Supported Browsers & Recommendations

The VIDA Web SDK officially supports the browser versions listed in the Supported Browsers matrix below. These are the versions VIDA actively tests against and fixes bugs in. Older versions of the same browsers may continue to function in practice but are outside the scope of active testing and support.

The SDK performs runtime capability checks during the process. If the browser does not meet the technical requirements, the SDK surfaces error code 70003 (browser or device doesn't support this functionality) via the onError callback and displays an "Unable to proceed" screen to the end user.

Secure Storage and API Call Recommendations

Server-Side Storage:

• Store the client_id and client_secret securely on your server.

• Do not expose these credentials on the client-side.

Server-to-Server Communication:

• The API call to obtain the bearer token must be made from your server to Vida's server, ensuring secure communication.

Signing Key:

• Vida will provide a signing key along with the client_id and client_secret.

• Store the signing key securely on your server.

2. Retrieve the Signing Key

3. Pass Token and Signing Key to SDK

   • Provide both the bearer token and signing key when initialising the Vida SDK by passing them to the init method.
