Migration to version 1.1.0

Package changed to com.gbg.smartcapture

Section titled “Package changed to com.gbg.smartcapture”

Version 1.1.0 contains a change to how the SDK is distributed. The package of the SDK has changed from com.gbgplc.idscan to com.gbg.smartcapture. This means that any import statements in the code and the installation via gradle will need to be updated.

  1. To update the gradle import, replace the following:

    implementation 'com.gbgplc.idscan:commons:X.Y.Z'
    implementation 'com.gbgplc.idscan:facecamera:X.Y.Z'

    with:

    implementation 'com.gbg.smartcapture:commons:X.Y.Z'
    implementation 'com.gbg.smartcapture:facecamera:X.Y.Z'

  2. Re-sync the gradle and attempt to build the project.

  3. All of the now out of date import statements will get flagged as build errors. On each of those lines replace gbgplc.idscan in the import statement with gbg.smartcapture. In most implementations there will only be only a couple import statements like this.
