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
Breaking change —Fingerprint dependency The common-fingerprint module is no longer a mandatory transitive dependency for Face Liveness. To use fingerprint features alongside Face Liveness, you must explicitly add the implementation("io.caf.sdk:fingerprint") artifact to your dependencies. If omitted, Face Liveness will proceed normally without fingerprinting
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
Breaking change — Face Liveness dependencies: caffaceliveness-lite, caffaceliveness-core, caffaceliveness-ui-lite, and caffaceliveness-ui-core are replaced by caffaceliveness (shared base), optional caffaceliveness-ui (Caf UI + customization hooks), and caffaceliveness-providers-*. You must add the BoM 7.10.0+ and at least one caffaceliveness-providers-* artifact—caffaceliveness and a provider module are both required for Face Liveness. See Step 2 - Include the CafSDK dependency and Migrating from legacy Face Liveness artifacts.
Updates
Liveness Hub:
caffacelivenessis the shared base andcaffaceliveness-providers-*artifacts supply CAF’s pre-built vendor integrations—you must declare at least one provider dependency.caffaceliveness-uiis optional and adds Caf’s Face Liveness UI plus customization hooks (replacing the oldcaffaceliveness-ui-lite/caffaceliveness-ui-coresplit).Explicit providers: Add the artifacts that match your product configuration, for example:
caffaceliveness-providers-iproov-lite— iProov with Protobuf JavaLitecaffaceliveness-providers-iproov-full— iProov with Protobuf Javacaffaceliveness-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:
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.

Layout: Improved readability with increased line spacing and updated margins for more consistent layout and visual balance.
UI Improvements: Prevented text overflow in the document detector by enabling truncation for long titles and step names and adjusting spacing.
Light sensor deactivation: The light sensor has been disabled during the capture flow. Previously, the SDK used the device's light sensor to display the "Environment too dark" message, blocking capture until the sensor detected good lighting.
Messages deactivation during manual capture: Messages during manual capture have been disabled to avoid friction during the capture flow.
