• The messages for the errors that are retrieved from API are now detailed.

8.1.1 – Oct. 02, 2023

• Improved the on-device models.

• For some phone models, fixed the fatal device error.

• The hint text width can now exceed the frame width (when using the main camera).

implementation 'com.ozforensics.liveness:full:7.0.0'
implementation 'com.ozforensics.liveness:sdk:7.0.0'

    implementation 'com.ozforensics.liveness:on-device:6.3.4'

To launch these analyses, use runOnDeviceBiometryAnalysis and runOnDeviceLivenessAnalysis methods from the OzLivenessSDK class:

val mediaList: List<OzAbstractMedia> = ...
val biometryAnalysisResult: OzAnalysisResult = OzLivenessSDK.runOnDeviceBiometryAnalysis(mediaList)
val livenessAnalysisResult: OzAnalysisResult = OzLivenessSDK.runOnDeviceLivenessAnalysis(mediaList)
