v2026.2.1

Simprints ID 2026.2.1

• Release Date: Jul 7, 2026 (Beta)

Highlights

Simprints ID 2026.2.1 makes the MFID workflow more flexible, fixes sync issues, and adds missing Amharic translations.

MFID

• QR codes no longer need to be manually confirmed.
• QR code readout values can no longer be edited.
• The MFID skip reason list is now more flexible. The GG2-specific reason Has number, no document (Booklet) can be hidden from skip reasons with "mfidSkipReasonsHideHasNumber": true.
• The skip reason screen can be bypassed entirely with mfidDefaultSkipReason. When set, that value is recorded as the skip reason when MFID is skipped.
• Amharic translations have been updated.
• Session events are now uploaded in FIFO order.

v2026.2.0

Simprints ID 2026.2.0

• Release Date: May 28, 2026 (Beta, Internal testing)

Highlights

Simprints ID 2026.2.0 delivers major enhancements to MFID:

• New support for non-credential field extraction, such as name and date of birth.
• Improved document scanning guidance with lighting assessment hints.
• Updated scanning animations and new reusable image-capture UI components.
• LibSimprints now supports MFID responses.

The release also includes a substantial sync architecture revamp to improve reliability and maintainability, a platform upgrade to Java 21, and numerous stability and usability improvements across the application, including improved logout handling.

Expanded OCR result set

SID 2026.2.0 enables projects to capture non-credential fields such as name and date of birth from Ghana NHIS and Ghana ID cards. This allows patient record fields to be filled automatically within data collector apps.

Low-light and overexposure detection

Card scanning in the MFID workflow now detects glare and images that are too dark, and informs the user about it.

Improved location tracking

Location monitoring has been improved to increase location data availability and better identify why location information may be missing. SID now records when location permissions are denied, first uses the device's last known location before requesting a fresh GPS fix, and includes a useBalancedLocationAccuracy feature flag to test balanced-accuracy location requests for faster results. These changes help reduce location collection timeouts and support the move away from using module IDs for location tracking.

Forced configuration update

Added support for remotely managing device modules by introducing forced module configuration updates from the backend. Devices can now receive updated module selections and automatically apply those changes locally. For now, this can only be done via PHC request.

Low storage capacity alert

SID now checks the device's available storage when users start the dashboard or a biometric workflow. If the available free space falls below a configurable threshold, a warning notification is displayed to help users take action before storage-related issues occur. The threshold is configured through the custom minimumFreeSpaceMb flag in Vulcan, or defaults to 1 GB if no custom value is specified. The app also records when these low-storage warnings are shown.

v2026.1.0

Simprints ID 2026.1.0

• Release Date: May 5, 2026 (Beta)

Highlights

Simprints ID 2026.1.0 focuses on important platform improvements and SDK changes. This release introduces SimFace, our in-house face biometric SDK, making it possible to demo SID without requesting ROC licenses. It also removes the NEC SDK due to technical incompatibilities. In addition, this version includes a major refactor of JSON serialization and deserialization, replacing Jackson with Kotlin Serialization to ensure compatibility with older Android OS versions that SID continues to support.

SimFace integration

SID 2026.1.0 enables projects to be configured to use SimFace for face capture, detection, verification, and identification. SimFace is fully developed in-house and does not require a license, making it easier to showcase SID face workflow demos.

NEC removal

The NEC fingerprint SDK has been removed from SID 2026.1.0 because it is not compliant with the new Google Play requirement to support 16 KB page size. As no active projects are currently using NEC, the SDK was removed so SID can continue submitting new updates to Google Play and meet the latest platform requirements.

JSON serialization and deserialization refactor

SID previously relied on Jackson, which now only supports Android API levels above 26, while SID continues to support a minimum API level of 23. Increasing the minimum supported SDK was not feasible, so Jackson was replaced with Kotlin Serialization. Removing Jackson also unblocked updates to several core dependencies, including Retrofit and Protobuf. These changes are strictly under the hood and do not impact user flows or behaviour.

v2025.4.2

Simprints ID 2025.4.2

• Release Date: Apr 28, 2026

Highlights

Simprints ID 2025.4 focuses on a major new feature: Multi-Factor Identification (MFID). This release enables projects to enhance searches by scanning a non-biometric credential, such as an ID card or QR code, alongside a patient's finger or face.

Register and search with credentials

Users can now register a non-biometric credential alongside their biometrics. The feature launches with support for QR codes and Ghanaian credentials: NHIS and Ghana Cards.

