pod install
- Import SDK by using "@import IDnowSDK"
As of XCode 9 there might be a chance that you experience a problem with your host apps AppIcon in case you use CocoaPods. One of the symptoms is that the AppIcon will not be visible if you run your app either on the simulator or a real device. There are many reasons why assets/resources are not present (wrong format, transparency, wrong size, ...) but one might be that the auto generated shell script which builds the pods resources misses a flag telling actool the name of the app-icon.
If you encounter this try to add the following to your projects Podfile exchanging <YOUR_PRODUCT> with the name of your project:
post_install do |installer|
copy_pods_resources_path = "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-<YOUR_PRODUCT>/Pods-<YOUR_PRODUCT>-resources.sh"
string_to_replace = '--compile "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}"'
assets_compile_with_app_icon_arguments = '--compile "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}" --app-icon "${ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME}" --output-partial-info-plist "${BUILD_DIR}/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist"'
text = File.read(copy_pods_resources_path)
new_contents = text.gsub(string_to_replace, assets_compile_with_app_icon_arguments)
File.open(copy_pods_resources_path, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }
end
- Add the following pod dependencies to your podfile:
pod 'Masonry', '~> 1.0.0'
pod 'SocketRocket', '~> 0.5.1'
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 3.1.0'
- Download the current release from and copy the idnow-sdk folder to your project directory
- Or add the repo as a git submodule (git lfs required. For the initial checkout do git lfs pull)
- Drag idnow-sdk folder into your Xcode project
- Add to your "Link binary with libraries" section
Webkit.framework
Accelerate.framework
libz.dylib
- Import 'IDnowSDK.h'
Note: To get the sample projects work, you have to call "pod install" to install dependencies.
The settings that should be used for the identification process provided by IDnow.
A token that will be used for instantiating a photo or video identification.
Your company id provided by IDnow.
Optional: The environment that should be used for the identification (DEV, TEST, LIVE)
The default value is IDnowEnvironmentNotDefined.
The used environment will then base on the prefix of the transaction token (DEV -> DEV, TST -> Test, else -> Live).
You can use the special IDnowEnvironmentCustom to define a custom IDnow installation. If this is done, you need to set the apiHost and websocketHost.
Optional: If set to false, the Error-Success-Screen provided by the SDK will not be displayed.
The default value of this property is true.
Optional: If set to false, the video overview check screen will not be shown befsore starting a video identification.
The default value of this property is true.
Optional: If set to true, the UI for the identification will always be displayed modal.
By default the value of this property is false and the identification UI will be pushed on an existing navigation controller if possible.
Optional: Specifies the presentation style for the modal ident viewcontroller.
E.g. Can be set to UIModalPresentationCurrentContext to allow presenting ident view controller within a popover on an iPad.
The target server url for REST calls if custom server is used.
The target server url for websocket calls if custom server is used.
The connection type to use to talk the backend. (Websocket (default) or long polling)
Warning: Branding is only allowed if you have the permissions from IDnow.
Optional color, that replaces the default text color. Default: A nearly black color Recommendation: Should be some kind of a dark color that does not collide with white color.

Optional color, that replaces the photo ident retake button text color. Default value: proceedButtonTextColor
Optional color, that replaces the default color of textfield backgrounds and borders Default: defaultTextColor
Optional color, that replaces the text color in the result screen, when an identification failed. Default: A red color
Optional color, that replaces the text color in the result screen, when an identification was successful. Default: A green color
Optional: Forces the light status bar style to match dark navigation bars. If you tint your navigation bar with a dark color by adjusting navigation bar appearance (e.g. a blue color) you can set this value to true. The statusbar style will then be adjusted to light in screens where the navigation bar is visible.
An optional font name that can be used to replace the regular font used by the SDK. Default: System Font: Helvetica Neue Regular (< iOS 9), San Francisco Regular (>= iOS 9)
An optional font name that can be used to replace the medium font used by the SDK. Default: System Font: Helvetica Neue Medium (< iOS 9), San Francisco Medium (>= iOS 9)
An optional font name that can be used to replace the light font used by the SDK. Default: System Font: Helvetica Neue Light (< iOS 9), San Francisco Light (>= iOS 9)
In order to use push notifications via the IDnow SDK it is neccessary that your own AppDelegate inherits from the provided IDnowAppDelegate. This is neccessary since the callbacks form Apple concerning registration and reception of push notifications is soley handled through the AppDelegate which is not part of our SDK. In case your own AppDelegate implements interfaces present in the IDnow SDK please make sure to make a call the super classes (IDnowAppDelegate) implementation as well.
Additionally we will need the production certifcate/key pair to send notifications via push to your app via our backend.

settings.userInterfaceLanguage = @"de"; // this field accepts the following languages (de,en,it,es,pt)
English and German Localizations are provided by the SDK (IDnowSDKLocalization.bundle) You can overwrite localisation in your own Localizable.strings files.
//Defined in the IDnowSDKLocalization.bundle
"NAVIGATION_ITEM_TITLE_DEFAULT" = "IDnow";
//Overwrite in your Localizable.strings file:
"NAVIGATION_ITEM_TITLE_DEFAULT" = "Video Ident";
