Android SDK Release Notes

Warning

Starting November 1, 2025, Google Play blocks 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. It is strongly recommended you upgrade to the latest release.

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 5.52.0 - 2026-August-20

API Changes (refer to Migration Guide for details)

  • Status gains UNSUPPORTED and COULD_NOT_COMPLETE values. DeviceStats.motionStatus does not emit them. Please see Migration Guide for details if you do an exhaustive when over Status.

Added (ALL modes)

  • Added OnboardingListener.onInterrupted() so integrators are notified when Android tears down the SDK Activity stack externally (not via SDK completion, cancel, or close). The callback defaults to a no-op, so existing subclasses need no changes.
  • Improved SelfieScan and IdScan V2 analytics.

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Dynamic Forms questions configured with a prefill source in the dashboard are now automatically populated from the user's ID Capture/OCR data before the form is shown.
  • Added the final Namirial Review and sign screen with two plain consent checkboxes and a scrollable certificate application form. The Sign button becomes available after both consents are selected.

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Fixed a duplicate close (X) button appearing on the Combined Consent screen when the close button is enabled.
  • Fixed main-thread ANR risk during Sentry re-initialization, clearLocalData(), audio recording start/stop retries, and Camera1 open. Those operations now run off the calling thread so the UI stays responsive.
  • Security improvements.
  • Fixed the published API reference (Javadoc) rendering <Error class: unknown class> instead of type names, and some member links that went nowhere. Type names and links are now correct.

Fixed (STANDARD and Submit-Only modes)

  • Fixed captures (including face authentication) being rejected with HTTP 400 Invalid argument on devices whose clock was set incorrectly. An incorrect device clock no longer triggers this rejection.

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed Dynamic Forms country answers being sent and reported as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (for example, "RS"). Country answers are now sent and reported as alpha-3 (for example, "SRB"), which the dashboard resolves to a country name.

  • org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.9.25 -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:2.2.21. Any module compiling Kotlin source with the SDK on its classpath now requires Kotlin 2.2.x or newer; see the Migration Guide.
  • org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.5.0 -> org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.7.3

Build requirements

  • compileSdk must be 36 or higher when embedding this SDK version.
  • The Kotlin Gradle plugin must be 2.2.x (2.2.21 or newer). The SDK is compiled with Kotlin 2.2.21, so apps on an older Kotlin compiler may fail to compile against it with a Kotlin metadata-incompatibility error.
  • Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.9.1 or higher is required (needed for compileSdk 36).
  • Gradle 8.14.5 or higher is required (needed by AGP 8.9.1).
  • kotlinx-coroutines 1.9.0 or higher is now required. CameraX 1.6.1 pulls this version in transitively, so no manual declaration is needed, but your project's coroutines version must be at least 1.9.0.

API Changes (refer to Migration Guide for details)

  • The QES constructor is no longer public; construct the module via QES.Builder. See Migration Guide for details.

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added the QES (Qualified Electronic Signature) V2 module with the new Compose UI, including an optional document-upload screen and an in-app document viewer with pinch-to-zoom. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.
  • Added QES.Builder.setUploadDocument(...) and QES.Builder.setProviderCode(...) to show a document-upload screen before signing and to select the qualified signature provider for the session.
  • Added a Review & Sign experience in the QES module that displays provider-specific terms and consents for the user to review and accept.

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Sped up IdScan and SelfieScan by removing the internal frame-rate limit, so the camera now analyzes frames as fast as the device allows for a quicker, smoother capture.
  • Security improvements.
  • Connectivity checks now use NetworkCapabilities instead of the deprecated getActiveNetworkInfo() API, so VPN connections are correctly treated as online.
  • SDK error logs now always include the full error cause, making reported issues easier to diagnose from device logs.
  • Fixed androidx.compose.* runtime crashes on Compose (V2) screens. The SDK now requires Compose Material3 1.4.0 and Compose 1.8.0 or newer. Please refer to the Migration Guide for details.
  • Fixed a crash (NoClassDefFoundError: okhttp3.internal.Util) when an integrating app resolved OkHttp/logging-interceptor to a 5.x version different from the SDK's compiled dependency. The SDK's OkHttp and logging-interceptor dependency is now 5.3.2, so integrators pinning OkHttp to 5.x no longer conflict with the SDK's classpath.
  • The SDK's internal storage migration could delete a Keystore master key alias shared with the host app's own EncryptedSharedPreferences, leaving unrelated host app data permanently undecryptable (AEADBadTagException) after upgrade. The migration no longer touches that shared key.
  • Fixed authentication device data not syncing to the Dashboard, which caused NA values or missing records. Updating to this version restores syncing.
  • Fixed a first-launch race in the SDK's encrypted-database initialization that could permanently corrupt a local database, causing a host-app crash (OnErrorNotImplementedException, file is not a database) on every later launch, most visibly when opening the selfie camera in Login flows. Affected devices now recover automatically on the next launch: the corrupted database is deleted and recreated. Locally enrolled face templates and unsynced face-login attempts stored in that database are lost, so affected users must re-enroll for local face login.

