v3.21.0

What's New

• Update to BlinkID v7.8 for document capturing and extraction.

v3.20.0

What's New

• Update to BlinkID v7.7.1 for document capturing and extraction.

New features

• Added a "document not supported" alert - when an unsupported document is detected during scanning, the user is now clearly notified via an alert.
• Passport-specific scanning
  • Added custom passport animations - users are now guided with tailored animations when scanning passports, improving the scanning experience for passport documents.
  • Added scanUnsupportedBack and scanPassportDataPageOnly options to BlinkIdVerifyScanningSettings, allowing control over whether the back side of unsupported documents is scanned and whether only the passport data page (MRZ page) is required.
• Added new and improved analytics pipeline.

API changes

• Session API renamed:
  • VerifyCaptureSession to BlinkIdVerifyScanningSession
  • VerifyCaptureSessionSettings to BlinkIdVerifySessionSettings
  • VerifyProcessResult to BlinkIdVerifyProcessResult
  • ProcessResult has been removed; use BlinkIdVerifyProcessResult
• Added new property generativeAiMatchLevel in BlinkIdVerifyProcessingRequestOptions.
• Added new properties to ExtractionImageAnalysisResult:
  • documentClassInfo
  • documentOrientation
  • documentRotation
• UX event types renamed:
  • DocumentFrameAnalysisResult to VerifyDocumentImageAnalysisResult (now wraps ExtractionImageAnalysisResult instead of FrameAnalysisResult).
  • DocumentLocatedLocation to BlinkIdVerifyDocumentLocatedLocation (now uses Quadrilateral instead of DocumentLocation).
• dispatchVerifyEvents extension function on ScanningUxEventHandler has been removed. Use the updated VerifyUxTranslator directly.
• VerifyProcessingStatus.None has been renamed to VerifyProcessingStatus.Unknown.
• Scanning settings restructured: Session settings are now passed via BlinkIdVerifySessionSettings with nested BlinkIdVerifyScanningSettings, which consolidates image quality, match levels, and use-case options that were previously spread across multiple configuration objects.
• CheckResult and VerificationSideMode classes have been removed.
• Updated CaptureConditions to include values NoControl, Basic, Hybrid.
• Added convenience method in BlinkIdVerifyCaptureResult toBlinkIdVerifyRequest() that automatically derives shared on-device and backend options from the session settings, reducing the risk of mismatched configuration.
• DocumentAlreadyScannedException renamed to ScanAlreadyCompletedException.

The following changes will impact your implementation only if you have advanced SDK customizations and don’t use the default Activity or Composable:

• DocumentSide(Front, Back, Barcode) renamed to UiScanningSide (First, Second, Barcode).
• CommonStatusMessage changed its members (to remove Document, Front, and Back occurrences):
  • ScanFrontSide to ScanFirstSide
  • ScanBackSide to ScanSecondSide
  • FlipDocument to Flip
  • KeepDocumentVisible to KeepVisible
  • AlignDocument to Align
  • ScanBarcode, RotateDocument, RotateDocumentShort, KeepFacePhotoVisible, IncreaseLightingIntensity, DecreaseLightingIntensity, EliminateGlare and FilterSpecificMessage have been moved from CommonStatusMessage to BlinkIdStatusMessage
• Composable HelpScreens is implemented through a list of HelpScreenPage data classes.
• Composable OnboardingDialog is implemented through a single HelpScreenPage instance.
• Error dialogs for the default UI are now defined in the ComposableUtils.kt file.
• MbBlinkIdVerifyCapture now uses ScanActivityColors, ScanActivitySettings, ScanActivityResultStatus(Scanned, Canceled, ErrorSdkInit).
• Changed members of ScanningUxEvent:
  • RequestDocumentSide(DocumentSide) to RequestSide(UiScanningSide)
• Added LightColorScheme and DarkColorScheme.
• Removed DocumentDrawable (composable used for FlipAnimation) - animations now directly use a Drawable.
• DocumentFlipAnimation replaced with FlipAnimation.

Improvements and bug fixes

• SDK and session lifecycle management improvements and bug fixes.
• Removed MoveDocumentFromEdge scanning UI message.
• Introduced MbLog for structured SDK logging, replacing direct Android Log calls. Integrators can set the log level via SDK settings.
• Compile and target SDK set to API level 36.
• UI localization coverage has been expanded with additional languages.

v3.14.1

Improvements

• Added the option to use the front-facing camera for scanning. You can select front-facing camera through CameraSettings in a scanning screen Composable function or in scan activity settings.

v3.14.0

What's New

• Update to BlinkID v7.4 for document capturing and extraction
• Improved document coverage globally with new document version support and new document types
• Improved data extraction accuracy for Quebec and Ontario Healthcare cards

UI/UX Updates

• Complete scanning instruction messages revamp - the scanning session is now more stable and cleaner, which ensures a better scanning experience
• Added Typography customization to BlinkIdVerifyCaptureActivity through BlinkIdVerifyActivitySettings
• Added "Demo" overlay for the demo licenses (non-production)
• Added "Powered by Microblink" overlay option for licenses with this enabled
• Added new accessibility features

• Added a separate timeout timer for the Barcode step
• Updated help screens with new illustrations
• Updated "Need help?" tooltip triggers
• Updated translations for Croatian language

Bugfixes

• Fixed document number extraction from Canada/Nunavut barcodes
• Fixed data match overall result
• Replaced caching directory for storing downloaded resource files - avoid rare crashes on specific devices

Other API Changes

• Added additional functions for better interoperability with Java to following classes: BlinkIdVerifySdkSettings, BlinkIdSdkSettings, BlinkIdVerifyActivitySettings, BlinkIdScanActivitySettings, VerifyUxSettings, BlinkIdUxSettings, SdkStrings, BlinkIdSdkStrings, ParcelableTextStyle, ParcelableFont
• Renamed class StatusMessage to CommonStatusMessage
• Renamed Product enum to MbProduct
• dependentsInfo in VizResult is now nullable

v3.9.0

BlinkID integration

BlinkID SDK is now fully integrated into BlinkID Verify SDK.
All BlinkID-specific functionalities, like document extraction, may now be used in a session completely independent of the Verify session.
There is no need to declare BlinkID dependencies as all of the files are automatically included.

API changes:

• added BlinkIdVerifyCapture contract that enables running the document capture process through an independent activity
• added UI localization for 22 additional languages
• added additional ErrorReason for response codes
• renamed many classes to ensure compatibility with BlinkID SDK:
  • FieldType to VerifyFieldType
  • ProcessResult to VerifyProcessResult
  • StringResult to VerifyStringResult
  • DateResult to VerifyDateResult
  • VerificationRequest to BlinkIdVerifyRequest
  • DocumentVerificationEndpointResponse to BlinkIdVerifyEndpointResponse
  • CaptureSession to VerifyCaptureSession
  • CaptureSessionSettings to VerifyCaptureSessionSettings
  • ProcessingStatus to VerifyProcessingStatus
  • ClassInfo to DocumentClassInfo
  • UnrecoverableErrorState to ErrorState
  • All enums are now in camel-case
• renamed stepTimeoutDurationMs to stepTimeoutDuration and moved it to VerifyUxSettings class
• numerous other fixes and improvements

v3.8.0

BlinkID Verify SDK is a document-capturing SDK that performs image quality checks fully in line with the BlinkID Verify API.

By using this SDK along with BlinkID Verify API, you can expect the best possible document-capturing success rate and successful verification process without image quality-based rejections.

Key features:

• image quality estimation in real-time
• guided document capturing with user feedback
• full alignment with BlinkID Verify API
• client for sending requests to the BlinkID Verify API
