Android SDK release notes. Track versions, breaking changes, dependency updates, provider changes, fixes, and migration notes for Face Liveness and Document Detector.

Release notes

7.17.0

Release date

  • 08/03/2026

Fixes

Face Liveness: Fixes an UninitializedPropertyAccessException crash in the Face Liveness module when the context (lateinit) has not been initialized yet

Document Detector: Fixes the Document Detector case where the app returns after process death (e.g. gallery/Drive or background) and remounts the flow without in-memory context, leaving an orphan UI (dead Continue button).

7.15.0

Release date

  • 07/20/2026

Updates

  • Fingerprint SDK Upgrade: The underlying FingerprintJS Pro SDK has been updated from version 2.7.0 to 2.15.0.

7.14.0

Release date

  • 05/25/2026

Fixes

Face Liveness: a liveness issue that caused an infinite loading screen when an initialization error occurred.

Smart Auth: CalledFromWrongThreadException

7.13.0

Release date

  • 05/08/2026

Updates

  • Updated liveness provider: PayFace to version 1.19.2.

Fixes

Face Liveness: Resolved an issue where the PayFace liveness provider failed on the first attempt, working only on the second try.

7.12.0

Release date

  • 04/27/2026

Updates

  • Caf Security Module: Internal performance optimizations and enhanced stability for security telemetry and data integrity checks.

Fixes

Face Liveness: Resolved an issue where the Success Screen failed to render after a valid liveness attempt.

CafSDK v7.11.0

Release date

  • 04/13/2026

Fixes

  • Instructions Screen: Fixed a bug where custom remote images (via URL) on the instruction screen of both Document Detector and Face Liveness were being painted with the primaryColor, even though no color filter should be applied.

CafSDK v7.10.0

Release date

  • 03/30/2026

Updates

  • Liveness Hub: caffaceliveness is the shared base and caffaceliveness-providers-* artifacts supply CAF’s pre-built vendor integrations—you must declare at least one provider dependency. caffaceliveness-ui is optional and adds Caf’s Face Liveness UI plus customization hooks (replacing the old caffaceliveness-ui-lite / caffaceliveness-ui-core split).

  • Explicit providers: Add the artifacts that match your product configuration, for example:

    • caffaceliveness-providers-iproov-lite — iProov with Protobuf JavaLite

    • caffaceliveness-providers-iproov-full — iProov with Protobuf Java

    • caffaceliveness-providers-payface — PayFace (Fortface)

    • caffaceliveness-providers-facetec — FaceTec 2D

  • Migration: Follow the dependency mapping table under Migrating from legacy Face Liveness artifacts when upgrading from 7.9.0 or earlier.

Migrating from legacy Face Liveness artifacts (up to v7.9.0)

If you previously used caffaceliveness-lite, caffaceliveness-core, or the matching -ui-lite / -ui-core artifacts, update as follows:

Previous (up to v7.9.0)
From v7.10.0
Notes

implementation(platform("io.caf.sdk:caf-sdk-bom:7.9.0"))

implementation(platform("io.caf.sdk:caf-sdk-bom:7.10.0"))

Bump the BoM so versions align with the new modules.

caffaceliveness-lite or caffaceliveness-core

caffaceliveness

Single base module replaces both lite and core; the old split at this layer is removed.

(providers were implicit inside the old artifact)

caffaceliveness-providers-<provider>

Required: declare at least one provider artifact for the liveness vendors you use (for example iproov-lite, iproov-full, payface, facetec).

caffaceliveness-ui-lite or caffaceliveness-ui-core

caffaceliveness-ui

Optional UI module: Caf’s screens + customization; pair with the same provider setup your runtime needs.
