecated UIWebView references from Storyboard.

  • Renamed withCustomsStoryboard -> withCustomLocalStoryboard initialization method.
