Create React Native project and add the Jumio Mobile SDK module to it.

react-native init MyProject
cd MyProject
npm install --save https://github.com/Jumio/mobile-react.git#v4.11.0
cd ios && pod install

Integration

iOS

  1. Add the "NSCameraUsageDescription"-key to your Info.plist file.
  2. Your app's deployment target must be at least iOS 12.0

NFC

Check out the NFC setup guide.

Digital Identity

Check out the Digital Identity setup guide.

Device Risk

To include Jumio's Device Risk functionality, you need to add pod Jumio/DeviceRisk to your Podfile.

Android

AndroidManifest
Open your AndroidManifest.xml file and change allowBackup to false.

<application
...
android:allowBackup="false">
</application>

Make sure your compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion are high enough.

android {
  compileSdkVersion 33
  buildToolsVersion "33.0.0"
  ...
}

Enable MultiDex
Follow the Android developers guide: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html

android {
  ...
  defaultConfig {
    ...
    multiDexEnabled true
  }
}

Upgrade Gradle build tools
The plugin requires at least version 4.0.0 of the Android build tools. This transitively requires and upgrade of the Gradle wrapper to version 7 and an update to Java 11.

Upgrade build tools version to 7.2.0 in android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
  ...
  dependencies {
    ...
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0'
  }
}

Modify the Gradle Wrapper version in android/gradle.properties.

Repository
Add the Jumio Mobile SDK repository:

exclusiveContent {
  forRepository {
    maven {
      url 'https://repo.mobile.jumio.ai'
    }
  }
  filter {
    includeGroup "com.jumio.android"
    includeGroup "com.iproov.sdk"
  }
}

Proguard

For information on Android Proguard Rules concerning the Jumio SDK, please refer to our Android guides.

Usage

  1. Add "NativeModules" to the import of 'react-native'.
import {
  ...
  NativeModules
} from 'react-native';
  1. Create a variable of your iOS module:
const { JumioMobileSDK } = NativeModules;
  1. The SDKs can be initialized with the following calls.
JumioMobileSDK.initialize(<AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN>, <DATACENTER>);

Datacenter can either be US, EU or SG. For more information about how to obtain an AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN, please refer to our API Guide.

As soon as the SDK is initialized, the SDK is started by the following call.

  JumioMobileSDK.start();

Optionally, it is possible to check whether a device is rooted / jailbroken with the following method:

  const isRooted = await JumioMobileSDK.isRooted();

Retrieving information

You can listen to events to retrieve the scanned data:

  • EventResult for Jumio results.
  • EventError for Jumio error.

First add NativeEventEmitter to the import from 'react-native' and listen to the events.

import {
...
NativeEventEmitter
} from 'react-native';

The event receives a JSON object with all the data. The example below shows how to retrieve the information of each emitter as a String:

const emitterJumio = new NativeEventEmitter(JumioMobileSDK);
emitterJumio.addListener(
    'EventResult',
    (EventResult) => console.warn("EventResult: " + JSON.stringify(EventResult))
);
emitterJumio.addListener(
    'EventError',
    (EventError) => console.warn("EventError: " + JSON.stringify(EventError))
);

Customization

Android

JumioSDK Android appearance can be customized by overriding the custom theme AppThemeCustomJumio. A customization example of all values can be found in the styles.xml of the DemoApp.

iOS

JumioSDK iOS appearance can be customized to your respective needs. You can customize each color based on the device's set appearance, for either Dark mode or Light mode, or you can set a single color for both appearances. Customization is optional and not required.

Local Models for JumioDocfinder

If you are using our JumioDocFinder module, you can download our encrypted models and add them to your bundle from here and here.

We recommend to download the files and add them to your project without changing their names (the same way you add Localization files). This will save two network requests on runtime to download these files.

iOS

You also need to copy those files to the "ios/Assets" folder for React to recognize them.

Android

You need to copy those files to the assets folder of your Android project (Path: "app/src/main/assets/")

FAQ

Face help animation breaks on Android

If face help animation looks as expected in debug builds, but breaks in release builds, please make sure to include the following rule in your Proguard file:

-keep class androidx.constraintlayout.motion.widget.** { *; }

iOS Simulator shows a white-screen, when the Jumio SDK is started

The Jumio SDK does not support the iOS Simulator. Please run the Jumio SDK only on physical devices.

iOS Runs on Debug, Crashes on Release Build

This happens due to Xcode 13 introducing a new option to their App Store Distribution Options:

"Manage Version and Build Number" (see image below)

If checked, this option changes the version and build number of all content of your app to the overall application version, including third-party frameworks. This option is enabled by default. Please make sure to disable this option when archiving / exporting your application to the App Store. Otherwise, the Jumio SDK version check, which ensures all bundled frameworks are up to date, will fail.

Xcode13 Issue

Alternatively, it is also possible to set the key manageAppVersionAndBuildNumber in the exportOptions.plist to false:

<key>manageAppVersionAndBuildNumber</key>
<false/>

Using iOS Dynamic Frameworks with React Native Sample App

Jumio SDK version 3.8.0 and newer use iProov dependencies that need need to be built as dynamic frameworks. Since React Native supports only static libraries, a pre-install hook has been added to ensure that pods added as dynamic_frameworks are actually built as dynamic frameworks, while all other pods are built as static libraries.

dynamic_frameworks = ['iProov', 'DatadogCore', 'DatadogInternal', 'DatadogRUM']

pre_install do |installer|
  installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
    if !dynamic_frameworks.include?(pod.name)
      puts "Overriding the static_framework? method for #{pod.name}"
      def pod.static_framework?;
        true
      end
      def pod.build_type;
        Pod::BuildType.static_library
      end
    end
  end
end

Additionally, a post install hook needs to be added to the Podfile to ensure dependencies are build for distribution:

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if ['iProov', 'DatadogRUM', 'DatadogCore', 'DatadogInternal'].include? target.name
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES'
        end
      end
    end
end

iOS Crashes on Start with Xcode 15

If you are working with Xcode 15 and above, please make sure the following lines have been added to your Podfile:

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if ['iProov', 'DatadogRUM', 'DatadogCore', 'DatadogInternal'].include? target.name
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'
        end
      end
    end
end

Please refer to the iOS section of our DemoApp guide for additional details.

iOS Build Fails for React 0.71.2

use_frameworks! needs to be included in the Podfile and properly executed in order for Jumio dynamic frameworks to install correctly. Make sure the necessary pre_install and post_install hooks have been included. Also make sure that Flipper is disabled for your project, since Flipper is not compatible with iOS dynamic frameworks at the moment.

Please also refer to the Podfile of our sample application for further details.

iOS Localization

After installing Cocoapods, please localize your iOS application using the languages provided at the following path:
ios -> Pods -> Jumio -> Localization -> xx.lproj

Localization

Make sure your Podfile is up to date and that new pod versions are installed properly so your Localizable files include new strings. For more information, please refer to our Changelog and Transition Guide.
