BlinkID/blinkid-ios v6.0.0 on GitHub

6.0.0

When we say you can scan IDs across the globe, we really mean it. Our list of supported documents got richer now that we can scan IDs including Arabic and Cyrillic scripts. This fantastic new feature also covers multiscript IDs meaning that we extract data written in both Latin and Arabic data fields.

We’ve improved scanning accuracy for all IDs that hold a PDF417 or other barcode types. This means that the error rate is now 20% lower, which brings even cleaner and more reliable data with every scan of an identity document.

More detailed instructions on how to scan identity documents, via an intro tutorial or tooltip during scanning, leading to improved success rates in ID scanning and data extraction.

You asked, we listened! With v6, you’ll get more detailed error messages regarding end-user activity, to better understand if scans should be repeated or accepted.

Less code, less headaches! You can now implement basic Identity Document Scanning in a single line of code.

Renamed BlinkIdRecognier to BlinkIdSingleSideRecognizer
Renamed BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer to BlinkIdMultiSideRecognizer
We introduced new classes: StringResult, DateResult, and Date in order to support multiple alphabets. If a recognizer supports multiple alphabets, its result class (e.g., BlinkIdMultiSideRecognizer.Result) will return StringResult for results that previously returned String.
Added new result properties of an AdditionalProcessingInfo type that provides information about missingMandatoryFields, invalidCharacterFields, and extraPresentFields
Unified DataMatchResult and DataMatchDetailedInfo into a single structure DataMatchResult (removed dataMatchDetailedInfo result member)
Added new result member cardOrientation to ImageAnalysisResult structure
