Welcome to the Identomat iOS SDK documentation! Here, you'll find everything you need to integrate our ID verification and KYC/AML solutions into your iOS application seamlessly.
The Identomat library provides a user identification flow consisting of various steps that combine document type and user image/video for verification.
Following steps are necessary to start a session with identomat API
1
Get a session token
2
Configure flags
3
Get the instance of Identomat SDK
4
Pass Session Token and handle callback
5
Start Identomat SDK
6
Pass additional variables
1. Get a session token
Every identification process has its session token. To start the SDK, we first need to generate a token. To generate the session, we require a Company Key. The Company Key is a string key provided by Identomat.
It’s important to note that the session token must be generated on the server side and sent to the client. Do not include the Company Key in your app.
For demonstration purposes, the session token is being generated in the example app.
Session Token Request:
URL: <domain>/external-api/begin
URL Parameters:
company_key
flags
The flags parameter is a JSON object that needs to be converted to a string and URL-encoded to be URL-safe.
The response from the API call above will be a session token. This session token needs to be passed to the instance of the Identomat object to begin the identification process.
2. Configure flags
The passed flags define the SDK's functionality. Below is an explanation of each flag:
Flag name
Description
Default
Type
"language"
Defines the language of the SDK.
Possible values:
"en", "ka", "ru", "es", "uk", "uz"
"en"
<string>
"liveness"
Defines the method of liveness verification.
If true, users will be required to perform active liveness checks. If false, users will undergo passive liveness checks.
Possible values:
true, false
false
<boolean>
"allow_document_upload"
If true, users can choose between scanning or uploading their documents.
Possible values:
true, false
false
<boolean>
"skip_document"
Skips the ID verification step.
Possible values:
true, false
false
<boolean>
"skip_face"
Skips the liveness check.
Possible values:
true, false
false
<boolean>
"skip_agreement"
Skips the agreement page.
Possible values:
true, false
false
<boolean>
"require_face_document"
If true, users are allowed to capture themselves holding a document in their hand.
The last step is to pass the callback function, which will be triggered after the user finishes interacting with the library. To do this, use the .callback function, which takes a function as an argument:
IdentomatManager.getInstance().callBack(callback: anyfunc)
//anyfunc is (()->Void)? type
//or
IdentomatManager.getInstance().callBack {
print("finished")
}
IdentomatManager.getInstance().backButtonCallBack(callback: anyfunc)
/anyfunc is (()->Void)? type
//or
IdentomatManager.getInstance().backButtonCallBack {
print("finished with back button")
}
5. Start Identomat SDK
First, you should obtain the library's starter view, and then present it to the user.
let identomatView = IdentomatManager.getInstance().getIdentomatView()
identomatView.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
self.present(identomatView, animated: true, completion: nil) //self is UIViewController type class
6. Pass additional variables
To customize Identomat library for the app, we have some additional functions:
setColors(colors: [String : String]) - sets specific colors 2.1 setStringsTableName(tableNme : String) - sets string by the languages file 2.2 setStrings(dict : [String : Any?]) - sets specific text strings
setVariables(variables : [String : Any?]) - sets many customizable varaible
setLogo(view: UIView) - sets loading indicator
Following functions in 5 are DEPRECATED after 0.0.73 version
5.1 setTitleFont(fontname: String, size : Int) - sets header font in library
5.2 setHead1Font(fontname: String, size : Int ) - sets header font in library
5.3 setHead2Font(fontname: String, size : Int ) - sets sub header font in library
5.4 setBodyFont(fontname: String, size : Int ) - sets body text font in library
6.0 hideStatusBar(_ bool : Bool), setStatusBarStyle(style : UIStatusBarStyle) - customize status bar
1. Customizing Colors
Use the setColors function to adjust the colors in the library to match the app's theme. Pass a dictionary containing the relevant color keys and their corresponding hex values:
In the second approach, you use the setStringsTableName(tableName: String) function, where you create a .strings file in your project and localize it for different languages, just like you would do for your app.
Here's how you can use this method:
Create a .strings file, for example, languages.strings.
Localize the file for different languages as you normally would in your project.
Pass the name of the .strings file (without the extension) to the library, like this:
setStringsTableName(tableNme : "languages")
3. Customizing Variables
For every other customization, we use the setVariables(variables: Map<String, Any?>) function, where we pass a key-value pair map of variables.
The map structure looks like this:
static var variables : [String : Any?] = [
"back_button_icon": UIImage(named: "image_name"), -- sets back button icon. type -> UIImage
"liveness_neutral_icon" : UIImage(named: "liveness_neutral_icon"), -- sets liveness neutral face icon. type -> UIImage

"skip_liveness_instructions" : false, -- skips liveness instructions type -> boolean
"liveness_type" : 1, -- chooses liveness icons display type values 1 or 2 type -> int
"button_corner_radius" : nil, -- sets button corner radious, if it's nil button will be round cornered
"panel_elevation" : 1, -- sets panels elevation, type -> int
"title_font" : "font-name", --sets title font type -> String?
"head1_font" : "font-name", --sets head1 font type -> String?
"head2_font" : "font-name", --sets head2 font type -> String?
"body_font" : "font-name", --sets body font type -> String?
"title_font_size" : 20, --sets same font sizes type -> Int
"head1_font_size" : 20,
"head2_font_size" : 16,
"body_font_size" : 11,
"default_country_code": "GE" -- sets default country for country code picker
]
4. Setting a custom logo
setLogo(view: UIView) This function is used for setting a custom logo in the library. You can pass your own custom view, and display anything on that view (animations, images, etc.). This logo will be displayed when the library is processing something.