Changed (non-CAPTURE_ONLY modes)

  • Minimized the data collected and sent when on-device face processing (SelfieScan.Builder.setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled(true)) is enabled, in line with the privacy-centric intent of on-device flows.

Removals

  • Removed the deviceStats field from BaseResult, so it is no longer present on the Result classes that never carried it (for example FaceMatchResult, VideoSelfieResult, EKYCResult). deviceStats remains available on IdScanResult and SelfieScanResult. Please refer to the Migration Guide for details.

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.16
  • nfc 1.5.8

Version 5.50.0 - 2026-July-22

API Changes (refer to Migration Guide for details)

  • SelfieScan.Builder.setVideoLivenessRecordingEnabled(Boolean) is deprecated. Use SelfieScan.Builder.setDeepsightConfiguration(...) instead.
  • IdScan primary constructor gains motionEnabled: Boolean = false. Kotlin source callers are unaffected; Java callers using the primary constructor directly must recompile. IdScan.Builder callers are unaffected. Please see Migration Guide for details.

Added (ALL modes)

  • Added NFC Scan V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.
  • Added a typed date input with a calendar picker to V2 form date fields.
  • Added SelfieScan.Builder.setDeepsightConfiguration(...) and FaceAuthentication.Builder.setDeepsightConfiguration(...) to configure the Deepsight liveness modality (DeepsightConfiguration.Modality.SINGLE_FRAME, DeepsightConfiguration.Modality.MULTIMODAL, or DeepsightConfiguration.Modality.VIDEO_LIVENESS) and motion collection, matching the three options available in the Dashboard.
  • Added DeepsightConfiguration.Builder.setEnabled(Boolean) to enable or disable Deepsight liveness independently from motion collection. When false, liveness modality selection is skipped while motionEnabled still applies. Defaults to true.
  • Added IdScan.Builder.setMotionEnabled(Boolean) to enable motion data collection during ID scan in SdkMode.CAPTURE_ONLY. In STANDARD, FLOW, and WORKFLOW modes the server-side configuration takes precedence. Defaults to false.

Added (STANDARD, Submit-Only, and Delayed modes)

  • Added SDK Diagnostics collection. Enabled by default; opt out with IncodeWelcome.Builder(this, WELCOME_API_URL, WELCOME_API_KEY).setDiagnosticsDataEnabled(false). Diagnostics are collected and uploaded for the standard onboarding flows (startOnboarding, startFlow, startWorkflow) in STANDARD, SUBMIT_ONLY, and DELAYED modes. startOnboardingSection() and SdkMode.CAPTURE_ONLY are not supported yet.

Added (STANDARD and Submit-Only modes)

  • Added IdScan.Builder.setExtractIdFace(...) to let integrations skip backend ID-face extraction for regulated-region sessions. Default remains true; when set to false, the SDK sends extractIdFace=false on front-ID uploads, including submit-only encrypted uploads, and downstream face-match is unavailable for that session.

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added Silent Network Authentication (SNA) as an alternative to SMS OTP in the Phone V2 module, enabled exclusively through the flow configuration (the snaVerification setting in the Dashboard) - there is no client-side API to turn it on. Uncovered numbers, transient failures, and devices below API 24 fall back to SMS OTP automatically. See the SNA guide for supported entry points, bundled permissions, the optional READ_PHONE_STATE 2G safeguard, and licensing notes.

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Selfie Scan and Face Authentication capture metadata now reports the Deepsight motion flag even when liveness is off, so the backend can validate it against the flow configuration (matching iOS and ID capture).
  • Fixed a crash when calling deviceStats.getMotionStatus() from any module result listener.
  • Fixed an encrypted-preferences race that could transiently drop a just-written value (such as the session token), occasionally causing authenticated requests to fail.
  • Added the IdInfo (OCR review) V2 module with the new Compose UI, including a processing screen, a success screen, and a submit-error screen with retry. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where server-side Face Login authentication via startFaceLogin() would allow a blocklisted user to log in. The SDK now denies the login (FaceLoginResult.success is false) on server-side 1:1 and 1:N face authentication, and a new SelfieScanResult.isBlocklisted flag is set whenever the backend reports the recognized user as blocklisted.
  • Updated Javadocs for SelfieScan.Builder.
  • Fixed an SDK-init ANR where IncodeWelcome.Builder.build() could block the calling thread for multiple seconds on a cold start, causing Input dispatching timed out when called synchronously during Activity creation. build() now returns promptly regardless of calling thread; database and key setup complete in the background.
  • Fixed the NFC Scan module ending the flow with an error when it ran as the first module with no prior ID data. The OCR review screen now opens so the user can enter the data manually.
  • Fixed the NFC Scan module showing the ID type chooser at the wrong step when idType was not pre-selected. The chooser now appears before OCR so the user can pick the document type first.

