Learn how to build an application that can verify an mDoc from another app on the same device

Overview

In this tutorial you will use the mDocs Mobile Verifier SDKs to build an application that can verify an mDoc presented from a different application on the same device via OID4VP, as defined in ISO 18013-7 Annex B.

Remote mobile app verification overview

  1. A relying party uses the Mobile Verifier SDK to embed a remote verification workflow into a mobile application.
  2. When a user interacts with the mobile application, a matching wallet application installed on their mobile device is invoked to request an mDoc for verification.
  3. The user consents to sharing the requested information.
  4. The user's wallet application shares the matching mDoc with the MATTR VII tenant configured by the Mobile Verifier SDK to perform the verification workflow.
  5. The MATTR VII tenant performs the required checks and returns the verification results via the Mobile Verifier SDK to the verifier application.
  6. The user journey continues based on the verification results.

The result will look something like this:

Similar to the iOS and Android videos, but with a single app running on both platforms.

To achieve this, you will build the following capabilities into your verifier application:

  • Initialize the SDK, so that your application can use its functions and classes.
  • Request an mDoc for verification from a compliant wallet application.
  • Handle the redirect from the wallet application.
  • Display the verification results.

Prerequisites

Before you get started, let's make sure you have everything you need.

Prior knowledge

  • The remote verification workflow described in this tutorial is based on the OID4VP specification and the ISO 18013-7 standard. If you are unfamiliar with these, refer to the following resources for more information:

  • We assume you have experience developing applications in the relevant programming languages and frameworks (Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android).

Assets

  • Complete the sign up form to get trial access to MATTR VII and the MATTR Portal, and then Create a tenant.
  • As part of your MATTR Pi SDK onboarding process you should have been provided with access to the following SDK resources:
    • ZIP file which includes the required framework: (MobileCredentialVerifierSDK-*version*.xcframework.zip).
    • Sample Verifier app: You can use this app for reference as you work through this tutorial.

This tutorial is written for the latest release of the iOS mDocs Verifier SDK. Check the linked changelog to confirm the current version before you begin.

This tutorial is written for the latest release of the React Native mDocs Verifier SDK. The npm package bundles matching iOS and Android native frameworks, so use the latest published package version and check the linked release notes to confirm the current version before you begin.

Development environment

  • Xcode setup with either:
    • Local build settings if you are developing locally.
    • iOS developer account if you intend to publish your app.

Testing device

You will need a mobile device to test the workflow with.

Supported iOS device to run the built Verifier application on, setup with:

  • Available internet connection
  • A wallet application that can present an mDoc remotely as per ISO/IEC 18013-7 and OID4VP. MATTR GO Hold does not support remote presentation, so if you don't have a suitable wallet available, we recommend using the sample holder app you can build with our Holder SDK quickstart guide.
  • Use your testing wallet application to claim an mDoc by scanning the following QR code:

React Native apps built with Expo development builds must run on a physical device, not a simulator or emulator, to complete the app-to-app presentation flow with a wallet installed on the same device.

Got everything? Let's get going!

Overview

The following diagram depicts the workflow you will build in this tutorial:

  1. The user triggers the workflow by interacting with the verifier application.
  2. The verifier application uses the embedded Mobile Verifier SDK capabilities to start a presentation-based verification session with the configured MATTR VII tenant.
  3. The MATTR VII tenant responds with a link to invoke a matching wallet application.
  4. The verifier application uses the link to invoke a matching wallet application using a redirect.
  5. The wallet application makes a request to the MATTR VII tenant to retrieve a request object, defining what information is requested for verification.
  6. The MATTR VII tenant returns the request object to the wallet application.
  7. The wallet application (upon user consent) returns an authorization response to the MATTR VII tenant, which includes the information required for verification.
  8. The MATTR VII tenant returns the verification results to the verifier application.
  9. The verifier application surfaces the verification results to the user and the interaction continues.

You will build this workflow in two parts:

  1. Part 1: Setup the MATTR VII Verifier tenant.
  2. Part 2: Build a mobile application with mDocs verification capabilities.

Part 1: Setup the MATTR VII Verifier tenant

The MATTR VII tenant will be used to interact with your mobile application (generating a verification request) and the wallet application (presenting an mDoc for verification) as per OID4VP and ISO/IEC 18013-7 Annex B. To enable this, you must:

  1. Create a verifier application configuration: Define what applications can create verification sessions with the MATTR VII tenant, and how to handle these requests.
  2. Create a supported wallet configuration: Define how to invoke specific wallet applications as part of a remote verification workflow.
  3. Configure a trusted issuer: The MATTR VII verifier tenant will only accept mDocs issued by these trusted issuers.

You can perform these steps via the MATTR Portal or by making API requests to your MATTR VII tenant.

Create a verifier application configuration

Each MATTR VII tenant can interact with multiple verifier applications, and can handle requests differently for each application. This means you must create a verifier application configuration that defines how to handle verification requests from your mobile application.

  1. Log in to the MATTR Portal.
  2. In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, expand the Credential Verification menu.
  3. Select Applications.
  4. Select Create new.
  5. Enter a meaningful Name for your application (e.g. "My iOS Mobile Verifier Application").
  6. Use the Type dropdown to select iOS as you are building an iOS application.
  7. Enter your Apple Developer Team ID in the Team ID field. You can find it in the Membership details section of your Apple Developer account.
  8. Enter your iOS application bundle identifier in the Bundle ID field. This is the unique identifier of your iOS application, which you can set in your Xcode project settings. This will be used by the MATTR VII tenant to validate incoming requests are from a known and trusted application.
  9. In the OID4VP Configuration section, enter your redirect URI in the Redirect URI field. This should be structured as follows: {your_app_bundleId}://my/path. This is the URI the user is redirected to after presenting the credential from their wallet. This can point to your app via a custom URI scheme or a web page.
  10. Select Create.
  11. Make note of the generated application ID. You will need this value to initialize the SDK in your mobile application later in this tutorial.

Make the following request to your MATTR VII tenant to create a verifier application configuration:

Request
POST /v2/presentations/applications
Request body

  },
  "resultAvailableInFrontChannel": true
}
  • name : You can use whatever name you'd like, as long as it is unique on your tenant.
  • type : Use ios as you are building an iOS application.
  • teamId : Replace with your Apple Developer Team ID associated with your iOS application. You can find it in the Membership details section of your Apple Developer account.
  • bundleId : Replace with your iOS application bundle identifier. This is the unique identifier of your iOS application, which you can set in your Xcode project settings. This will be used by the MATTR VII tenant to validate incoming requests are from a known and trusted application.
  • openid4vpConfiguration:
    • redirectUri : This is the URI the user is redirected to after presenting the credential from their wallet. This can point to your app via a custom URI scheme or a web page. Make sure to use your actual app bundle ID, so that the redirect URI is structured as follows: {your_app_bundleId}://my/path.
  • resultAvailableInFrontChannel : Setting this to true makes the verification results available directly to the mobile application.

