post_install do |installer|
  installer.aggregate_targets.each do |target|
      target.xcconfigs.each do |variant, xcconfig|
      xcconfig_path = target.client_root + target.xcconfig_relative_path(variant)
      IO.write(xcconfig_path, IO.read(xcconfig_path).gsub("DT_TOOLCHAIN_DIR", "TOOLCHAIN_DIR"))
      end
  end

  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      if config.base_configuration_reference.is_a? Xcodeproj::Project::Object::PBXFileReference
          xcconfig_path = config.base_configuration_reference.real_path
          IO.write(xcconfig_path, IO.read(xcconfig_path).gsub("DT_TOOLCHAIN_DIR", "TOOLCHAIN_DIR"))
      end

      if ['Socket.IO-Client-Swift', 'Starscream'].include? target.name
          config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES'
          config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'
      end
    end
  end
end

Basic Usage

Note

Make sure you have obtained authorization credentials before proceeding. You can get client id or secret key and generate access token like this.

Authorization

The following code snippet shows how to use the client_id and secret_key or access token in auth object.

Basic Auth

Make auth object using client id and secret key

var authObject = 
{
  auth_type:"basic_auth", 
  client_id: "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx",
  secret_key: "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
}

Or

Access Token

Make auth object using access token

var authObject = 
{
 auth_type:"access_token",
 access_token: "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
}

Configuration

The Shufti Pro’s mobile SDKs can be configured on the basis of parameters provided in the config object. The details of parameters can be found here.

var configObject = 
{
  base_url:  "api.shuftipro.com",
  consent_age:  16,
};   

Request Object

This object contains the service objects and their settings through which the merchant wants to verify end users. Complete details of service objects and their parameters can be found here.

var verificationObject = 
{  
  reference: "uniqueReference",
  country: "",
  language: "EN",  
  email: "[email protected]",  
  callback_url: "http://www.example.com",  
  redirect_url: "http://www.example.com",
  show_consent: 1,
  show_results: 1, 
  verification_mode:"image_only",
  show_privacy_policy: 1,
  face: {proof: ""},
  document: {  
    supported_types:["passport", "id_card", "driving_license", "credit_or_debit_card"],
    name: {  
      first_name: "",  
      last_name: "",  
      middle_name: ""  
      },  
    dob: "",

    expiry_date: "",  
    issue_date: "",  
    fetch_enhanced_data: "",
    gender: "",
    backside_proof_required: "0",    
    },  
 };

Initialisation

Shufti Pro's mobile SDK can be initialized using the given method and passing auth, config and request objects as the parameters.

 cordova.exec(
    function(result) {
      console.log('ShuftiPro request success:', JSON.stringify(result));
    },
    function(error) {
      console.error('ShuftiPro request error:', result);
    },
    'shuftiproMobileSDK', 
    'createRequest',   
    [verificationObject, authObject, configObject]
);

Callbacks

The SDK receives callback events as result, whether the verification journey is completed or left mid-way. The call back is received in following function

function(result) {
      console.log('Shuftipro request success:', result.event);

      if (result.event === "verification.accepted") {
      // Verification accepted callback
      }
      else if (result.event === "verification.declined") {
            // Verification declined callback
      }
      else {
        // Something else
      }
    },

The complete list of callback events can be found here.

Customisation

ShuftiPro supports a set of customisation options that will influence the appearance of the mobile SDK.

Verification flow and UI

The complete verification journey is customisable. To remove the screen from verification flow, you need to provide that parameter to the SDK through request/config object. For instance;

Request Object

"country" : "GB"

"verification_mode" : "image_only"

"allow_online" : "1" 

"allow_offline" : "1" 

"decline_on_single_step" : "1"

"show_ocr_form" : "0" 

"allow_retry" : "0"

You can find the complete detail here

Config Object

"show_requirement_page": true

"base_url": "api.shuftipro.com"

"consent_age": 16

You can find the complete detail here

Localization

Shufti Pro offers users the capability to customize the SDK text according to their preferred language. Merchants can modify the SDK language by specifying the language code in the country parameter within the main request object, such as "language": "en"
