Android SDK Release Notes

Upgrade for compliance

Starting November 1, 2025, Google Play will block all app submissions and updates targeting Android 15+ that do not support 16 KB page sizes. Compliance requires upgrading to Android SDK 5.38.0 or higher (strongly recommended: upgrade to the latest release).

📌 Recommended version alignment note

Use the BOM to keep SDK module versions aligned when upgrading. If versions are managed manually, refer to the updated dependency versions in the Module Versions sections of each release's notes.

Version 5.49.0 - 2026-June-16

API Changes (refer to Migration Guide for details)

  • Removed IncodeWelcome.getReport(interviewId, ReportListener), the ReportListener interface, and the ResponseEventReport class. The backing /omni/get/report backend endpoint is no longer supported and reports cannot be generated through the SDK. Please refer to the Migration Guide for details. {/* ENG-46451 */}
  • Renamed IncodeColorPalette.neutral to neutralLight and IncodeColorPalette.black to neutralDark, including the matching JSON keys, to align with iOS so a single theme JSON works across both platforms. {/* ENG-46620 */}

Added (ALL modes)

  • Updated core-light module to v3.0.14: incorporating libRecogKitAndroid.so v3.9.2; fixing a regression (introduced in 5.42.0) that slowed on-device ML model loading and increased SDK initialization time. {/* ENG-46789 */}
  • Added missing Javadocs for SelfieScanResult fields and STATUS_* constants, including @since links to the introducing or deprecating SDK versions where available. {/* ENG-42388 */}
  • Added consecutive-frame debouncing for blur and glare real-time feedback in the IdScan module so a single bad frame no longer flashes the error pill. Aligns Android with iOS and Web. {/* ENG-37402 */}
  • Added Document Capture V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled. {/* ENG-39285 */}
  • Added DocumentScan.Builder.setDocumentSources(...) to configure which submission methods (CAMERA, FILE_UPLOAD, IMAGE_UPLOAD) appear on the Document Capture chooser. Defaults to all three. For document types that don't accept PDFs, FILE_UPLOAD is dropped only when another source remains; configuring exactly FILE_UPLOAD on such a type is rejected with a configuration error before launch. Honored by both V1 and V2: in V1 the set refines the provider options chooser shown via setShowDocumentProviderOptions(true); with that chooser disabled, V1 remains camera-only. {/* ENG-46421 */}
  • Added Email V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled. {/* ENG-32743 */}
  • Refreshed the CombinedConsent module UI to align with the latest Incode design and added dark-mode support. {/* ENG-45462 */}

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added Custom Watchlist V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled, with dark-mode support. {/* ENG-45608 */}

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Fixed the first streaming recording sometimes missing at onboarding start due to a token timing issue. {/* ENG-47440 */}
  • Fixed Face Login reopening the camera and capturing a second time after a successful login flow completed. {/* ENG-43725 */}
  • Improved video-liveness recording reliability on devices with flaky camera HAL (e.g. some MediaTek-backed Samsung models): when the camera is invalidated mid-recording and CameraX never delivers the Finalize event, the SDK now salvages any partial MP4 already written to disk and queues it for upload instead of dropping the recording. {/* ENG-41903 */}
  • Security improvements. {/* ENG-30869, ENG-45696, ENG-45860, ENG-46966, ENG-47817 */}
  • Improved accessibility behavior for phone input field. {/* ENG-38110 */}
  • Fixed a crash in the CombinedConsent module when system font size is set to maximum. {/* ENG-45274 */}
  • Fixed SelfieScan auto-capture being slow or failing to fire on Pixel 6 Pro and other high-density-screen devices in portrait, due to an overly tight face position constraint introduced in 5.45.0. {/* ENG-45095 */}
  • Fixed the camera preview being visible on the status bar / notification line during SelfieScan, Face Authentication, and Face Login capture. {/* ENG-42958 */}
  • The SDK no longer contributes an io.sentry.proguard-uuid <meta-data> entry to the host app's merged manifest. {/* ENG-46214 */}
  • Fixed the IdScan V2 module to respect the configuration when the setShowRetakeScreenForManualCapture() method in the IdScan.Builder class is set to false. {/* ENG-44338 */}
  • Fixed a Duplicate class build failure when integrating the onboard SDK alongside another library whose obfuscated classes occupy the root JVM package. {/* ENG-45643 */}
  • Fixed unexpected focus jumps in Dynamic Forms fields. {/* ENG-43908 */}
  • Added @since Deprecated in <version> tags to previously-undocumented deprecated public APIs across the SDK, so consumers can see at a glance when each API was deprecated. {/* ENG-45176 */}
  • Rewrote the deprecation messages on IncodeWelcome.fetchAllFlows(), IncodeWelcome.fetchFlow(), IncodeWelcome.downloadLibraries(), IncodeWelcome.isLibrariesReady(), IncodeWelcome.subscribeForLibrariesReady(), and the LibraryDownloadError enum to name the recommended replacements. {/* ENG-45176 */}
  • Fixed the IdScan V2 success screen displaying "Continue" instead of "Let's continue" on the label shown after a successful ID capture. {/* ENG-46828 */}
  • Fixed back-of-ID streaming video not being recorded when the ID is configured as a separate back-only scan (ScanStep.BACK). The back-side recording is now finalized and uploaded like the front side. {/* ENG-44349 */}
  • Improved error reporting when the E2EE key-exchange (getPublicKey) request fails: the resulting error now includes the HTTP status code and the server's error detail instead of a generic message. {/* ENG-47577 */}
  • Fixed a crash in the Video Selfie module that occurred when the app was minimized while the recorded video was uploading, which left the session marked as Not Completed. {/* ENG-48004 */}

