Integration Options
This page sets out step-by-step instructions for setting up the iOS SDK.
Prerequisites
- You need your
tenantIdprovided by Rabo Identity Services. - Provide Rabo Identity Services with the GitHub usernames and email addresses of your staff who need access to our repositories.
Operating system specifications:
- Minimum iOS version: 13
- MRZ detection in the document scanner requires minimum iOS 13.
Configuration
Age requirement
You can dynamically configure the minimum client age requirement and the related checks during Identity Verification workflows.
Document data
Discuss with Rabo Identity Services what data to extract from ID document photos via optical character recognition (OCR):
| Data type | Description |
|---|---|
| MRZ data | Document data is extracted from the MRZ only and is processed offline by the SDK. |
| MRZ and VIZ data | For greater accuracy, document data is extracted from the MRZ and VIZ and processed by our AI agent in real time. |
Identity data
If you want to receive a copy of the identity data gathered by the SDK when it's uploaded to our backend (before case processing), let Rabo Identity Services know.
Real-time feedback
Agree Rabo Identity Services whether you want to enable real-time feedback. The SDKs send the document photos to our backend as soon as they are captured, where we assess the image quality and provide the client feedback in the UI in real time. This ensures higher-quality photos are ultimately uploaded, reduces sendbacks>, and improves user experience.
Selfie video depth camera data
While recording the selfie video, Fourthline also collects depth camera data to help confirm liveness. This functionality uses Apple TrueDepth technology on every model later than iPhone X 2017, including iPhone 11 and higher, but excluding iPhones SE 2020 and SE 5G 2022.
Identity Verification
Setup
You can add the SDK to your project using Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, or Carthage.
| SDK version | Carthage Xcode Compatible .xcframework | Cocoa Xcode Compatible .xcframework | Minimum iOS version |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.2.25–latest (recommended) | 16.1 and above | 16.1 and above | iOS 13 |
| 3.0.0–3.24 | 15.3 and above | 15.3 and above | iOS 13 |
| 2.28.0–2.39.8 | 15.3 and above | 15.3 and above | iOS 12 |
| 2.23.0–2.27.0 | 14.3 | 14.3 | iOS 12 |
| 2.15.1–2.22.0 | 14.1–14.2 | 14.1–14.2 | iOS 12 |
| 2.11.3–2.15.0 | 13.3.1–13.4 | 13.3.1–13.4 | iOS 12 |
| 2.8.0–2.11.2 | 13.0–13.1 | 13.0–13.1 | iOS 12 |
| 2.6.0–2.7.0 | 12.5 | 11.0–12.5 | iOS 12 |
1. To ensure clients grant camera and location permissions, in the Info.plist file, add Privacy - Camera Usage Description and Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description entries.
2. If configuring Document NFC, add Near Field Communication Tag Reading capability to your app, containing the following values:
Tag-Specific Data Protocol (TAG)Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE)
The file is added to your project automatically.
Example entitlements file source code:
<dict>
<key>com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats</key>
<array>
<string>TAG</string>
<string>PACE</string>
</array>
</dict>Then, to ensure clients grant NFC permissions, in the Info.plist file, add Privacy - NFC Scan Usage Description and Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description entries.
3. In the Info.plist file, add an ISO7816 application identifiers for NFC Tag Reader Session entry containing the following 2 keys:
A0000002471001: Application ID for e-passportA00000045645444C2D3031: Application ID for Dutch driving license
//1. Install Carthage on your machine. See GitHub – [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) <img src="https://files.readme.io/f7f4159-Open_new_tab.svg" align="left"/>.
//2. Ensure the Carthage version is at least **0.38**. If installed via HomeBrew, you can check this with the following command: `brew list --versions carthage`

Testing
To view a mock version, launch the various modules using the following mock validation codes:
| Product | Mock validation code |
|---|---|
| Identity Verification | IDV |
| Qualified Electronic Signature module | QES |
| Bank Account Verification module | BAV |
| Combinations | IDVandBAVIDVandQESIDVandBAVandQESIDVandQESandBAV |
Example code:
import FourthlineSDK
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let customization = WorkflowConfig(
networkEnvironment: .mock
)
Orca.workflow(validationCode: "A1B2C3D4")
.configure(with: customization)
.present(completionBlock: { _ in
})
}Analytics
The FourthlineCore module collects and processes iOS SDK metrics.
You can set up an analytics observer for the SDK to forward Fourthline events to.
Events are only forwarded when you initialize FourthlineAnalytics by calling FourthlineAnalytics.initialize(...) with TrackingConsent set to granted.
- To set up the observer, call
FourthlineAnalytics.setObserver(...). - To remove the observer, call
FourthlineAnalytics.removeObserver().
import FourthlineCore
let observer = AnalyticsManager()
FourthlineAnalytics.setObserver(observer)
class AnalyticsManager: AnalyticsObserver {
func log(event: String, attributes: [String: Codable]?) {
// Log the Fourthline event
}
}Data delegate
To receive notifications for each data group that the SDK uploads to Fourthline and a copy of the data itself, add a data delegate:
import FourthlineSDK
class MyClass {
func launchOrca() {
let configuration = WorkflowConfig(networkEnvironment: .mock)
let validationCode = "xxxxxxxx"
Orca.workflow(validationCode: validationCode)
.configure(with: configuration)
.addDelegate(self)
.present { [weak self] result in
switch result {
case let .failure(error):
self?.handleError(error)
case .success:
// Client has successfully finished the workflow.
break
}
}
}
}
// MARK: - WorkflowDataDelegate
extension MyClass: WorkflowDataDelegate {
func didUploadData(_ data: FourthlineSDK.WorkflowResults) {
switch data {
case let .idv(value: idvPart):
switch idvPart {
case let .document(document):
print("Did upload Document")
case let .documentVideo(video):
print("Did upload Document Video")
case let .selfie(selfie):
print("Did upload Selfie")
case let .selfieVideo(video):
print("Did upload Selfie Video")
case let .nfc(nfc):
print("Did upload Nfc")
case let .address(address):
print("Did upload Address")
case let .person(person):
print("Did upload Person")
case let .deviceMetadata(deviceMetadata):
print("Did upload Device Metadata")
}
default:
print("Handle Workflow data...")
}
}
}Temporary files
The SDKs store some data collected during workflows (e.g. selfie and document videos) in the tmp/fourthline folder in the client's device filesystem. This is because the videos must remain available until collected, packaged into a zipfile, and uploaded to our backend.
You must delete the temporary files when they are no longer needed, e.g. after the SDK has uploaded all data to Fourthline or immediately before the app is terminated in applicationWillTerminate.
