SDK Configuration using only Face technology

Android

In order to use MobbID Android SDK in your application only for the face technology you must follow these steps:

• Include the sdk libraries by copying it to your application’s libs folder and add this line (change it to the current version) to your build.gradle file (dependencies section):

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation(name:'MobbIDSDK-Core-Android-5.0.0', ext:'aar')
    implementation(name:'MobbIDSDK-Face-Android-5.0.0', ext:'aar')
    // This module is only needed if you will use the default UI for face recognition
    implementation(name:'MobbIDSDK-Face-UX-Android-5.0.0', ext:'aar')
}

• Add a flatDir repository to your build.gradle file so that gradle can find the .aar files in your libs folder:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

• Add third party dependencies and package exclusions to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    ...
    // MobbID SDK 3rd party libraries
    // CORE
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.7
    implementation 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:2.5.0'

    // FACE
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.1.2"
}

Permissions

You don't need to declare any permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file since they are already declared in the libraries's AndroidManifest.xml and they will be merged automatically when you build your app.

iOS

The different MobbID biometric options are stand-alone technologies. In order to use only the MobbID Face technology you will need to follow the same steps detailed under the General Configuration section.

Instead of embedding all the frameworks in this case you will be needing just the following ones:

• MobbIDSDK_Core.framework
• MobbIDSDK_Face.framework

Likewise, the Run Script build phase only need to run those scripts belonging to the embedded frameworks:

sh "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH}/MobbIDSDK_Core.framework/remove_simulator_archs.sh"
sh "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH}/MobbIDSDK_Face.framework/remove_simulator_archs.sh"

Finally, the access to the device microphone is not required for Face technology thus it should not be specified unless another feature of your app requires it.