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed SelfieScan V2 so a detected spoof is surfaced on SelfieScanResult: isSpoofAttempt is now populated (true/false) and status reports STATUS_SPOOF_DETECTED instead of STATUS_GENERIC_ERROR, matching V1 and the documented contract.
  • Fixed Selfie Scan and Face Authentication getting stuck on the processing screen with no selfie uploaded when the video-liveness recording could not be produced or uploaded (e.g. the camera was invalidated mid-recording). The selfie is now submitted without the recording.
  • Fixed an issue where startOnboarding() and startOnboardingSection() executed the wrong Deepsight liveness mode when a flow was configured with both selfie and face authentication modules.
  • Fixed VideoSelfie uploads that could time out and leave the video missing on the dashboard. The SDK now retries failed uploads with backoff and surfaces a terminal error after exhausting retries instead of silently dropping the file.

Fixed (STANDARD, Submit-Only, and Delayed modes)

  • Fixed SDK Diagnostics (TrueSight) uploads being dropped after the session token was cleared (for example after deleteUserLocalData() or consent denial). Diagnostics now retain buffered entries across tokenless flushes and upload them on the next authenticated flush.

Fixed (Capture-Only mode)

  • Fixed IdScan.Builder.setMotionEnabled(true) being ignored in Capture-Only mode, causing the capture metadata to always report motion as disabled regardless of the client-side setting.

Changed (non-CAPTURE_ONLY modes)

  • SelfieScan.Builder.setDeepsightConfiguration(...) is now only applied in SdkMode.CAPTURE_ONLY. In all other modes (STANDARD, SUBMIT_ONLY, DELAYED) the server/flow configuration takes precedence and any code-side DeepsightConfiguration is ignored (a warning is logged).

Deprecations (ALL modes)

  • SelfieScan.Builder.setVideoLivenessRecordingEnabled(Boolean) is deprecated in favor of SelfieScan.Builder.setDeepsightConfiguration(...).

Documentation

  • Reorganized the SDK Customization Guide: V2 customization is now documented first, fully separated from the legacy V1 sections, and each generation now has its own logo and animations customization sections.
  • Updated the Google Wallet ID Setup And Testing Guide for SDK 5.50.0 availability, the googleWallet flow field, and direct invocation.

Added dependencies

  • com.idlayr:idlayr-sdk-android:2.4.0 (vendored inside onboard.aar; integrators do not add this themselves - see Licenses)

Module Versions

  • core-light 3.0.15
  • nfc 1.5.7

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.
  • 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.

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.
  • Added missing Javadocs for SelfieScanResult fields and STATUS_* constants, including @since links to the introducing or deprecating SDK versions where available.
  • 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.
  • Added Document Capture V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.
  • 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.
  • Added Email V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.
  • Refreshed the CombinedConsent module UI to align with the latest Incode design and added dark-mode support.

Added (STANDARD mode only)

  • Added Custom Watchlist V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled, with dark-mode support.

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Fixed the first streaming recording sometimes missing at onboarding start due to a token timing issue.
  • Fixed Face Login reopening the camera and capturing a second time after a successful login flow completed.
  • 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.
  • Security improvements.
  • Improved accessibility behavior for phone input field.
  • Fixed a crash in the CombinedConsent module when system font size is set to maximum.
  • 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.
  • Fixed the camera preview being visible on the status bar / notification line during SelfieScan, Face Authentication, and Face Login capture.
  • The SDK no longer contributes an io.sentry.proguard-uuid <meta-data> entry to the host app's merged manifest.
  • Fixed the IdScan V2 module to respect the configuration when the setShowRetakeScreenForManualCapture() method in the IdScan.Builder class is set to false.
  • Fixed a Duplicate class build failure when integrating the onboard SDK alongside another library whose obfuscated classes occupy the root JVM package.
  • Fixed unexpected focus jumps in Dynamic Forms fields.
  • 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.
  • Rewrote the deprecation messages on IncodeWelcome.fetchAllFlows(), IncodeWelcome.fetchFlow(), IncodeWelcome.downloadLibraries(), IncodeWelcome.isLibrariesReady(), IncodeWelcome.subscribeForLibrariesReady(), and the LibraryDownloadError enum to name the recommended replacements.
  • Fixed the IdScan V2 success screen displaying "Continue" instead of "Let's continue" on the label shown after a successful ID capture.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Updated dependencies

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

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Added a persistent dim overlay around the silhouette on the SelfieScan V2 manual capture screen.
  • Added Phone V2 module. Available when the V2 feature gate is enabled.

