# iOS SDK

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to integrating the Youverify Liveness iOS and Document Capture SDKs into your mobile applications. These SDKs enable real-time liveness detection to verify that users are physically present as well the capture of users document for real-time information extraction and verification. Two versions of our Liveness SDKs are available to suit different iOS versions and development frameworks:

* **YouverifyLivenessSDK:** The recommended version, built with SwiftUI, requiring a minimum of iOS 14. Supports both Passive and Active Liveness.
* **YouverifyLivenessSDKCompat:** The compatibility version, built with UIKit, requiring a minimum of iOS 12. Supports only Active Liveness.

### Choosing the Right SDK

Select the SDK that best fits your application's needs based on iOS version support and framework:

* **Passive Liveness**: Detects liveness without user interaction (e.g., blinking, skin texture analysis). Available only in ***YouverifyLivenessSDK***.
* **Active Liveness**: Requires users to perform actions (e.g., head movements, answering questions). Supported in both SDKs, with minimum iOS requirements as specified.

<mark style="color:red;">**Note**</mark>: If targeting iOS 14 with YouverifyLivenessSDK, only Active Liveness is available; Passive Liveness requires iOS 15+.
