SDK Configuration using only Fingerprint technology

Android

In order to use MobbID Android SDK in your application only for the fingerprint 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-Fingerprint-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 3rd party libraries provided in the .zip distribution file
    // MobbID SDK 3rd party libraries
    // CORE
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.7
    implementation 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:2.5.0'

    // FINGERPRINT
    implementation(name:"samsung-android-sdk-1.0.0", ext:'jar')
    implementation(name:"samsung-android-sdk-pass-1.2.0", ext:'jar')
}

Permissions

These are the permissions needed if you are going to use the fingerprint module

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />

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

The different MobbID biometric options are stand-alone technologies. In order to use only the MobbID Fingerprint 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_Fingerprint.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_Fingerprint.framework/remove_simulator_archs.sh"

Finally, the access to neither the device microphone nor the camera are not required for Fingerprint technology thus they should not be specified unless another feature of your app requires them.

... and that's it. We recommend taking a look at the biometric operations and the other options available for the fingerprint module.