Deprecations (ALL modes)

  • Deprecated IncodeException.DeviceEnvironmentException and IncodeException.isDeviceEnvironmentException(). Both are unreachable at runtime - the SDK process terminates on detection before this exception can be delivered. Remove any catch blocks or calls referencing these; they are dead code. Both will be removed in a future release. {/* ENG-47418 */}
  • Deprecated SelfieScan.FaceAuthMode.SERVER. This enum case should not be used for new integrations. Use the FaceAuthentication module instead. SelfieScan.FaceAuthMode.LOCAL (offline Face Login) is not affected. {/* ENG-42904 */}
  • Deprecated DocumentScan.Builder.setShowTutorials(...) and DocumentScan.Builder.setShowDocumentProviderOptions(...) for V2. Both are ignored by the V2 Document Capture module — use setDocumentSources(...) to configure the chooser. Still honored in V1. {/* ENG-46421 */}

Updated dependencies

  • org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.9.20 -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.9.25 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.9.20 -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.9.25 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.9.20 -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.9.25 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization:1.9.20 -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization:1.9.25 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • com.google.devtools.ksp:1.9.20-1.0.14 -> com.google.devtools.ksp:1.9.25-1.0.20 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion 1.5.4 -> 1.5.15 {/* ENG-46558 */}
  • com.guardsquare:dexguard-gradle-plugin:9.14.2 -> com.guardsquare:dexguard-gradle-plugin:9.14.3 {/* ENG-46966 */}

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed the SDK's built-in Result screen failing to display the user score in non-E2EE flows, due to the deprecated /omni/get/report endpoint returning HTTP 500 during an eager pre-fetch on screen entry. The screen now loads results without calling the removed endpoint, and the unused "Reports" button has been removed. {/* ENG-46451 */}
  • Fixed loss of the persisted session token after the app process was killed, which caused authenticated requests to fail with HTTP 401 and prevented onboarding from resuming. The token is now retained across process death so flows continue without re-authentication. {/* ENG-45855 */}
  • Fixed the ID capture captureAttemptFinished event being reported with the wrong name in UXV2 frame-logging flows, so the event now matches the value emitted by all other flows. {/* ENG-47303 */}

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.14
  • nfc 1.5.5

Version 5.48.0 - 2026-May-22

Added (ALL modes)

  • Added Hebrew (he-IL) localization for the onboard SDK module. Pass he-IL to CommonConfig.Builder.setLocalizationLanguage(...) to render the SDK UI in Hebrew, and to SessionConfig.Builder.setLanguage(...) to enable Hebrew voice-consent transcription. (Both he-IL and the legacy Java-style he_IL form are accepted by setLocalizationLanguage. The Android resource folder uses the legacy ISO 639-1 qualifier values-iw/ internally — this is a platform requirement and not an integrator-facing identifier.) {/* ENG-43243 */}
  • Lottie animations and vector drawables in V2 modules (IdScan, SelfieScan) now inherit colors from the SDK color scheme, aligned with the ID capture design guidelines and face capture design guidelines. Customer-overridden animation resources are automatically detected and left unchanged. {/* ENG-42745 */}
  • Local Room databases are now encrypted at rest using SQLCipher. Existing unencrypted databases are automatically migrated to encrypted format on first access. See Licenses for the SQLCipher attribution that must be reproduced if your app ships an open-source licenses screen. {/* ENG-38849 */}
  • Added a persistent dim overlay around the silhouette on the SelfieScan V2 manual capture screen. {/* ENG-43240 */}
  • Added Phone V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled. {/* ENG-40430 */}

