Updates to SpruceID’s Developer Documentation
We've revamped our developer documentation and mobile SDKs to simplify integrating verifiable digital credentials into your apps.
We’re thrilled to announce a refresh of SpruceID’s developer documentation, designed to make it easier than ever to integrate verifiable digital credentials (VDCs) into mobile applications. This update reflects our commitment to simplifying decentralized identity solutions, and includes step-by-step guides, updated SDK references, and code examples to accelerate your development.
What’s New?
Consolidated Mobile SDKs
We’ve streamlined our libraries into dedicated Android and iOS SDKs, making it easier to embed VDC functionalities into your mobile apps. This consolidation simplifies the development process, allowing you to focus on building robust credential-holding and verification features.
Expanded Capabilities
Our updated SDKs now support a wide range of functionalities, including:
- Accepting W3C credentials with OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI)
- Presenting and verifying mobile driver’s licenses (mDL) offline
- Presenting W3C credentials with OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OID4VP)
- Verifying W3C credentials using delegated verifiers (OID4VP)
- Verifying embedded JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)
Simplified Integration
We’ve abstracted the complexities associated with VDC and mDL-related open standards, offering straightforward interfaces for seamless integration into your user experiences. Now, you can build out end-to-end use cases without requiring extensive domain expertise.
Built on Open Standards
Our documentation and SDKs are built on established open standards, including ISO mDL, W3C Verifiable Credentials, and OpenID protocols. This ensures interoperability and future-proofs your applications.
Introducing the SpruceKit Showcase App
To complement our updated documentation, we’ve launched the SpruceKit Showcase App, a reference implementation of a lightweight wallet and verifier.
This open-source app allows you to:
Prototype your end-to-end scenarios: Use the Showcase App as a starting point to build your own applications. Its modular design enables easy customization to fit your app's specific requirements.
Looking to build your own custom wallet?: You can use the underlying libraries to build your own app or integrate with an existing app.
The SpruceKit Showcase App is available for both Android and iOS:
