Integrate Silent Network Authentication
Available SDKs and integration methods
iOS SDK
Integrate the iOS SDK into your native mobile application.
Android SDK
Integrate the Android SDK into your native mobile application.
React Native
Cross-platform bridge built on the iOS and Android SDKs.
Web SDK
Launch Capture App flows from desktop or mobile browsers.
Device permissions
Silent Network Authentication runs over the device's cellular connection. The SDK manages the data session internally and does not prompt the end user for any runtime permission — your host app declares the required permissions at build time.
The only SNA-specific permission you must add is the Android CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE permission. iOS requires no additional permission or Info.plist entry.
| Platform | Permission | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android | android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE |
Yes (SNA-specific) | Lets the SDK switch the device from Wi-Fi to cellular to run authentication. |
| Android | android.permission.INTERNET |
Yes | Network communication. Already required by the Digital Intelligence SDK. |
| Android | android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Yes | Detects network type and availability. Already required by the Digital Intelligence SDK. |
| iOS | None | — | The SDK manages the cellular data session natively; no Info.plist entry or entitlement is needed. |
| React Native | Android CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE only |
Yes (Android) | The bridge relies on the native SDKs. Add the permission to the Android manifest; iOS needs no additional permission. |
Add the Android permission to your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
📘
Note:
The Digital Intelligence Web (JavaScript) SDK supports SNA from v2.10.0 through theperformSilentNetworkAuthmethod, so no browser permissions apply. Unlike the native SDKs, the Web SDK can't force requests over cellular, so prompt the user to disable Wi-Fi before starting authentication. SNA requires a device with an active SIM and cellular data; devices without a SIM or cellular connectivity can't complete authentication, though the status is still reported for RiskOS™ workflow decisioning.
