Requirements

What You Need to Run It on Flutter

These are the exact minimum and recommended requirements published in the ID-Document-Recognition-Flutter repository — check the repo directly for the latest version, since SDK requirements can change between releases.

Flutter / DartFlutter ≥3.44.0, Dart ≥3.3, JDK 17
AndroidminSdk 24, compileSdk 36 (Android 10+ recommended)
iOSmacOS host, Xcode 15+, CocoaPods, deployment target 15.0
Test deviceA physical phone recommended – the emulator has limited support
Quick Start

Install and Activate

Install the SDK, then activate it with a license key before calling any recognition function – every platform follows this same activate-then-initialize pattern.

  • Add document_reader_sdk to pubspec.yaml as a git dependency pointing at the repo, then flutter pub get.
  • Run cd ios && pod install, then copy the Android AAR to android/libs/documentreadersdk.aar and the iOS framework to ios/Frameworks/docsdk.framework.
  • Call setActivation and init from Dart before recognizing a document.
dart
final act = await setActivation('YOUR_LICENSE_KEY');
final code = await init();
final locateJson = await locateDocument(imagePath);
final resultJson = await recognize(frontPath, backPath, true);
Licensing

How Licensing Works

Licenses are offline and bound to your app's application ID (Android) or bundle ID (iOS). Demo keys are valid until 12 Aug 2027 – contact FacePlugin for a key scoped to your own app.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Flutter SDK send document data to the cloud?

No. Every stage of document recognition runs on your own server or directly on the device, depending on the platform – scanned documents never leave an environment you control.

How is the SDK licensed?

Licenses are offline and bound to a machine code, application ID, or bundle ID depending on the platform. Contact FacePlugin with that identifier to receive a license key – there are no per-call or per-scan fees once licensed.

Where can I see the full source and open an issue?

The Flutter integration is maintained publicly on GitHub at github.com/Faceplugin-ltd, where you can browse the code, file issues, and track releases.
