Android SDK release notes

v1.5.0​

What's new​

  • We've added kiosk mode support. This is helpful in applications where a tablet device is mounted on a wall, and your users are expected to scan their documents using the front camera only.
  • You can now upload PDF files when using the Manual Input capability.
  • The SDK is now available on Maven Central.

Updates​

We've updated our BlinkID Verify and BlinkCard dependencies:

  • The Scan & Verify ID capability now uses BlinkID Verify 3.14.1.
  • The Scan Payment Card capability now uses BlinkCard 2.12.0.

To read more about the new features supported by these upgrades, see the release notes for BlinkID Verify and BlinkCard.

1.4.3​

Bugfixes​

  • Fixed an issue where the SDK would not update after returning from the document scanning on some older Samsung devices.

1.4.2​

Breaking changes​

  • MicroblinkPlatformServiceSettings parameter update

    • The field hostUrl has been renamed to url.

    • Previously, hostUrl accepted only the base domain (e.g. https://www.myapi.com).

    • Now, url must include the full API transaction endpoint, for example: https://www.myapi.com/api/v1/transaction

Migration Guide​

  • Before:
MicroblinkPlatformServiceSettings(
    workflowId = "myWorkflow",
    hostUrl = "https://www.myapi.com",
    consent = consent
)
  • Now:
MicroblinkPlatformServiceSettings(
    workflowId = "myWorkflow",
    url = "https://www.myapi.com/api/v1/transaction",
    consent = consent
)

⚠️ This is a breaking change. All integrations must update to use the new url parameter with the full endpoint.
