New Features

Updated the camera behavior to overcome the scanning challenges found on the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) and iPhone 14 Pro (Max) when using the built-in camera for barcode scanning. Our testing showed that barcodes that are less than 2 cm or ~1 inch in size (and usually have such small features) were impacted.

New textual hints and animations guide the user, if the camera is too close or too far to capture a document.
Redesigned ID Capture viewfinders to enable smoother drawing performance.
For ID cards issued by the United Arab Emirates data parsed from the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) is now returned automatically when IdDocumentType.IdCardVIZ and SupportedSides.FrontAndBack are selected.
Added textual hints and animations appearing when the document is detected to be too close or too far from the camera.
Improved recognition of cropped ID document images when using the SingleImageUploader frame source.

Added property SingleImageUploaderSettings.onlyCameraCapture to force the image to be captured by the camera instead of allowing the selection of an image from the device’s photo library.
Added ImageFrameSource. This new type of FrameSource allows to process a single image, file or ImageData <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ImageData>.
Added Camera.settings to Camera.

Fixed an issue on hints not being shown when the DataCaptureView is attached after id.IdCapture instance is created.

Added IdCaptureOverlay.setMoveCloserTextHint() and IdCaptureOverlay.setMoveFurtherAwayTextHint() that allow to set custom text for textual hints displayed when scanning a document.

Fixed an issue that caused the SDK to get stuck during loading on certain devices.

Fixed a crash (SIGILL) on Samsung Galaxy S9 (Exynos 9810 based) with Android version 8.

Fixed Id Verification Zone Comparison reported erroneously as not included in a license for some licenses that, in fact, include it.
Fixed the UI occassionally incorrectly presenting the front & back flow while capturing IdDocumentType.AAMVABarcode.
