Selfie - deepidv

The selfie screen guides the user to a centered, well-framed face and takes the photo automatically. In a workflow it follows the document capture, and deepidv matches it against the face on the ID. On its own, SelfieCaptureView returns the photo to your app.

Screens and states

Front-camera screen: an oval guide with 'Position your face in the oval, the photo will be taken automatically'.

Front-camera screen: green oval with 'Hold still… taking the photo', and a manual shutter with 'Having trouble? Take the photo yourself'.

Front-camera screen: the photo frozen in the oval with a green tick, 'Got it! Your selfie was taken'.

State	Message	Oval
No face yet	Position your face in the oval · The photo will be taken automatically	White, pulsing
Too far	Move a little closer · Your face should fill the oval	Blue
Off center	Center your face in the oval · Look straight at the screen	Blue
Several faces	Only your face, please · Make sure no one else is in view	Amber
Ready	Hold still… · Taking the photo	Green
Taken	Got it! · Your selfie was taken, with the photo frozen in the oval	Green, with a tick

If the photo hasn’t been taken after a few seconds, Having trouble? Take the photo yourself and a shutter button appear. The ✕ closes the camera with .cancelled. The selfie always uses the front camera.

On its own: `SelfieCaptureView`

SelfieCaptureView doesn’t call deepidv. It returns the photo as a FileInput, for example to pass to verifyIdentity.

SelfieCaptureView { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let selfie):
        Task {
            let verification = try await client.verifyIdentity(
                documentFront: documentFront, selfie: selfie, type: .driversLicense)
            print("verified:", verification.verified)
        }
    case .failure(let error):
        if error.kind == .cancelled { return }
        print("selfie failed:", error.kind)
    }
}

Parameter	Type	Description
`onResult`	`(Result<FileInput, DeepIDVError>) -> Void`	Called once with the JPEG, or an error: `.cancelled`, `.cameraPermissionDenied`, `.captureFailed`.
