Feb 1, 2025

Summary for 2025-02: Key features delivered include QR Issuance UX Improvements, NFC-based Credential Presentation Enhancements, Bluetooth Data Transfer Enablement, and Dev Environment/Test Infrastructure upgrades. QR Issuance UX Improvements deliver smoother user feedback by displaying an error view on issuance failures, cleaning up back navigation, and routing errors through the error service to provide clear feedback during failed QR issuance attempts. NFC-based Credential Presentation Enhancements enable local NFC/mDoc presentation by integrating necessary libraries/services, with refactoring to support authentication consent and presentation requests. Bluetooth Data Transfer Enablement activates basic BLE capabilities for presentment handover in central/client and peripheral/server modes. Dev Environment and Test Infrastructure improvements introduce a temporary Maven repo for identity-credential snapshot libraries and strengthen test reliability with coroutine handling adjustments in tests.