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added support for verifying identity using Google Wallet IDs within the IdScan module, via the new optional com.incode.sdk:wallets dependency. Enable per-module with IdScan.Builder.setGoogleWalletIdEnabled(true), and switch between production and sandbox environments via IncodeWelcome.Builder.setGoogleWalletEnvironment(...). The optional wallets module requires minSdk 28. {/* ENG-38379 */}

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Fixed an issue where Kotlin interface callbacks with default implementations in the onboard module required empty overrides from Java integrators; they are now emitted as Java default methods and are optional overrides for both Kotlin and Java integrators. This includes the per-attempt SelfieScanListener and IdScanListener callbacks introduced in 5.47.0: {/* ENG-45401 */}
    • SelfieScanListener.onSelfieScanReady
    • SelfieScanListener.onSelfieScanAttemptCompleted
    • IdScanListener.onIdScanReady
    • IdScanListener.onIdFrontAttemptCompleted
    • IdScanListener.onIdBackAttemptCompleted
  • Face Authentication V2 module: Fixed SelfieScan.Builder().setCaptureAttempts not being respected when the captured selfie did not match the identity provided via CommonConfig.Builder().setFaceAuthenticationHint(...); the flow ended after the first attempt instead of allowing the configured number of retries. {/* ENG-41889 */}
  • Fixed button label clipping on long or translated strings: IncodeButton now auto-sizes its text, shrinking the font before adding ellipsis, and wraps multi-word labels to two lines. {/* ENG-40699 */}
  • Security improvements. {/* ENG-43788 */}
  • Fixed the verification-complete confirmation message in ApproveActivity and the overall score in ResultsActivity (the SHOW_RESULTS module) not being announced as accessibility headings by TalkBack. {/* ENG-44450 */}
  • Accessibility improvements in the Dynamic Forms module. {/* ENG-43908 */}
  • Fixed Login flow rendering the legacy selfie tutorial instead of the V2 tutorial when showTutorials was enabled. {/* ENG-40556 */}
  • Updated the Proof of Address tutorial screen design and improved the layout of the review screen. {/* ENG-43369 */}
  • Fixed inconsistent V1/V2 UX rendering across onboarding modules within a single flow. The V2 feature gate is now properly awaited before the first module starts, so IdScan, SelfieScan, and other modules consistently render the same UX version. {/* ENG-40556 */}
  • Corrected typos, grammar, and British-English spellings in customer-facing Javadoc, KDoc, and Markdown documentation. {/* ENG-45177, ENG-45329 */}
  • Fixed SelfieScan.Builder.setLogo(...) not being applied to the toolbar on the V2 selfie capture screen. {/* ENG-45653 */}
  • Changed the default values of the setHeadCoverCheckEnabled() and setMaskCheckEnabled() methods to true in the SelfieScan.Builder. {/* ENG-44795 */}
  • Changed the default values of the setHeadCoverCheckEnabled() and setMaskCheckEnabled() methods to true in the VideoSelfie.Builder. {/* ENG-33210 */}
  • Fixed a Spanish localization typo on the camera permission screen: Salir del processo is now Salir del proceso. {/* ENG-45754 */}

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed a VideoSelfieActivity crash when Android recreates the activity while the video selfie upload screen is being restored. {/* ENG-44567 */}
  • Fixed a rare crash (FileNotFoundException / UndeliverableException) during selfie video upload when SelfieScanVideoRecordVideo.mp4 was missing or unflushed at upload time. Failures now route through the standard retry UI / SelfieScanListener.onError path instead of crashing the flow. {/* ENG-45000 */}

Added dependencies

  • androidx.credentials:credentials:1.5.0 (required only when using the new optional wallets module) {/* ENG-38379 */}
  • androidx.credentials:credentials-play-services-auth:1.5.0 (required only when using the new optional wallets module) {/* ENG-38379 */}
  • net.zetetic:sqlcipher-android:4.6.1 {/* ENG-38849 */}