  1. Log in to the MATTR Portal.
  2. In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, expand the Credential Verification menu.
  3. Select Applications.
  4. Select Create new.
  5. Enter a meaningful Name for your application (e.g. "My Android Mobile Verifier Application").
  6. Use the Type dropdown to select Android as you are building an Android application.
  7. In the Package Name field, enter your Android application package name. This is the unique identifier of your Android application, which must match the package name you set later in this tutorial.
  8. In the Signing certificate thumbprints field, enter a temporary placeholder value (e.g. 3A9F6C1D4E8B72F0A5C3D6E19B4F8A2C7D1E0B9F3A6C5D4E7B8F2A1C9D0E3F5B). MATTR VII uses this to verify requests come from your signed app. You will update the placeholder value after you retrieve the signing certificate in Step 1: Environment setup.
  9. In the OID4VP configuration section, enter a redirect URI in the Redirect URI field. This is the URI used to return the user to your app after the wallet presents the credential. It must resolve to a path your app can handle (via custom URI scheme or web page). In this tutorial you'll use a custom scheme based on your package name: {your_app_packageName}://oid4vp-callback.
  10. Select Create.
  11. Make note of the generated application ID. You will need this value to initialize the SDK in your mobile application later in this tutorial.

Make the following request to your MATTR VII tenant to create a verifier application configuration:

}
  • id : You will use this value later to:
    • Initialize the SDK so that requests coming from your verifier application can be recognized and trusted by the MATTR VII tenant.
    • Update the packageSigningCertificateThumbprints value once we retrieve the app signing certificate.

A React Native app runs on both iOS and Android, and the MATTR VII tenant validates incoming requests differently for each platform, so you need to set up a separate verifier application for each platform you intend to test on: an iOS application and an Android application.

Create a supported wallet configuration

Verifier applications can define specific wallet applications to accept mDocs from as part of their verification workflows. The MATTR VII verifier tenant needs to be configured with a specific URI scheme that will be used to invoke these wallets.

  1. Log in to the MATTR Portal (if you haven't already).
  2. In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, expand the Credential Verification menu.
  3. Click on Supported wallets.
  4. Click on Create new.
  5. Enter a meaningful Name for the new supported wallet (e.g. "My Supported Wallet").
  6. Enter mdoc-openid4vp:// in the Authorization Endpoint field. This is the URI scheme that will be used to invoke the wallet application. More information on applying different URI schemes and the resulting user experience can be found in the workflow page.
  7. Click on Create.

The authorizationEndpoint configured in the example above (mdoc-openid4vp://) is the default OID4VP scheme. While this is technically redundant, we chose to include this step to explain how to configure this endpoint for wallet application using different schemes. More information on applying different URI schemes and the resulting user experience can be found in the workflow page.

Make the following request to your MATTR VII tenant to create a trusted wallet provider configuration:

Request
POST /v2/presentations/wallet-providers
Request body
{
  "name": "My Trusted Wallet Provider",
  "openid4vpConfiguration": {
    "authorizationEndpoint": "mdoc-openid4vp://"
  }
}
  • name : Unique name to identify this trusted wallet provider.
  • authorizationEndpoint : URI scheme that will be used to invoke the wallet application. More information on applying different URI schemes and the resulting user experience can be found in the workflow page.

The authorizationEndpoint configured in the example above (mdoc-openid4vp://) is the default OID4VP scheme. While this is technically redundant, we chose to include this step to explain how to configure this endpoint for wallet application using different schemes.

  "openid4vpConfiguration": {
    "authorizationEndpoint": "mdoc-openid4vp://"
  }
}
  • id : You will use this value later to indicate this is the wallet the verifier application expects to receive mDocs from.

Configure a trusted issuer

  1. In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, expand the Credential Verification menu.
  2. Click on Trusted issuers.
  3. Click on Create new.
  4. Copy and paste the following certificate in the Certificate PEM file field:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
  1. Click on Add.

You must configure trusted issuers on your MATTR VII verifier tenant, as presented mDocs will only be verified if they had been issued by a trusted issuer.

This is achieved by providing the PEM certificate of the IACA used by these issuers to sign mDocs. In production environments the issuer can provide it out of band or you can obtain it via their issuer's metadata.

Make the following request to your MATTR VII tenant to configure a truster issuer:

Request

  "certificatePem": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIICYzCCAgmgAwIBAgIKXhjLoCkLWBxREDAKBggqhkjOPQQDAjA4MQswCQYDVQQG\nEwJBVTEpMCcGA1UEAwwgbW9udGNsaWZmLWRtdi5tYXR0cmxhYnMuY29tIElBQ0Ew\nHhcNMjQwMTE4MjMxNDE4WhcNMzQwMTE1MjMxNDE4WjA4MQswCQYDVQQGEwJBVTEp\nMCcGA1UEAwwgbW9udGNsaWZmLWRtdi5tYXR0cmxhYnMuY29tIElBQ0EwWTATBgcq\nhkjOPQIBBggqhkjOPQMBBwNCAASBnqobOh8baMW7mpSZaQMawj6wgM5e5nPd6HXp\ndB8eUVPlCMKribQ7XiiLU96rib/yQLH2k1CUeZmEjxoEi42xo4H6MIH3MBIGA1Ud\nEwEB/wQIMAYBAf8CAQAwDgYDVR0PAQH/BAQDAgEGMB0GA1UdDgQWBBRFZwEOI9yq\n232NG+OzNQzFKa/LxDAuBgNVHRIEJzAlhiNodHRwczovL21vbnRjbGlmZi1kbXYu\nbWF0dHJsYWJzLmNvbTCBgQYDVR0fBHoweDB2oHSgcoZwaHR0cHM6Ly9tb250Y2xp\nZmYtZG12LnZpaS5hdTAxLm1hdHRyLmdsb2JhbC92Mi9jcmVkZW50aWFscy9tb2Jp\nbGUvaWFjYXMvMjk0YmExYmMtOTFhMS00MjJmLThhMTctY2IwODU0NWY0ODYwL2Ny\nbDAKBggqhkjOPQQDAgNIADBFAiAlZYQP95lGzVJfCykhcpCzpQ2LWE/AbjTGkcGI\nSNsu7gIhAJfP54a2hXz4YiQN4qJERlORjyL1Ru9M0/dtQppohFm6\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
}

If you intend to test this tutorial with a credential different than the one recommended in our Testing device prerequisite, replace the certificatePem value with your own issuer's IACA.

A successful 201 response indicates that this issuer's certificate was added to your MATTR VII tenant's trusted issuer's list. This means that mDocs that use this IACA as their root certificate can be trusted and verified.

Part 2: Build a mobile application with mDocs verification capabilities

Now that the MATTR VII verifier tenant is properly configured, you can proceed with the steps required to embed verification capabilities into your mobile verifier application:

  1. Setup your environment: Setup the required infrastructure for your mobile application.
  2. Initialize the SDK: So that the SDK functions are available in your mobile application.
  3. Request a credential from wallet application: Build the capability to request an mDoc for verification from a wallet application.
  4. Display verification results:

Step 1: Environment setup

Step 1: Create a new project

Follow the detailed instructions to Create a new Xcode Project and add your organization's identifier.

Step 2: Unzip the dependencies file

  1. Unzip the MobileCredentialVerifierSDK-*version*.xcframework.zip file.
  2. Drag the MobileCredentialVerifierSDK-*version*.xcframework folder into your project.
  3. Configure MobileCredentialVerifierSDK.xcframework to Embed & sign.

See Add existing files and folders for detailed instructions.

This should result in the the following framework being added to your project:

Framework added

Step 3: Run the application

Select Run and make sure the application launches with a “Hello, world!” text in the middle of the display, as shown in the following image:

Application ready

Step 1: Create a new project

  1. Create a new Android Studio project, using the Empty Activity template.

Create a new Android project

  1. Name the project Mobile Verifier Tutorial.
  2. Select API 24 as the Minimum SDK version.
  3. Select Kotlin DSL as the Build configuration language.

Project configuration

  1. Click Finish.
  2. Sync the project with Gradle files.

Step 2: Add required dependencies

  1. Select the Project view.

  2. Create a new directory named repo in your project's folder.

  3. Unzip the mobile-credential-verifier-*version*.zip file and copy the unzipped global folder into the new repo folder.

  4. Open the settings.gradle.kts file in the MobileVerifierTutorial folder and add the following Maven repository to the dependencyResolutionManagement.repositories block:

    settings.gradle.kts
    maven {
        url = uri("repo")
    }
  5. Open the app/build.gradle.kts file in your app folder and add the following dependencies to the dependencies block:

    app/build.gradle.kts
    implementation("global.mattr.mobilecredential:verifier:6.1.0")
    implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.9.0")
  • The verifier dependency version should match the version of the unzipped mobile-credential-verifier-*version*.zip file you copied to the repo folder.
  • The required navigation-compose version may differ based on your version of the IDE, Gradle, and other project dependencies.
  1. Open the Build tab and select Sync to make sure that the project has synced successfully.

    Synced successfully

Step 3: Run the application

  1. Connect a debuggable mobile device to your machine.
  2. Build and run the app on the connected mobile device. The app should launch with a “Hello, Android!” text displayed.

Step 4: Update app signing certificate

  1. Open a terminal inside your project's root folder.
  2. Run the following command to retrieve your application's signing certificate:
    ./gradlew signingReport
  3. Locate the SHA-256 value in the Variant: debug section.
  4. Copy the SHA-256 value and:
    • Remove all colons (:).
    • Convert all letters to lowercase.
Example conversion
echo '91:F7:CB:F9:D6:81:53:1B:C7:A5:8F:B8:33:CC:A1:4D:AB:ED:E5:09:C5' | tr -d ':' | tr 'A-F' 'a-f'
  1. Make a request of the following structure to update your MATTR VII verifier application's packageSigningCertificateThumbprints value with the retrieved signing certificate thumbprint:
Request
PUT /v2/presentations/applications/{applicationId}
Request body
{
  "name": "My Android Mobile Verifier Application",
  "type": "android",
  "packageName": "com.example.mobileverifiertutorial",
  "openid4vpConfiguration": {
    "redirectUri": "com.example.mobileverifiertutorial://oid4vp-callback"
  },
"packageSigningCertificateThumbprints" : ["91f7cbf9d681531bc7a58fb833cca14dabede509c5"]
}
  • packageSigningCertificateThumbprints : Replace with the retrieved signing certificate thumbprint.

This thumbprint is only valid for your debug builds. If you intend to publish your app, you will need to repeat this process with the release signing certificate. Refer to Android App Signing for more information.

Step 1: Access the tutorial starter codebase

  1. Access the tutorial starter codebase by either:

    • Cloning the MATTR sample-apps repository:

      Clone the repository
      git clone https://github.com/mattrglobal/sample-apps.git
    • Or downloading just the starter directory using the download-directory.github.io utility.

  2. Open the tutorial project in your code editor. You can find it in the sample-apps/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial-starter/ directory.

You can find the completed tutorial code in the sample-apps/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial-complete directory and use it as a reference as you work through this tutorial.

Step 2: Configure the app identifiers

  1. Open the app.config.ts file and update the bundleIdentifier value under the // Update the bundle identifier comment to the iOS bundle ID you used when you created the verifier application:

    app.config.ts
    bundleIdentifier: "global.mattr.learn.rnremoteverifiersampleapp",
  2. Update the package value under the // Update the package name comment to the Android package name you used when you created the verifier application:

    app.config.ts
    package: "global.mattr.learn.rnremoteverifiersampleapp",
  3. Add the custom URL scheme under the // Add the custom URL scheme used for the wallet redirect comment. This registers the scheme the wallet uses to redirect back to your app. Set it to your iOS bundle identifier:

    app.config.ts
    scheme: "global.mattr.learn.rnremoteverifiersampleapp",

Step 3: Configure the app plugins

Add the following code under the // Configure the app plugins comment to register the required plugin configurations:

app.config.ts
    "./withMobileCredentialAndroidVerifierSdk",
    "./withOpenid4VpCallbackActivity",
    [
      "expo-build-properties",
      {
        android: {
          minSdkVersion: 24,
          compileSdkVersion: 36,
          targetSdkVersion: 34,
          kotlinVersion: "2.0.21",
        },
      },
    ],

These plugin files have already been created in your project root directory:

  • withMobileCredentialAndroidVerifierSdk adds the Maven repository that hosts the native Android Verifier SDK.
  • withOpenid4VpCallbackActivity declares the SDK's OpenID4VP callback activity in AndroidManifest.xml, so the wallet can redirect back to your app on Android. The activity is bound to {your_packageName}://oid4vp-callback.

You can also follow the instructions in the mDocs Verifier SDK Docs to perform this platform-specific configuration manually.

Step 4: Install the dependencies

  1. Open a terminal in the project's root and navigate to the starter project directory:

    Navigate to the project directory
    cd sample-apps/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial/react-native-remote-verification-tutorial-starter/
  2. Install the application dependencies:

    Install dependencies
    yarn install

Step 5: Generate the iOS and Android project files

Run the following command to generate the native project files:

Generate project files
yarn expo prebuild

You should now see the ios and android folders in your project root.

Step 6: Start the application

Connect your testing device and run the following command for your target platform:

Run iOS application
yarn ios --device
Run Android application
yarn android --device

The app should launch with a single Request credentials button.

Step 7 (Android only): Update the app signing certificate

  1. From your project root, change into the generated android directory and retrieve your application's signing certificate:

    Retrieve signing certificate
    cd android && ./gradlew signingReport
  2. Locate the SHA-256 value in the Variant: debug section, remove all colons (:), and convert all letters to lowercase:

    Example conversion
    echo '91:F7:CB:F9:D6:81:53:1B:C7:A5:8F:B8:33:CC:A1:4D:AB:ED:E5:09:C5' | tr -d ':' | tr 'A-F' 'a-f'
  3. In the MATTR Portal, edit your Android verifier application and replace the placeholder Signing certificate thumbprints value with this thumbprint.

    This thumbprint is only valid for your debug builds. If you intend to publish your app, repeat this process with the release signing certificate. Refer to Android App Signing for more information.

Step 2: Initialize the SDK

The first capability you will build into your app is to initialize the SDK so that the app can use its functions and classes. To achieve this, you need to import the MobilecredentialVerifierSDK framework and then initialize the MobileCredentialVerifier class.

  1. Open the ContentView file in your new project and replace any existing code with the following:

    ContentView
    import SwiftUI
    import Combine
    // Step 2.3: Import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK
    
    struct ContentView: View {
        @ObservedObject var viewModel: VerifierViewModel = VerifierViewModel()
    
        var body: some View {
            NavigationStack(path: $viewModel.navigationPath) {
                VStack {
                    Button("Request credentials") {
                        viewModel.requestCredentials()
                    }
                    .padding()
                }
                .navigationDestination(for: NavigationState.self) { destination in
                    switch destination {
                    case .viewResponse:
                        presentationResponseView
                    }
                }
            }
            // Step 4.2: Handle MATTR VII redirect
    
        }
    
        // MARK: Verification Views
    
        var presentationResponseView: some View {
            // Step 4.4: Create PresentationResponseView
            EmptyView()
        }
    }
    
    // MARK: VerifierViewModel
    
    final class VerifierViewModel: ObservableObject {
        @Published var navigationPath = NavigationPath()
        // Step 2.4: Setup platform configuration
    
        // Step 2.5: Add MobileCredentialVerifier var
    
        // Step 2.6: Initialize the SDK
    
        // Step 3.1: Create MobileCredentialRequest instance
    
        // Step 3.2: Create receivedDocuments variable
    
    }
    
    // MARK: Same Device Verification
    
    extension VerifierViewModel {
        func requestCredentials() {
        // Step 3.3: Request credentials
        }
    }
    
    // MARK: - Navigation
    enum NavigationState: Hashable {
        case viewResponse
    }

    This will serve as the basic structure for your application. You will copy and paste different code snippets into specific locations to achieve the different functionalities. These locations are indicated by comments that reference both the section and the step.

    We recommend copying and pasting the comment text in Xcode search field (e.g. Step 2.3: Import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK) to easily locate it in the code.

  2. Create a new file named Constants and paste the following code into it to define constants which are required to initialize the SDK:

    Constants
    import Foundation
    
    enum Constants {
        static let tenantHost = URL(string: "https://learn.vii.au01.mattr.global")!
        static let applicationID = "74f91a0f-5909-43b0-a431-6da2397d1f86"
    }
  3. Return to the ContentView file and add the following code after the Step 2.3: Import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK comment to import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK and gain access to the SDK capabilities:

    ContentView
    import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK
  4. Add the following code under the Step 2.4: Setup platform configuration comment to create a PlatformConfiguration instance:

    ContentView
        let platformConfiguration = PlatformConfiguration(
            tenantHost: Constants.tenantHost
        )

    This instance configures the MATTR VII tenant that the SDK will interact with (tenantHost) based on the constants defined in the Constants file.

  5. Add the following code after the Step 2.5: Add MobileCredentialVerifier var comment to create a variable that will hold the mobileCredentialVerifier instance when the SDK is initialized:

    ContentView
        var mobileCredentialVerifier: MobileCredentialVerifier
  6. Add the following code after the Step 2.6: Initialize the SDK comment to initialize the MobileCredentialVerifier instance with the parameters defined in the platformConfiguration instance:

    ContentView
        init() {
            do {
                mobileCredentialVerifier = MobileCredentialVerifier.shared
                try mobileCredentialVerifier.initialize(platformConfiguration: platformConfiguration)
            } catch {
                print(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        }
  7. Run the app to ensure it compiles successfully.

The first capability you will build into your app is to initialize the SDK so that the app can use its functions and classes. To achieve this, you need to import the MobilecredentialVerifierSDK framework and then initialize the MobileCredentialVerifier class.

  1. Open the MainActivity file in your new project and replace any existing code with the following:

    MainActivity
    package com.example.mobileverifiertutorial

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
            enableEdgeToEdge()
            setContent {
                MobileVerifierTutorialTheme {
                    Scaffold(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) { innerPadding ->
                        Content(

            }
    
            // Step 2.3: Setup platform configuration
    
            // Step 2.4: Initialize the SDK
    
        }
    }
    
    @Composable
    fun Content(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
        val activity = (LocalContext.current) as Activity
        val viewModel: VerifierViewModel = viewModel()
    
        val documents by viewModel.receivedDocuments.collectAsState()
    
        Column(
            modifier = modifier
                            .fillMaxSize(),
            verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
            horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
        ) {
            Button(onClick = {
                viewModel.requestCredentials(activity)
            }) {
                Text("Request credentials")
            }
            LazyColumn(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
                items(documents) { document ->
                    // Step 4.5: Display received documents
    
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    @Preview(showBackground = true)
    @Composable
    fun ContentPreview() {
        MobileVerifierTutorialTheme {
            Content()
        }
    }
    
    class VerifierViewModel : ViewModel() {
        private val _receivedDocuments =
            MutableStateFlow<List<MobileCredentialPresentation>>(emptyList())
        val receivedDocuments: StateFlow<List<MobileCredentialPresentation>> = _receivedDocuments
    
        fun requestCredentials(activity: Activity) {
            // Step 3.1: Create MobileCredentialRequest instance
    
            viewModelScope.launch {
                _receivedDocuments.value = emptyList()
                try {
                    // Step 3.2: Request credentials
    
                    // Step 4.2: Handle response
    
                } catch (e: Exception) {
                    e.printStackTrace()
                }
            }
        }
    }

    This will serve as the basic structure for your application. You will copy and paste different code snippets into specific locations to achieve the different functionalities. These locations are indicated by comments that reference both the section and the step.