Enhanced search workflows

The combination of biometrics and non-biometric credentials allows users to find and biometrically verify the correct user.

Flexibility built in

The feature is built flexibly so that users without credentials can fall back to a biometric search.

Built for data collectors

The updated data collector API provides data collection platforms, such as DHIS2, with detailed credential data, enabling improved features on their end.

• Release Date: Jul 13, 2026

This is a minor release containing a translation backport and a sync reliability fix. It is recommended that all users upgrade from Simprints ID 2025.2.0 to this version.

Fixes and improvements

• Backported missing translations from main to fill in translation gaps.
• MS-1382: SID now explicitly throws an exception when an event up/down sync request returns a non-2xx response, ensuring sync failures are properly surfaced instead of being silently treated as successful.

Full Changelog: v2025.3.0...v2025.4.0

v2025.3.1

Simprints ID 2025.3.1

• Release Date: Nov 11, 2025

This is a minor release containing bug fixes and small improvements. It is recommended that all users upgrade from Simprints ID 2025.3.0 to this version to ensure maximum stability.

Fixes and improvements

• Added additional checks when confirming a 1:N result to ensure that the confirmed GUID appeared in the original list of results (MS-1214).
• Resolved a bug where records were wiped from a user's device following changes to the Vulcan sync schedule (MS-1225).
• Handled a crash triggered when a user updates the app before a session is closed (MS-1224; com.simprints.core.tools.json.JsonHelper.fromJson).

v2025.3.0

Simprints ID 2025.3.0

• Release Date: Oct 22, 2025

Highlights

CoSync performance improvements

Simprints ID 2024.1 introduced CoSync 1:N functionality, allowing SID to access biometric templates from CommCare projects. This release refines that implementation by changing how records are read, significantly reducing 1:N matching times.

Sync UI/UX improvements

Simprints ID allows users to manually synchronise biometric records and events. This is very helpful for devices with ad-hoc connectivity, however users fed back that the level of information and control when syncing could be improved. This release gives users more information on what is being synced and the progress of each individual sync.

Selected features, bug fixes, and improvements

• MS-1039: Added flashlight controls. If your device has a flashlight, you can now use it to get the best capture possible in low-light conditions.
• MS-1061: Resolved an issue where logging out from one project and into another could lead to loss of synced records.

v2025.2.0

Simprints ID 2025.2.0

• Release Date: Nov 17, 2025

Simprints ID 2025.2.0 is a major release with a focus on stability improvements.

Highlights

Database migration

The current database SID uses to store records on Android devices, Realm, will no longer be supported going forward. This release introduces a new database, Room, and support for migrating records from Realm to Room in a seamless way that won't impact user experience. An added benefit of Room is that it appears to significantly increase the speed of 1:N matching across devices.

1:N metadata support

Metadata is Simprints' solution for passing custom data to Simprints ID when performing biometric operations. This was previously supported in all operations except 1:N confirmations. This is now supported, which may be helpful for projects wishing to pass intervention data to SID at a later stage in a 1:N session.

Selected features, bug fixes, and improvements

• Updates to support automated testing.
• Improved UI for face capture instructions.
• Foundational work to facilitate enrolment record updates in the future.
• CoSync analytics improvements.

v2025.1.0

Simprints ID 2025.1.0

• Release Date: Mar 17, 2025 (Beta)

Simprints ID 2025.1.0 is a major release which includes a mixture of new features and stability improvements. Looking ahead to Gavi Ghana 2 scale up, we have continued to add refinements, most notably with our first ever face auto-capture implementation.

Warning: As this version contains a breaking bug on devices using Android 6 and 7, this release should never be published as Production on Google Play Store.

Highlights

Face autocapture (experimental)

Projects can try out the new experimental autocapture feature, which should make capturing much easier, particularly for more mobile subjects.

Advanced troubleshooting

Users are now just 5 secret taps away from information that will help us understand their device, past workflows, and what might be going wrong if they have issues.

Manual config sync

SID now includes a button to manually update configuration, meaning users won't need to wait for SID to sync configuration in the background.

Selected features, bug fixes, and improvements

• Improved UI for record matching, showing more detailed progress against the total records on the device.
• Transformed the tier categorisation returned by SID to match the decision policy, providing more meaningful insight to result categories.
• Refreshed the fingerprint capture UI.
• Added a configurable threshold to limit the number of No finger detected scan attempts.
• Improvements to CoSync functionality aimed at improving accuracy.
• Fixed an issue where Vero scanners temporarily lose connection.
• Resolved the Split Session Bug, which was creating multiple session IDs across a workflow.