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.

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:
    • 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.
  • 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.
  • Security improvements.
  • 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.
  • Accessibility improvements in the Dynamic Forms module.
  • Fixed Login flow rendering the legacy selfie tutorial instead of the V2 tutorial when showTutorials was enabled.
  • Updated the Proof of Address tutorial screen design and improved the layout of the review screen.
  • 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.
  • Corrected typos, grammar, and British-English spellings in customer-facing Javadoc, KDoc, and Markdown documentation.
  • Fixed SelfieScan.Builder.setLogo(...) not being applied to the toolbar on the V2 selfie capture screen.
  • Changed the default values of the setHeadCoverCheckEnabled() and setMaskCheckEnabled() methods to true in the SelfieScan.Builder.
  • Changed the default values of the setHeadCoverCheckEnabled() and setMaskCheckEnabled() methods to true in the VideoSelfie.Builder.
  • Fixed a Spanish localization typo on the camera permission screen: Salir del processo is now Salir del proceso.

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed a VideoSelfieActivity crash when Android recreates the activity while the video selfie upload screen is being restored.
  • 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.

Added dependencies

  • androidx.credentials:credentials:1.5.0 (required only when using the new optional wallets module)
  • androidx.credentials:credentials-play-services-auth:1.5.0 (required only when using the new optional wallets module)
  • net.zetetic:sqlcipher-android:4.6.1

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)
  • Added allAttemptsExhausted flag to IdScanResult and SelfieScanResult indicating when capture or upload retries are no longer available.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Added missing Javadocs for IncodeWelcome entry-point APIs.
    • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
  • 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.
    • setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled() requires E2EE, supports auto-capture only, and has other configuration constraints. See the On-Device Age Estimation guide and the Javadoc for more details. for more details.
  • Implemented on-device age estimation in the SelfieScan V2 module behind setOnDeviceFaceResultsSubmissionEnabled(), available via the new optional com.incode.sdk:model-age-estimation dependency.
  • Added Digital ID validation for selected PDF files to reject uploads larger than 5 MB with an appropriate error state.

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.
  • Improved reliability of internal encrypted storage on low-end devices that previously experienced intermittent encryption failures.
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were reported as unknown.
  • Removed internal SDK implementation details from the Javadoc that were not relevant to integration.

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.
  • Face Authentication: Enriched unknown error reporting with original exception details and cause chain for better diagnostics on the Dashboard.
  • Added the possibility to enable UXV2 modules directly from the Dashboard configuration.
  • 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.
  • Migrated the CURP module to the V2 design system (Compose), including a "Non-Binary/Other" gender option.

Fixed (ALL modes)

  • Migrated Dynamic Forms text, date, select, and yes/no fields from legacy theme to V2 design system (IncodeTheme), applying consistent styling to match the previously updated phone and country selector inputs.
  • Improved TalkBack accessibility in the IdScan V2 module: better semantic grouping, button roles, content descriptions, live region announcements, and focus management.
  • Improved button accessibility in V2 Compose screens.
  • The SelfieScan module outline ring now inherits its coloring from the color scheme, aligned with the face capture design guidelines.
  • Improved accessibility behavior for Compose-based SDK modal components by adding stronger dialog semantics and deterministic initial focus handling for permission and picker dialogs.
  • Fixed the overlay transition around the silhouette for SelfieScan V2 module.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fixed an issue where video recording could fail if the recording directory did not exist before starting recording.
  • 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+).
  • Restored missing camera-opened analytics events on the V2 capture path.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were reported as unknown.
  • Fixed an issue where Behavioral Trust results were incorrectly reported as a failure on certain devices.
  • Improved Lottie animation playback smoothness on the ID capture tutorial screen.
  • Improved camera compatibility, reducing false unsupported-device errors.
  • Fixed an issue where the QES and AES module activities did not close after publishing results.
  • 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).

Fixed (STANDARD mode only)

  • Fixed IncodeWelcome.SSLConfig not being accessible as a public API and custom SSL configuration not being applied correctly.