    We recommend copying and pasting the comment text in the Android Studio search field (e.g. Step 2.3: Setup platform configuration) to easily locate it in the code.

  2. Create a new file named Constants and paste the following code, replacing the values as indicated, to define constants which are required to initialize the SDK:

    Constants
    package com.example.mobileverifiertutorial
    
    object Constants {
        const val TENANT_HOST = "https://learn.vii.au01.mattr.global"
        const val APPLICATION_ID = "74f91a0f-5909-43b0-a431-6da2397d1f86"
    }
    • TENANT_HOST : Replace with the URL of your MATTR VII tenant. This indicates the tenant that the SDK will interact with.
    • APPLICATION_ID : Replace with the id returned when you created the MATTR VII verifier application. This indicates the verifier application that the SDK will represent.
  3. Add the following code under the Step 2.3: Setup platform configuration comment to create a PlatformConfiguration instance:

    MainActivity
    val platformConfiguration = PlatformConfiguration(
        tenantHost = URL(Constants.TENANT_HOST)
    )

    This instance configures the MATTR VII tenant that the SDK will interact with (tenantHost) based on the constants defined in the Constants file.

  4. Add the following code after the Step 2.4: Initialize the SDK comment to initialize the MobileCredentialVerifier instance with the parameters defined in the platformConfiguration instance:

    MainActivity
    lifecycleScope.launch {
        MobileCredentialVerifier.initialize(
            context = this@MainActivity, platformConfiguration = platformConfiguration
        )
    }
  5. Run the app to ensure it compiles successfully.

The first capability you will build into your app is to initialize the SDK so that the app can use its functions and classes. To achieve this, you import the SDK and call initialize with your tenant host configuration.

  1. Open the App.tsx file in your project and replace the existing code with the following skeleton structure:

    App.tsx
    import {
      type MobileCredentialResponse,
      handleDeepLink,
      initialize,
      requestMobileCredentials,
    } from "@mattrglobal/mobile-credential-verifier-react-native";
    // import { VerificationResultsModal } from "./VerificationResultsModal";
    
    import * as Crypto from "expo-crypto";
    import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";
    import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
    import { ActivityIndicator, Alert, Linking, Platform, SafeAreaView, Text, TouchableOpacity, View } from "react-native";
    
    import { Constants } from "./Constants";
    import { styles } from "./styles";
    
    export default function App() {
      // State variables for SDK initialization, UI, and loading messages.
      const [isSDKInitialized, setIsSDKInitialized] = useState(false);
      const [loadingMessage, setLoadingMessage] = useState<string | false>(false);
      const [verificationResults, setVerificationResults] = useState<MobileCredentialResponse | null>(null);
      const [showVerificationResults, setShowVerificationResults] = useState(false);
    
      // Step 2: Initialize the SDK
    
      // Step 4.1: Handle the wallet redirect (iOS)
    
      // Step 3: Request credentials
    
      return (
        <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
          <StatusBar style="auto" />
          <View style={styles.header}>
            <Text style={styles.title}>mDocs Remote Verifier</Text>
          </View>
    
          {loadingMessage ? (
            <View style={[styles.content, styles.center]}>
              <ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#007AFF" />
              <Text style={styles.loadingText}>{loadingMessage}</Text>
            </View>
          ) : (
            <View style={styles.content}>
              <View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
                {/* Step 3: Add the Request credentials button */}
              </View>
              {!isSDKInitialized && <Text style={styles.errorText}>SDK not initialized. Please restart the app.</Text>}
            </View>
          )}
    
          {/* Step 4.3: Display the verification results */}
        </SafeAreaView>
      );
    }

    This will serve as the basic structure for your application. You will add code to specific locations to achieve the different functionalities. These locations are indicated by comments that reference the step.

    We recommend using your editor's search functionality to locate comments like // Step 2: Initialize the SDK when adding new code.

  2. Create a new file named Constants.ts and paste the following code, replacing the values as indicated, to define the constants required to initialize the SDK and request credentials:

    Constants.ts
    import { Platform } from "react-native";
    
    /**
     * Configuration values used to initialize the SDK and request credentials.
     *
     * Replace these placeholders with your own values before running the app:
     * - `TENANT_HOST`: the URL of your MATTR VII tenant, available in the MATTR Portal under
     *   Platform Management > Tenant.
     * - `IOS_APPLICATION_ID` / `ANDROID_APPLICATION_ID`: the `id` returned when you created the verifier
     *   application configuration in the MATTR Portal under Credential Verification > Applications.
     *   iOS and Android each use their own verifier application, because the redirect URI registered on
     *   the application must match that platform's URL scheme (see `app.config.ts`). Configure one
     *   application ID per platform.
     */
    const IOS_APPLICATION_ID = "your-ios-application-id";
    const ANDROID_APPLICATION_ID = "your-android-application-id";
    
    export const Constants = {
      TENANT_HOST: "https://your-tenant.vii.mattr.global",
      // Resolves to the verifier application ID for the current platform.
      APPLICATION_ID: Platform.OS === "ios" ? IOS_APPLICATION_ID : ANDROID_APPLICATION_ID,
    };
    • TENANT_HOST : Replace with the URL of your MATTR VII tenant. This indicates the tenant that the SDK will interact with.
    • IOS_APPLICATION_ID and ANDROID_APPLICATION_ID : Create one verifier application per platform you support, each with a redirect URI that matches that platform's URL scheme. You configure these schemes in app.config.ts in Step 1: Environment setup: iOS uses {scheme}://my/path and Android uses {package}://oid4vp-callback. Because the redirect URI on each verifier application must match the scheme its platform uses, each platform needs its own application. Paste the iOS application id into IOS_APPLICATION_ID and the Android application id into ANDROID_APPLICATION_ID. You can find the IDs in the MATTR Portal under Credential Verification > Applications.
    • APPLICATION_ID : Resolves automatically to the verifier application id for the current platform at runtime. The SDK reads this value when requesting credentials, so you do not need to change anywhere it is consumed.
  3. Return to the App.tsx file and add the following code under the // Step 2: Initialize the SDK comment to initialize the SDK with your tenant host:

    App.tsx
      useEffect(() => {
        const initializeSDK = async () => {
          try {
            setLoadingMessage("Initializing SDK...");
            const result = await initialize({
              platformConfiguration: { tenantHost: Constants.TENANT_HOST },
            });
            if (result.isErr()) {
              console.error("Failed to initialize SDK:", result.error);
              Alert.alert("Error", "Failed to initialize the verifier SDK");
              return;
            }
            setIsSDKInitialized(true);
          } catch (error) {
            console.error("Failed to initialize SDK:", error);
            Alert.alert("Error", "Failed to initialize the verifier SDK");
          } finally {
            setLoadingMessage(false);
          }
        };
    
        initializeSDK();
      }, []);

    Unlike the in-person (proximity) flow, the remote flow requires a tenantHost: the SDK starts presentation sessions with this MATTR VII tenant, which performs the verification server-side and returns the results. The SDK uses a Result type for expected errors, so you check result.isErr() rather than relying on a thrown exception.

  4. Run the app to ensure it compiles successfully.

Step 3: Request a credential from wallet application

Once the SDK is initialized, you can start building the capabilities to request an mDoc for verification from a wallet application. This is done by:

  1. Creating a request object that defines what information is required for verification.
  2. Sending this request to the wallet application installed on the device.
  3. Redirecting the user to the wallet application to present the requested mDoc.
  1. Open the ContentView file and add the following code under the Step 3.1: Create MobileCredentialRequest instance comment to create a new MobileCredentialRequest instance:

    ContentView
        let mobileCredentialRequest = MobileCredentialRequest(
            docType: "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL",
            namespaces: [
                "org.iso.18013.5.1":  [
                    "family_name": false,
                    "given_name": false,
                    "birth_date": false
                ]
            ]
        )

    This object defines what information is required for verification:

    • The requested credential type (e.g. org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL).
    • The claims required for verification (e.g. family_name).
    • The requested namespace (e.g. org.iso.18013.5.1).
    • Whether or not the verifier intends to persist the claim value (true/false). Declarative only and not currently enforced by the SDK. For the verification to be successful, the presented credential must include the referenced claim against the specific namespace defined in the request. Our example requests the birth_date under the org.iso.18013.5.1 namespace. If a wallet responds to this request with a credential that includes a birth_date but rather under the org.iso.18013.5.1.US namespace, the claim will not be verified.
  2. Add the following code under the Step 3.2: Create receivedDocuments variable comment to create a new receivedDocuments variable that will hold the response received from the wallet application:

    ContentView
        @Published var receivedDocuments: [MobileCredentialPresentation] = []
  3. Add the following code under the Step 3.3: Request credentials comment to call the SDK's requestMobileCredentials method:

    ContentView
            Task { @MainActor in
                // Clean the response before fetching a new one
                receivedDocuments = []
                do {
                    let onlinePresentationResult = try await mobileCredentialVerifier.requestMobileCredentials(request: [mobileCredentialRequest], challenge: UUID().uuidString, applicationId: Constants.applicationID)
                    guard let receivedCredentials = onlinePresentationResult.mobileCredentialResponse?.credentials else {
                        let errorMessage = onlinePresentationResult.error?.message ?? "No error message"
                        print("No response received: \(errorMessage)")
                        return
                    }
                    receivedDocuments = receivedCredentials
                } catch {
                    print(error.localizedDescription)
                }
            }

    The following parameters are passed to the requestMobileCredentials method:

    • request : Defines what information to request. This example is passing the mobileCredentialRequest instance you created in the previous step.
    • challenge : Unique challenge generated by the SDK to identify this specific presentation session. Should be a unique, unpredictable value generated for each verification session to mitigate replay attacks by ensuring the response from the wallet app is tied to the current request and cannot be reused maliciously. Always generate a new challenge for every same credential request.
    • applicationId : Identifier of the application that will be used to verify the request. In this example it is retrieved from the information defined in the Constants file.
  4. Run the app and press Request credentials button.

    You will be redirected to a compliant wallet application, where you will see the verification request details and choose what mDoc to present for verification.

Once you send the response from the wallet nothing will happen, which is expected at this stage. In the next step you will build the capability to redirect the user back to the verifier application and handle the response from the wallet.

  1. Open the MainActivity file and add the following code under the Step 3.1: Create MobileCredentialRequest instance comment to create a new MobileCredentialRequest instance:

    MainActivity
     val mobileCredentialRequest = MobileCredentialRequest(
         docType = "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL", namespaces = NameSpaces(
             mapOf(
                 "org.iso.18013.5.1" to DataElements(
                     mapOf(
                         "family_name" to false, "given_name" to false, "birth_date" to false
                     )
                 )
             )
         )
     )

    This object defines what information is required for verification:

    • The requested credential type (e.g. org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL).
    • The claims required for verification (e.g. family_name).
    • The requested namespace (e.g. org.iso.18013.5.1).
    • Whether or not the verifier intends to persist the claim value (true/false). Declarative only and not currently enforced by the SDK.

    For the verification to be successful, the presented credential must include the referenced claim against the specific namespace defined in the request. Our example requests the birth_date under the org.iso.18013.5.1 namespace. If a wallet responds to this request with a credential that includes a birth_date but rather under the org.iso.18013.5.1.US namespace, the claim will not be verified.

  2. Add the following code under the Step 3.2: Request credentials comment to call the SDK's requestMobileCredentials method:

    MainActivity
    val onlinePresentationResult = MobileCredentialVerifier.requestMobileCredentials(
        activity = activity,
        request = listOf(mobileCredentialRequest),
        applicationId = Constants.APPLICATION_ID
    )

    The following parameters are passed to the requestMobileCredentials method:

    • activity : Defines the current activity context.
    • request : Defines what information to request. This example is passing the mobileCredentialRequest instance you created in the previous step.
    • applicationId : Identifier of the application that will be used to verify the request. In this example it is retrieved from the information defined in the Constants file.
  3. Run the app and press Request credentials button.

    You will be redirected to a compliant wallet application, where you will see the verification request details and choose what mDoc to present for verification.

Once you send the response from the wallet nothing will happen, which is expected at this stage. In the next step you will build the capability to redirect the user back to the verifier application and handle the response from the wallet.

