Tapping close on the scanning overlay breaks the iOS app

[louisdebaere]

After starting the scan by calling BlinkIDPlugin.scanWithCamera, if the user taps the close button in the top left, on iOS, scanWithCamera will never finish (the promise will never be resolved).
This can cause apps become unreliable or potentially hang in a frozen state indefinitely.

Looking at the source

public func overlayDidTapClose(_ overlayViewController: MBOverlayViewController!) {
        defer {
        	recognizerCollection = nil
            pluginCall = nil
        }

        overlayViewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

On tapping close, the BlinkID overlay is dismissed, but the plugin call never resolved using pluginCall?.resolve(["cancelled":false]), like in overlayViewControllerDidFinishScanning if the scan succeeds.

@louisdebaere, thank you for reporting this. I assume you updated MicorblinkPlugin.swift in your project to include the "resolve" line until we release the fix?

[louisdebaere]

Yes

Hi @anjapenic,
Any updates on this? I see this missed the 5.16 release.

Hi @iOlivier,

We still haven't released the BlinkID 5.16.0. version for Capacitor, but it's planned for release by the end of May. We'll make sure to let you know here once it's out.