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.13
  • nfc 1.5.4
  • wallets 1.0.0 (new optional module)

Version 5.47.0 - 2026-May-07

Added (ALL modes)

  • Updated core-light module to v3.0.12: incorporating libRecogKitAndroid.so v3.9.1; updating the on-device liveness model used by SelfieScan and FaceAuthentication (model-liveness-detection 3.2.2) {/* ENG-42832 */}
  • Added allAttemptsExhausted flag to IdScanResult and SelfieScanResult indicating when capture or upload retries are no longer available. {/* ENG-41980 */}
  • Added per-attempt IdScan callbacks onIdFrontAttemptCompleted / onIdBackAttemptCompleted to IdScanListener (and IncodeWelcome.OnboardingListener). They fire after every individual capture attempt, including intermediate failures. The terminal attempt is signaled when IdScanResult.allAttemptsExhausted is true or when the attempt succeeds. {/* ENG-44025 */}
  • Added per-attempt SelfieScan callback onSelfieScanAttemptCompleted to SelfieScanListener (and IncodeWelcome.OnboardingListener). It fires after every individual selfie capture attempt, including intermediate failures. The terminal attempt is signaled when SelfieScanResult.allAttemptsExhausted is true or when the attempt succeeds. {/* ENG-44025 */}
  • Added missing Javadocs for IncodeWelcome entry-point APIs. {/* ENG-42384 */}
    • startOnboarding(...)
    • startOnboardingSection(...) (all overloads)
    • startWorkflow(...)
    • startFaceLogin(...) (all overloads)
    • startFlow(...) (all overloads)
    • startFlowFromDeeplink(...) (all overloads)
    • finishOnboarding(...)
  • Added Geolocation.setSkippable(boolean) to control what happens when the user denies the location permission and taps Skip this step in the V2 flow. When skippable, the flow continues; otherwise it ends with OnboardingListener.onError (and OnboardingListener.onGeolocationUnavailable). The flag is also wired up to the dashboard's Allow user to skip geolocation toggle for both Flows and Workflows configurations. {/* ENG-44725 */}
  • Updated the V2 Geolocation skip button label to read Skip this step when Geolocation.setSkippable(true) and Quit process when Geolocation.setSkippable(false), on both the permission-denied and location-unavailable screens. {/* ENG-44725 */}
  • Added LocationPermissionDeniedException, raised by the V2 Geolocation flow when the user exits from the permission-denied screen. GeolocationUnavailableException is now reserved for the location-unavailable and max-retries exit paths. {/* ENG-44725 */}

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added an on-device face occlusion check available in SelfieScan (V1 and V2) and FaceAuthentication. Configure it locally via setFaceOcclusionEnabled(...) and setFaceOcclusionSeverity(...) on the respective Builder classes, or from the dashboard's isOcclusionEnabled / occlusionSeverity settings for the respective modules. The feature requires the new optional com.incode.sdk:model-face-occlusion dependency. {/* ENG-42832 */}
  • Added the setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled() API to the SelfieScan V2 module to support on-device face processing. When enabled, liveness detection and age estimation run entirely on the user's device. No biometric images leave the SDK. {/* ENG-42833 */}
    • setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled() requires E2EE, supports auto-capture only, and has other configuration constraints. See the Javadoc for more details. {/* ENG-42834 */}
  • Implemented on-device age estimation in the SelfieScan V2 module behind setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled(), available via the new optional com.incode.sdk:model-age-estimation dependency. {/* ENG-42956 */}
  • Added Digital ID validation for selected PDF files to reject uploads larger than 5 MB with an appropriate error state. {/* ENG-41833 */}