  1. Open the App.tsx file and add the following code under the // Step 3: Request credentials comment to create a function that builds a request and starts a remote presentation session:

    App.tsx
      const requestCredentials = async () => {
        try {
          setVerificationResults(null);
          setLoadingMessage("Requesting credentials...");
    
          // Define what information to request:
          // - docType: the requested credential type (org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL)
          // - namespaces: the requested namespace (org.iso.18013.5.1) and claims
          // - Each claim value (false) indicates the verifier does NOT intend to retain the data.
          const mobileCredentialRequest = {
            docType: "org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL",
            namespaces: {
              "org.iso.18013.5.1": {
                family_name: false,
                given_name: false,
                birth_date: false,
              },
            },
          };
    
          const result = await requestMobileCredentials({
            request: [mobileCredentialRequest],
            applicationId: Constants.APPLICATION_ID,
            challenge: Crypto.randomUUID(),
          });
    
          if (result.isErr()) {
            throw new Error(`Failed to request credentials: ${result.error.message}`);
          }
    
          const session = result.value;
          if (!session.isSuccess) {
            throw new Error(`Verification session failed: ${session.error.message}`);
          }
    
          const response = session.mobileCredentialResponse;
          if (!response) {
            throw new Error("No verification results were returned by the tenant.");
          }
    
          setVerificationResults(response);
          setShowVerificationResults(true);
        } catch (error) {
          console.error("Error requesting credentials:", error);
          Alert.alert("Error", error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error));
        } finally {
          setLoadingMessage(false);
        }
      };

    The following parameters are passed to the requestMobileCredentials method:

    • request : Defines what information to request. This example passes the mobileCredentialRequest object you defined above. For the verification to be successful, the presented credential must include the referenced claims against the specific namespace defined in the request.
    • applicationId : Identifier of the verifier application that will be used to verify the request. In this example it is retrieved from the Constants file.
    • challenge : A unique, unpredictable value generated for each verification session to mitigate replay attacks. This example uses Crypto.randomUUID() from expo-crypto. Always generate a new challenge for every request.
  2. Add the following code under the {/* Step 3: Add the Request credentials button */} comment to add a button that invokes the requestCredentials function:

    App.tsx
                <TouchableOpacity
                  style={[styles.button, !isSDKInitialized && styles.buttonDisabled]}
                  onPress={requestCredentials}
                  disabled={!isSDKInitialized}
                >
                  <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Request credentials</Text>
                </TouchableOpacity>
  3. Run the app and press the Request credentials button.

    You will be redirected to a compliant wallet application, where you will see the verification request details and choose what mDoc to present for verification.

Once you send the response from the wallet nothing will happen, which is expected at this stage. In the next step you will build the capability to handle the response from the wallet and display the verification results.

Step 4: Display verification results

Once the user provides their consent to share the requested information, the wallet application will send the response back to the MATTR VII tenant, which will then return the verification results to your verifier application and redirect the user back to the configured redirect URI. In this part of the tutorial you will build the capability to handle this redirect and display the verification results in your application.

To enable the redirect back to your verifier application you must register a redirection link. This could be either a Universal link or a custom URL scheme. In this tutorial you will use a custom URL scheme.

  1. Register a custom URL scheme in your verifier application:

    • Open the project view and select your application target.
    • Select the Info tab.
    • Scroll down and expand the URL Types area.
    • Select the plus button.
    • Insert io.mattrlabs.dev.sampleApp.MdocSampleApp in both the Identifier and URL Schemes fields.

Custom URL registration

If you used a different bundle identifier when you configured the MATTR VII verifier application, make sure to replace io.mattrlabs.dev.sampleApp.MdocSampleApp with the bundle identifier you used.

  1. In your ContentView file, add the following code under the Step 4.2: Handle MATTR VII redirect comment to handle the redirect from the wallet application:

    ContentView
            .onOpenURL { url in
                // Navigate to response screen
                viewModel.navigationPath.append(NavigationState.viewResponse)
                viewModel.mobileCredentialVerifier.handleDeepLink(url)
            }

    This will pass the redirect URL to the SDK's handleDeepLink method, which will process the response from the wallet application and update the receivedDocuments variable with the verification results.

  2. Create a new file named DocumentView and add the following code to display the retrieved verification results:

    DocumentView
    import MobileCredentialVerifierSDK
    import SwiftUI
    import Combine
    
        struct DocumentView: View {
    
            var viewModel: DocumentViewModel
    
            var body: some View {
                VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 10) {
                    Text(viewModel.docType)
                        .font(.title)
                        .fontWeight(.bold)
                        .padding(.bottom, 5)
    
                    Text(viewModel.verificationResult)
                        .font(.title)
                        .fontWeight(.bold)
                        .foregroundStyle(viewModel.verificationFailedReason == nil ? .green : .red)
                        .padding(.bottom, 5)
    
                    if let verificationFailedReason = viewModel.verificationFailedReason {
                        Text(verificationFailedReason)
                            .font(.title3)
                            .fontWeight(.bold)
                            .foregroundStyle(.red)
                            .padding(.bottom, 5)
                    }
    
                    ForEach(viewModel.namespacesAndClaims.keys.sorted(), id: \.self) { key in
                        VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 5) {
                            Text(key)
                                .font(.headline)
                                .padding(.vertical, 5)
                                .padding(.horizontal, 10)
                                .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2))
                                .cornerRadius(5)
    
                            ForEach(viewModel.namespacesAndClaims[key]!.keys.sorted(), id: \.self) { claim in
                                HStack {

                                    Spacer()
                                    Text(viewModel.namespacesAndClaims[key]![claim]! ?? "")
                                        .fontWeight(.regular)

                }
            }
        }

    The DocumentView file comprises the following elements:

    • DocumentView : Basic UI layout for viewing received documents and verification results.
    • DocumentViewModel : This class takes MobileCredentialPresentation and converts its elements into strings that are displayed in the DocumentView.
    • Extension of MobileCredentialElementValue which converts the values of received claims into a human-readable format.
  3. Return to the ContentView file and replace the EmptyView() under the Step 4.4: Create PresentationResponseView comment with the following code to display the DocumentView view when verification results are available:

    ContentView
            ZStack {
            if viewModel.receivedDocuments.isEmpty {
                VStack(spacing: 40) {
                    Text("Waiting for response...")
                        .font(.title)
                    ProgressView()
                        .progressViewStyle(.circular)
                        .scaleEffect(2)
                }
            } else {
                ScrollView {
                    ForEach(viewModel.receivedDocuments, id: \.docType) { doc in
                        DocumentView(viewModel: DocumentViewModel(from: doc))
                            .padding(10)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

To enable the redirect back to your verifier application you must register a redirection link. This could be either App Links or a Custom deep links. In this tutorial you will use a custom deep link.

