Fixes & Improvements
Credential Offer URL Handling in Wallet API
We resolved an issue where users were unable to receive credential offers in the wallet. The problem stemmed from a discrepancy in property definitions between draft 11 and draft 13 of the OIDC4VC flow, causing the web page to display a blank screen instead of the expected accept/decline options.
Invalid Input Descriptors Parsing with mdoc Credentials
We've resolved an issue where input descriptors were incorrectly parsed by the Wallet, leading to issues when wanting to present mdoc credentials. Shoutout to Hoan Hoang for contributing the fix and making us aware!
Web-wallet IETF SD-JWT VC Presentation Fix
We have resolved an issue where presenting an SD-JWT VC IETF credential with the web-wallet resulted in an error message: "You don't have any credentials matching this presentation definition in your wallet." Now, when you attempt to present credentials of type IETF SD-JWT VC, the credential matching screen correctly displays available credentials.
Enterprise Stack (v0.4.0)
Below are all features available through v0.4.0 of the enterprise stack. Want to learn more about the enterprise stack in general? Check out our intro video.
Features

Issuer API
Support for OpenID4VCI Draft 11 & 13
The Enterprise Issuer API now supports OpenID4VCI Draft 11 and Draft 13, focusing on the PreAuthorized Code Flow. Users can provide an optional standardVersion parameter in the issuance request to specify the required protocol version DRAFT11 or DRAFT13 . If omitted DRAFT13 will be used.
Authorization Code Flow in Issuer API
The Issuer API now supports the authorization code flow using ID_TOKEN and VP_TOKEN as authentication methods for OpenID4VCI Draft 11 and 13. This new feature introduces an authenticationMethod parameter in the /credentials/issue request, allowing for explicit specification of the desired authentication method.