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Updated the SDK's internal encrypted storage to a more reliable, future-proof implementation. Existing data is migrated transparently on first launch after upgrade. {/* ENG-43283 */}
  • Improved reliability of internal encrypted storage on low-end devices that previously experienced intermittent encryption failures. {/* ENG-44915 */}
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were reported as unknown. {/* ENG-37626 */}
  • Removed internal SDK implementation details from the Javadoc that were not relevant to integration. {/* ENG-42390 */}
  • Fixed missing back-side tutorial in the IdScan V2 flow when IdScan.ScanStep.BACK is used with ID tutorials enabled. {/* ENG-43309 */}
  • Fixed IdScan V2 reporting IdScanResult.scanStatus = RESULT_ERROR_UNKNOWN for wrong-document-side captures; now correctly reports RESULT_ERROR_WRONG_ID_SIDE. {/* ENG-44025 */}
  • Fixed an issue where IncodeWelcome.startWorkflow() only logged a ModuleConfigurationException at startup and did not invoke OnboardingListener.onError(). {/* ENG-42384 */}
  • Fixed the image quality severity configured on the Dashboard being ignored by the SelfieScan module; the configured severity is now honored. {/* ENG-42834 */}
  • Fixed a rare camera stack issue where IdScan or SelfieScan could fail during capture on certain devices. {/* ENG-44612 */}

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.12
  • model-liveness-detection 3.2.2
  • model-face-occlusion 0.2.0 (new optional module)
  • model-age-estimation 2.2.2 (new optional module)

Warning

Use the BOM to keep SDK module versions aligned when upgrading. If versions are managed manually, refer to the updated dependency versions in the Module Versions section below.

Added (ALL modes)

  • Added accessibility (TalkBack) support for all Dynamic Forms input fields. Screen readers now announce field labels, required state, current values or hints, and validation errors. {/* ENG-36095 */}
  • Face Authentication: Enriched unknown error reporting with original exception details and cause chain for better diagnostics on the Dashboard. {/* ENG-41950 */}
  • Added the possibility to enable UXV2 modules directly from the Dashboard configuration. {/* ENG-39454 */}
  • Enabled high resolution ID and Face capture via clientExperimentId. Pass high_res_capture (optionally combined with other experiments using |, e.g. experimentV2|high_res_capture) to opt in. {/* ENG-42693 */}
  • Migrated the CURP module to the V2 design system (Compose), including a "Non-Binary/Other" gender option. {/* ENG-32746 */}

  • Improved TalkBack accessibility in the IdScan V2 module: better semantic grouping, button roles, content descriptions, live region announcements, and focus management. {/* ENG-38923 */}
  • Improved button accessibility in V2 Compose screens. {/* ENG-36601 */}
  • The SelfieScan module outline ring now inherits its coloring from the color scheme, aligned with the face capture design guidelines. {/* ENG-39275 */}
  • Improved accessibility behavior for Compose-based SDK modal components by adding stronger dialog semantics and deterministic initial focus handling for permission and picker dialogs. {/* ENG-36664 */}
  • Fixed the overlay transition around the silhouette for SelfieScan V2 module. {/* ENG-37350 */}
  • Fixed incorrect initial TalkBack focus in IdScan V2 by hiding interactive elements during pre-initialization and controlling traversal order for buttons and the module header. {/* ENG-41985 */}
  • The SDK now throws an ExternalTokenRequiredException when a /0 URL is configured and no external token is provided — either the base URL, or the E2EE URL while E2EE is enabled. Previously, the E2EE variant caused a crash with lateinit property has not been initialized in the E2EE interceptor. {/* ENG-42681 */}
  • Fixed an issue where video recording could fail if the recording directory did not exist before starting recording. {/* ENG-42495 */}
  • Improved ID capture sharpness on the CameraX (V2) camera stack: enabled best-candidate selection during the capture countdown, and prevented automatic macro camera switching on multi-camera devices (API Level 28+). {/* ENG-43000 */}
  • Restored missing camera-opened analytics events on the V2 capture path. {/* ENG-42693 */}
  • Fixed a DexGuard class-inlining issue where optional dependency references (Huawei, Sardine) could be merged into SDK classes, causing runtime crashes when those dependencies are not present. {/* ENG-42342 */}
  • Fixed dynamic localization not being applied in UXV2 modules due to the localized Context not being propagated. The issue was introduced in 5.45.1. {/* ENG-43342 */}
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were reported as unknown. {/* ENG-31533 */}
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were incorrectly reported as a failure on certain devices. {/* ENG-43638 */}
  • Improved Lottie animation playback smoothness on the ID capture tutorial screen. {/* ENG-43838 */}
  • Improved camera compatibility, reducing false unsupported-device errors. {/* ENG-41887 */}
  • Fixed an issue where the QES and AES module activities did not close after publishing results. {/* ENG-42140 */}
  • Introduced unified searchable and plain dropdown components — used by Dynamic Forms (country selector, select inputs) and the CURP V2 module — with improved TalkBack announcements, focus handling, and validation feedback. The country selector now supports searching (type to filter). {/* ENG-38102, ENG-42379 */}

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed IncodeWelcome.SSLConfig not being accessible as a public API and custom SSL configuration not being applied correctly. {/* ENG-40537 */}

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.11

Warning

Use the BOM to keep SDK module versions aligned when upgrading. If versions are managed manually, refer to the updated dependency versions in the Module Versions section below.

Added (ALL modes)

  • Added dark mode support for drawables in V2 modules. Custom drawables can now provide a drawable-night variant that is automatically resolved based on the active display mode. {/* ENG-41311 */}
  • Added MODULE_VERSION info for SelfieScan, FaceAuthentication and FaceMatch modules to the module-opened analytics event. {/* ENG-42835 */}

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • IdScan and SelfieScan V2 modules now survive configuration changes (e.g., theme change). {/* ENG-39703 */}
  • Fixed close header button visibility issue on the manual photo review screen in IdScan V2 flow. {/* ENG-40831 */}
  • Fixed an issue where the manual capture button in the SelfieScan V2 module was not properly announced by TalkBack because it did not have a contentDescription. {/* ENG-41983 */}
  • Fixed setShowFooter(false) not being applied in the Geolocation V2 module - the footer was always visible regardless of the IncodeUXConfig setting. {/* ENG-42534 */}
  • Fixed missing "Get Ready" circle spinner on selfie capture when face re-enters constraints after being lost or after capture timeout. {/* ENG-42735 */}
  • Improved selfie ML model loading performance: models now load lazily on a background thread and in parallel, reducing main thread blocking during SDK initialization and selfie screen startup. {/* ENG-42727 */}

Module Versions

    • Added a Download Document section to the post-signing screen.
  • Enabled the SelfieScan module to appear over the lock screen, supporting use cases like unlocking the device via Face Login. {/* ENG-28350 */}
  • Added setShowSelfieStepFirst() method to VideoSelfie.Builder. This method allows the integrator to show the Selfie step before the ID step in the VideoSelfie module. Default value is false, which means that the ID step is shown first. {/* ENG-28366 */}
  • The NFC scanning bottom sheet is now displayed on a transparent activity, allowing the integrator's screen to remain visible in the background during the scan. See the Integration Example for usage. {/* ENG-28096 */}.

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added support for the "Single frame" and "Video Liveness" "Deepsight Liveness" Face Capture configuration options on the Incode Dashboard to the startOnboarding() and startOnboardingSection() APIs. To use these options, create a Flow on the Incode Dashboard with the desired Face Capture configuration and provide the ID of this flow when creating the SessionConfig via SessionConfig.Builder().setConfigurationId("[FLOW_ID_FROM_INCODE_DASHBOARD]"). Similarly, providing an externalToken from a session configured to use the aforementioned Face Capture configuration will be honored. {/* ENG-27130 */}
  • Added the setReturnResultImmediately() API to the NfcScan module to return the result immediately after the NFC scan is completed, skipping the result UI screen. When using this API, it is the integrator's responsibility to handle the result and any necessary retries of the NFC scan. {/* ENG-28908 */}
  • Added an option to prefill the phone number in the Phone module based on the user's previously stored identity. {/* ENG-26301 */}

  • Fixed a crash when opening the camera. This crash was found on the emulator, but it could potentially affect some real-world devices with specific camera configurations. {/* ENG-29087 */}
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when the SelfieScan module starts the camera. The NPE was caused by accessing a camera property before it was fully initialized. {/* ENG-28889 */}
  • Fixed a crash in the GlobalWatchlist module caused by view initialization on a non-UI thread during module start. {/* ENG-29051 */}
  • Fixed a crash during SDK initialization caused by usage of an internal method from the okhttp3.internal package. This crash could have affected any integrations using OkHttp 4.9.3 or later. The method has been replaced with an equivalent Kotlin-native implementation. {/* ENG-28614 */}
  • Fixed a NullPointerException that happens when NFC document does not contain a photo. {/* ENG-29091 */}
  • Fixed a crash when starting the DocumentScan module without the tutorial or document provider options screens if the DocumentType to be scanned could not be determined. {/* ENG-28889 */}

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed an issue where the Government Validation module failed to function correctly when end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is enabled. {/* ENG-27029 */}