  1. In your app's AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following activity declaration to register the callback url:

    AndroidManifest.xml
    <activity
        android:name="global.mattr.mobilecredential.verifier.a2apresentation.callback.Openid4VpCallbackActivity"
        android:exported="true">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <!-- Match the openid4vpConfiguration you configured in the MATTR VII Verifier application -->
        <data
            android:scheme="com.example.mobileverifiertutorial"
            android:host="oid4vp-callback" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    • android:scheme : This must match the redirect custom scheme you defined when you created the verifier application.
    • android:host : This must match the redirect host you defined when you created the verifier application.
  2. Add the following code under the Step 4.2: Handle response to navigate the user to the response screen, where they can see the retrieved credentials, if the retrieval was successful:

    MainActivity.kt
    _receivedDocuments.value =
        onlinePresentationResult.mobileCredentialResponse?.credentials ?: emptyList()
  3. Create a new file named DocumentView.kt that will be used to display the response to the verifier application user.

  4. Copy and paste the following code into the new file:

    DocumentView.kt
    package com.example.mobileverifiertutorial

  5. Back in the MainActivity.kt file, add the following code under the Step 4.5: Display received documents comment:

    MainActivity.kt
    DocumentView(document)

After the wallet presents the credential, the user is redirected back to your app and the SDK makes the verification results available. Handling this redirect differs by platform:

  • iOS: The wallet redirects back to your app via the custom URL scheme you registered in app.config.ts. You must forward the redirect URL to the SDK so it can complete the pending requestMobileCredentials call.
  • Android: The withOpenid4VpCallbackActivity plugin you configured in Step 1: Environment setup declared the SDK's Openid4VpCallbackActivity in AndroidManifest.xml. The SDK handles the redirect automatically, so requestMobileCredentials resolves directly with the result and no additional code is required.
  1. In your App.tsx file, add the following code under the // Step 4.1: Handle the wallet redirect (iOS) comment to forward the redirect URL to the SDK on iOS:

    App.tsx
      useEffect(() => {
        if (Platform.OS !== "ios") {
          return;
        }
        const subscription = Linking.addEventListener("url", ({ url }) => {
          handleDeepLink({ url });
        });
        return () => subscription.remove();
      }, []);

    This passes the redirect URL to the SDK's handleDeepLink method, which processes the response from the wallet and resolves the pending requestMobileCredentials call so it returns the verification results.

  2. Create a new file named VerificationResultsModal.tsx and paste the following code to display the retrieved verification results:

    VerificationResultsModal.tsx
    import type { MobileCredentialResponse } from "@mattrglobal/mobile-credential-verifier-react-native";
    import { Modal, SafeAreaView, ScrollView, Text, TouchableOpacity, View } from "react-native";
    import { styles } from "./styles";
    
    interface VerificationResultsModalProps {
      visible: boolean;
      onClose: () => void;
      verificationResults: MobileCredentialResponse | null;
    }
    
    export function VerificationResultsModal({ visible, onClose, verificationResults }: VerificationResultsModalProps) {
      if (!visible || !verificationResults) return null;
    
      // mDoc claims can have various types (string, number, date, array, object, etc.).
      // Arrays and objects are serialized to JSON; all other types use String conversion.
      function renderClaimValue(claim: any): string {
        if (!claim) return "undefined";
        if (claim.type === "array" || claim.type === "object") {
          return JSON.stringify(claim.value);
        }
        return String(claim.value);
      }
    
      return (

                      {/* Claim errors: claims that were requested but not provided. */}
                      {credential.claimErrors && Object.keys(credential.claimErrors).length > 0 && (

                                <View key={`error-${namespace}-${elementId}`} style={styles.listItem}>
                                  <Text>
                                    {namespace}.{elementId}:
                                  </Text>
                                  <Text style={styles.errorColor}>Error: {errorCode}</Text>
                                </View>
                              ))
                            )}
                          </View>
                        </View>
                      )}
                    </View>
                  ))}
                </View>
              ) : (
                <View style={styles.card}>
                  <Text style={[styles.centeredText, styles.grayColor]}>No data available</Text>
                </View>
              )}
            </ScrollView>
          </SafeAreaView>
        </Modal>
      );
    }

    This component reads each MobileCredentialPresentation from the MobileCredentialResponse and renders the docType, the overall verification result, the received claims grouped by namespace, and any claim errors.

  3. Back in App.tsx, uncomment the VerificationResultsModal import at the top of the file:

    App.tsx
    import { VerificationResultsModal } from "./VerificationResultsModal";
  4. Add the following code under the {/* Step 4.3: Display the verification results */} comment to render the modal when results are available:

    App.tsx
          <VerificationResultsModal
            visible={showVerificationResults}
            onClose={() => setShowVerificationResults(false)}
            verificationResults={verificationResults}
          />

Test the end-to-end workflow

  1. Run the app.
  2. Select the Request credentials button.
    You should be redirected to a compliant wallet application, where you will see the verification request details and choose what mDoc to present for verification.
  3. Use the wallet application to present the requested mDoc.
    You will be redirected back to the verifier application where you will see the verification results.

You should see a result similar to the following:

The React Native app follows the same end-to-end flow as the iOS and Android apps shown above: the verifier app starts a presentation session, redirects to a compliant wallet, and displays the verification results returned by the MATTR VII tenant once the user consents to share the requested information.

  1. The verifier app starts a presentation session and gets redirected.
  2. The user is redirected to a compliant wallet application.
  3. The user provides their consent to share the requested information.
  4. The wallet application sends the response back to the MATTR VII tenant.
  5. The MATTR VII tenant redirects the user back to the verifier app with the verification results.
  6. The verifier app fetches the result and presents the result to user.

Congratulations! Your verifier application can now verify mDocs presented from a compliant wallet installed on the same mobile device.

Summary

You have just used the mDocs Mobile Verifier SDKs to build an application that can verify an mDoc presented from a compliant wallet on the same device using a remote presentation workflow as per OID4VP and ISO/IEC 18013-7 Annex B.

This was achieved by building the following capabilities into the application:

  • Initialize the SDK, so that your application can use its functions and classes.
  • Request an mDoc for verification from a compliant wallet application.
  • Display verification results in your verifier application.

What's next?

  • You can check out the SDKs reference documentation to learn more about available functions and classes:
