Installation

Integrate Facephi's Mobile SDK into your Android application to perform biometric verification processes quickly and securely.

What the SDK includes

The SDK Mobile is made up of a set of modular libraries (components) that allow you to build a biometric solution tailored to each use case.

Minimum requirements

Before you begin, make sure your project meets these requirements:

• Android minSdk: 24

• Android API: 35

• Kotlin: 2.2.21

• Android Gradle Plugin: 8.13.1

---

1. Set up the private repository

For security and maintenance reasons, the SDK Mobile components are distributed through a private repository.

To access it, you need credentials, which you must request from the Facephi Technical Support team.

Once you have them, add the repository in the file settings.gradle:

mavenCentral()
maven {
    Properties props = new Properties()
    def propsFile = new File('local.properties')
    if(propsFile.exists()){
        props.load(new FileInputStream(propsFile))
    }
    name="external"
    url = uri("https://facephicorp.jfrog.io/artifactory/maven-pro-fphi")
    credentials {
        username = props["artifactory.user"] ?: System.getenv("USERNAME_ARTIFACTORY")
        password = props["artifactory.token"] ?: System.getenv("TOKEN_ARTIFACTORY")
    }
}

2. Add the credentials

Include the credentials in the file local.properties

artifactory.user=YOUR_CREDENTIALS_USERNAME
artifactory.token=YOUR_CREDENTIALS_TOKEN

3. Declare the base dependency

The required dependency to use the SDK is the following:

implementation "com.facephi.androidsdk:sdk:$version"

From here, add the dependencies for the components that you are going to use according to your use case.
