Android setup - IDmeta Documentation

Complete this setup after you add idmeta_flutter. Then launch the flow with startVerification on Mobile SDK.

Requirements

Android 7.0 (API 24) or later
compileSdk 37, or maxOf(flutter.compileSdkVersion, 37)
Java / Kotlin JVM target 17
Flutter 3.44.1 or later
A macOS or Windows build machine (Linux isn’t supported yet)

Gradle

In android/app/build.gradle.kts:

android {
    compileSdk = maxOf(flutter.compileSdkVersion, 37)

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_17.toString()
    }

    defaultConfig {
        minSdk = maxOf(flutter.minSdkVersion, 24)
    }
}

If the file is Groovy build.gradle, use Math.max(...) instead of maxOf.

Permissions

Add these to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml. INTERNET is always required. CAMERA is required for document and biometric capture. Add location and READ_MEDIA_IMAGES only if those steps are in the Trust Flow.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />

Troubleshooting

flutter pub get fails on a Linux machine or Linux CI runner — not supported yet. Build on macOS or Windows.
compileSdk below 37 — the plugin may fail to build.
minSdk below 24 — manifest merge conflict with idmeta_flutter.
Missing INTERNET — network errors during the flow.
