iOS setup - IDmeta Documentation

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

Requirements

iOS 16.0 or later
Flutter 3.44.1 or later
platform :ios, '16.0' in the Podfile
Pod deployment target 16.0

Info.plist

Add usage descriptions in ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs camera access to scan identity documents and perform biometric verification.</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs photo library access to upload identity documents.</string>
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs location access to verify your location.</string>

Podfile

Set the platform to iOS 16, keep use_frameworks! in the Runner target, and force iOS 16 plus camera permission support in post_install:

platform :ios, '16.0'

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '16.0'
      config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
        '$(inherited)',
        'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',
      ]
    end
  end
end

Troubleshooting

Flutter below 3.44.1 — flutter pub get fails with a version solving error. Upgrade Flutter.
Deployment target below 16 — CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager mismatch.
Missing usage strings — crash on the first camera or location prompt.
