BlinkID/blinkid-ios v5.9.0 on GitHub

5.9.0

New features

We’ve added a new feedback message to users, prompting them to keep a document fully visible in cases when they accidentally cover a part of it with their finger or an object:
- It appears while scanning the document using MBBlinkIdOverlayViewController
- It will display an error message "Keep the document fully visible".
- It is displayed only if you’re using MBBlinkIdRecognizer or MBBlinkIdCombinedRecognizer for scanning.
We added Carthage support
- For now, Carthage is supported for fat binaries, .framework. We will support .xcframework as soon Carthage is updated.
- Please check out our guide for implementation
We added Swift Package Manager support
- Please check out our guide for implementation.
We’ve introduced a new MBFrameRecognitionRecognizerRunnerViewControllerDelegate protocol which is invoked each time a camera frame from a video stream is recognized.

Note on ARM Macs

We are supporting ARM64 Device slice through our .xcframework format.
We are still working on supporting the ARM64 Simulator slice for newly released ARM Macs. We will update our SDK with ARM64 Simulator support as soon as it’s out.

iOS Version support change:

We are no longer supporting iOS 8.

Cocapods support change:

We are updating our Cocoapods with .xcframework format from now on. Please download Cocoapods 1.10.0 or newer to use our SDK.

New features and updates to the BlinkId(Combined)Recognizer

We’re now able to read partial MRZ formats (2.5 lines), like the ones found on Switzerland and Liechtenstein DLs.
We’ve added **documentOptionalAdditionalNumber** to the main part of the result, as well as front and back side VIZ results.
We’ve expanded the set of possible recognizer states with **StageValid**. This state fixes MBBlinkIdCombinedRecognizer timeout issues, and enables better control of the Combined scanning pipeline. It activates when the first side of a document has been successfully scanned and scanning of the second side is required.

Major API changes:

We've added an error callback when setting license keys on MBMicroblinkSDK
- You will be getting error callback containing the reason why you could not unlock the SDK - see MBLicenseError

Minor API changes:

Swift:
- All unsigned integers are now Int

Fixes

We’ve fixed an uncommon bug where you’d get incomplete results upon scanning of the MRZ with the allowUnparsed setting enabled.
We've fixed some camera session issues
We are now handling camera session interruption
