Selfie Capture

This guide has been designed to help you quickly and easily implement the Android SDK. Below, you'll find the step-by-step process for the complete integration. If you wish to customize the experience further, check out the iOS Customization section.

Initializing the SDK

To get started with the Unico Check iOS SDK, import the SDK and implement the AcessoBioManagerDelegate interface within the ViewController you want to use. The implementation of this class is straightforward and can be done with just a few lines of code.

All you need to do is instantiate the builder with the relevant context and override the callback methods with your application’s business logic:

.m:
#import "ViewController.h"
#import <AcessoBio/AcessoBio.h>

@implementation ViewController: UIViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];  
    unicoCheck = [[AcessoBioManager alloc]initWithViewController:self];
}

- (void)onErrorAcessoBioManager:(ErrorBio *)error {
  // your code
}

- (void)onSystemChangedTypeCameraTimeoutFaceInference {
  // your code
}

- (void)onSystemClosedCameraTimeoutSession {
  // your code
}

- (void)onUserClosedCameraManually {
  // your code
}
@end

import UIKit
import AcessoBio

class ViewController: UIViewController, AcessoBioManagerDelegate {
  var unicoCheck: AcessoBioManager!

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()      
    unicoCheck = AcessoBioManager(viewController: self)
  }

  func onErrorAcessoBioManager(_ error: ErrorBio!) {
      // your code
  }

  func onUserClosedCameraManually() {
      // your code
  }

  func onSystemClosedCameraTimeoutSession() {
      // your code
  }

  func onSystemChangedTypeCameraTimeoutFaceInference() {
      // your code 
  }
}

Environment configuration

Configure the environment that will be used to run the SDK. Use the enumerated environment that contains the following enumerates:

• PROD: for production environment;

• UAT: for approval environment.

See how to implement it in the example below:

  [unicoCheck setEnvironment:UAT];

 unicoCheck.setEnvironment(.UAT);

Implementing the Callback Functions

As shown in the previous example, the main task when implementing the AcessoBioManagerDelegate interface is configuring the callback methods. Each method is called in response to a specific return from the SDK.

Simply override the methods illustrated in the previous step with your application’s business logic:

Configuring Camera Mode

The SDK is preconfigured with intelligent framing and automatic capture. Configure the camera mode in the builder as follows:

.m:
- (IBAction)configureSmartCamera:(UIButton *)sender {
   [unicoCheck setSmartFrame:true];
   [unicoCheck setAutoCapture:true];
}

@IBAction func configureSmartCamera(_ sender: Any) {
    unicoCheck.setSmartFrame(true)
    unicoCheck.setAutoCapture(true)    
}

Implementing Delegates for Camera Events

The camera launch method needs to know how to handle situations when an image is successfully captured or when an error occurs during the process. The handling instructions are passed to the camera launch method by setting delegates, which are called in cases of success or error.

Through delegate configuration, you can specify what actions your app should take in the event of an error (using the onErrorSelfie method) or success (using the onSuccessSelfie method) in capturing images.

To set up the delegates, you must implement the SelfieCameraDelegate and AcessoBioSelfieDelegate interfaces:

.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AcessoBio/AcessoBio.h>
#import "SelfieCameraDelegate.h"

@interface ViewController: UIViewController <AcessoBioManagerDelegate, SelfieCameraDelegate,
   AcessoBioSelfieDelegate> {
  AcessoBioManager *unicoCheck;
  // Your code from previous and next steps here
}

import UIKit
import AcessoBio

class ViewController: UIViewController, AcessoBioManagerDelegate,
                      SelfieCameraDelegate, AcessoBioSelfieDelegate {    
  //Your code from previous and next steps here
}

onSuccessSelfie Method

Upon successful image capture, this method returns a SelfieResult object for subsequent API requests:

- (void)onSuccessSelfie:(SelfieResult *)result {
    NSLog(@"%@", result.base64);
} 

func onSuccessSelfie(_ result: AcessoBio.SelfieResult!) {
    // Your code
 }

The SelfieResult object provides two attributes: base64 and encrypted:

• Use base64 for preview in the app;

• Use encrypted for sending to REST APIs.

onErrorSelfie Method

If an error occurs during image capture, this method returns an ErrorBio object:

- (void)onErrorSelfie:(ErrorBio *)errorBio {
  // Your code
}

func onErrorSelfie(_ errorBio: ErrorBio!) {
  // Your code
 }

Environment Configuration

You can configure the environment to be used during SDK execution by using the EnvironmentEnum enumeration, which contains the following options:

• EnvironmentEnum.PROD: for the Production environment

• EnvironmentEnum.UAT: for the Testing (UAT) environment

See the implementation example below:

[unicoCheck setEnvironment:PROD];

unicoCheck.setEnvironment(.PROD);

Prepare and Open Camera

To proceed with opening the camera, you must first prepare it using the prepareSelfieCamera method. This method takes two parameters: the implementation of the SelfieCameraDelegate class and the JSON with the credentials generated in the previous step.

.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AcessoBio/AcessoBio.h>
#import "SelfieCameraDelegate.h"

@interface ViewController: UIViewController <AcessoBioManagerDelegate,
SelfieCameraDelegate, AcessoBioSelfieDelegate> {
    AcessoBioManager *unicoCheck;
}

.m:
- (IBAction)openCamera:(UIButton *)sender {
    [[unicoCheck build] prepareSelfieCamera:self config:[YourUnicoConfigClass new]];
}

import UIKit
import AcessoBio

class ViewController: UIViewController, AcessoBioManagerDelegate,
  SelfieCameraDelegate, AcessoBioSelfieDelegate {
    @IBAction func openCamera(_ sender: Any) {
        unicoCheck.build().prepareSelfieCamera(self, config: YourUnicoConfigClass())
    }
}

When the camera is prepared, the onCameraReady event is triggered, receiving an object of type AcessoBioCameraOpenerDelegate as a parameter. You should override this method to open the camera using the object received through the open() method:

- (void)onCameraReady:(id)cameraOpener {
    [cameraOpener open:self];
}

- (void)onCameraFailed:(ErrorPrepare *)message {
    // Your code
}

func onCameraReady(_ cameraOpener: AcessoBioCameraOpenerDelegate!) {
    cameraOpener.open(self)
 }
 
func onCameraFailed(_ message: ErrorPrepare!) {
    // Your code
 }

If an error occurs while preparing the camera, the onCameraFailed event is triggered. You should implement this method according to your app's business logic.

Making a POST Request to the Client API

After capturing images, the next step is to send the generated encrypted image from the SDK to the Client APIs.
