microblink/blinkid-flutter v8000.0.0

on GitHub

• Updated to Android SDK v8000.0.0 and iOS SDK v8000.0.0

What's new

• The list of all supported documents and result fields is now available here.
• SDK modularization & enhanced flexibility: We’ve transformed our core architecture. Features previously known as "fallback modes" are now independent SDK modules.
  • Tailored implementation: Users can now toggle specific modules such as Capture, Barcode, MRZ, or VIZ scanners to build a workflow that fits their exact needs.
  • Total control: This modular approach offers more flexibility, allowing you to use BlinkID as a comprehensive recognition tool or a specialized scanner, all while leveraging our latest feature updates.
• Expanded barcode support: When operating in Barcode Mode, BlinkID is no longer limited to PDF417.
  • Universal scanning: We've added support for QR codes, Code 128, Code 39, ITF, EAN, UPC, and DataMatrix.
  • Versatility: This expansion allows the SDK to be used across a wider variety of document types beyond standard IDs.
• Streamlined extraction & data redaction (anonymization): We are putting more power in the hands of our integrators by removing restrictive custom rules.
  • Document rules: Custom document rules have been removed. Customers can now implement their own logic based on result completeness to determine how a document is processed.
  • Data redaction (Anonymization): We’ve transitioned away from fixed data redaction (anonymization) rules. You can now programmatically decide which fields to mask and how to handle them based on the specific data returned.
  • We are transitioning our terminology from 'anonymization' to 'data redaction' to more accurately reflect the nature of this feature.
• Intelligent timeout mechanism: To balance performance with accuracy, we've introduced a new timeout feature
  • Non-Blocking scans: Ensures a smooth user experience by preventing "stuck" scan states.
  • Step-by-Step decisions: After each extraction step, you can decide whether the current data is sufficient or if the SDK should continue processing to gather more information.
• Document-specific improvements
  • EU residence permits: For documents with redundant fields on both the front and back, BlinkID now intelligently merges these into the top-level results for better data consistency.
  • Egypt driver’s license: Enhanced data extraction to now include Date of Birth (DOB) as an additional field.
  • Zimbabwe ID: Improved data extraction to support and return both alphabetic and numeric characters within the document number field.
  • We have added extraction of date of birth from document numbers on Egypt DL.
  • If a residence permit has a "remarks" field on both the front and back side, values of these fields will be combined in the top level result.

Bug fixes

• Date conversion accuracy: Resolved an issue where Islamic-to-Gregorian date conversions could occasionally differ by +/- 1 day. These conversions are now precise and consistent.
• We have fixed MRZ parsing rules for Zimbabwe ID and the new version of Brunei ID; these are now successfully extracted.

New segments supported on documents

• Pakistan, proof of registration: renamed fathersName to additionalNameInformation
• Mauritania, ID: renamed documentNumber to personalIdNumber

Requirements

• Flutter 3.44.1 or newer
• Dart 3.12.1 or newer
• iOS 16.0 or newer; Swift Package Manager must be enabled (flutter config --enable-swift-package-manager)
• Android API level 24 or newer; compileSdk 36; AGP 9.1.0; Kotlin 2.2.21
• Integrator apps do not need Jetpack Compose setup; Compose is used internally by BlinkID UX

Breaking changes

• Module-based scanning settings: flat fields on BlinkIdScanningSettings (e.g. glareDetectionLevel, CroppedImageSettings) are replaced by optional module configs: DocumentCaptureModuleSettings, MrzModuleSettings, BarcodeModuleSettings, VizModuleSettings
• UX settings: use BlinkIdScanningUxSettings (already renamed from BlinkIdUiSettings in v7.6; v8000 builds on the module model)
• Method signatures: performScan and performDirectApiScan use named parameters instead of positional arguments
• SDK settings constructor: BlinkIdSdkSettings(licenseKey: ...) — the v7 positional sdkLicenseKey parameter name is gone
• Class filter: prefer ClassFilter()..includeDocuments = [...] / ..excludeDocuments = [...] instead of ClassFilter.withIncludedDocumentClasses(...)
• Anonymization → redaction: AnonymizationSettings / fixed rules removed; use RedactionSettings (DirectAPI) or RedactionSettingsResolver (camera scan)
• Custom document rules removed: customDocumentRules on BlinkIdScanningSettings is no longer supported — implement completeness logic in your app
• Session timeouts: BlinkIdSessionSettings adds stepTimeoutDuration and inactivityTimeoutDuration (milliseconds)
• Enum/result changes: see Minor API changes below (VIRGIN_ISLANDS_US → VIRGIN_ISLANDS_OF_THE_UNITED_STATES, removed FieldType values, new cardAccessNumber, etc.)

For step-by-step migration examples, see the Migrating from v7.x section in the README and the native v8000 migration guide.
