Azure AI Vision SDK 1.4.1 Release
Introduces public wrapper SDKs in npm, Maven, and GitHub for easier updates, plus a new API for streamlined gated asset access in CI/CD.
In this release, we are introducing a significant improvement to how the Azure AI Vision Liveness SDK is distributed and integrated into your applications.
Starting with version 1.4.1, we are publishing a new public wrapper SDK for each supported platform. These wrapper SDKs are now hosted in widely used public package repositories—npm for JavaScript/Web, Maven Central for Android, and a GitHub repository for the iOS xcframework. By making the SDK available in these public locations, developers can take advantage of automated dependency monitoring tools to stay up to date with the latest releases. For example, you can enable GitHub Dependabot if your project is hosted on GitHub, or use Renovate to monitor updates across platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos.
While the SDK is now easier to obtain and keep updated, the gated assets required to compile it remain in place as part of the security model. However, we have made the access process much simpler. Previously, obtaining an access token required running a local script. In this version, you can instead retrieve the access token directly by calling the new Get Client Assets Access Token API. This API uses your Azure Face resource’s endpoint and API key, making it straightforward to integrate into automated CI/CD build pipelines without manual intervention.
Below are the updated reference links for each platform-specific SDK:
