Creating an App

To create a new app, click the Create App button at the top-right corner and a configuration page opens with several setup options. These settings define how your Skin Analysis app behaves, stores data, and interacts with other environments.

Key Configuration Options

This section defines the foundational setup of your GlamAR Skin Analysis SDK. It determines how your application handles user data, identifies environments, and connects to GlamAR’s backend services. Configuring this section properly ensures that the SDK operates smoothly, adheres to compliance standards, and aligns with your deployment strategy.

The App Details section contains the following configuration options:

App Name

Assign a clear and recognizable name to your application. The name appears in your GlamAR Console and helps differentiate between multiple apps or environments (e.g., Staging vs. Production).

tip

• Use descriptive labels such as SkinScan_Prod or Retail_Demo.
• Avoid special characters or spaces to maintain consistency with API references.

Data Storage

Define how long user data (such as scan images and reports) should be retained.

Options:

Duration	Description
None	No data is stored. Ideal for testing or non-persistent demos.
1 Year	Data retained for one year for analysis continuity.
3 Years	Extended storage period for historical tracking and reporting.

Compliance: All storage durations are GDPR- and HIPAA-compliant. GlamAR encrypts all stored data and provides secure deletion upon request.

Best practices:

• Use None for internal QA or demo environments.
• Use 1 Year or 3 Years for production environments with active users.

note

Note: Ensure data retention aligns with your organization’s privacy policy and regulatory obligations.

Allowed Domains

Whitelist the domains where your GlamAR SDK can be embedded. This feature prevents unauthorized use of your SDK on unverified websites.

Format: Enter full URLs separated by commas.

Example:

https://myshop.com, https://demo.myshop.com

Best practices:

• Always include both staging and production URLs.
• Use HTTPS domains for better security.
• If you encounter a domain access error, verify this list first.

Common Issue:

“SDK fails to load or skin analysis doesn’t start” -- Confirm that your active domain is whitelisted here.

SDK Version

Select the SDK version to determine which build of GlamAR’s SDK your app will run.

Recommendations:

• Always use the latest version (e.g., 2.0.0) for optimal performance.
• Avoid switching between versions frequently unless testing new releases.

note

Note: If switching SDK versions, review the release notes and update your integration code accordingly to prevent compatibility issues.

Algorithm Version

Choose the AI algorithm version for your skin analysis.

Purpose: Ensures your app uses GlamAR’s most accurate and up-to-date detection models.

Best practices:

• Always choose the latest algorithm version unless specific A/B testing requires comparison with older models.
• Keep documentation of which algorithm version is active per environment.

Language Support

Set the display language for your app’s UI elements.

Currently available: English (more languages will be added in future updates).

note

Note: The selected language affects all system-generated UI text such as buttons, labels, and analysis results.

Watermark

Decide whether to display or hide the Powered by GlamAR watermark.

Options:

• Enabled (default): Displays watermark for brand transparency.
• Disabled: Requires a Premium Plan upgrade.

Best practices:

• Keep enabled for free and standard plans.
• Disable only if your business requires white-label integration.

Interface Customization

This section defines how users interact with your GlamAR Skin Analysis SDK before, during, and immediately after their facial scan. It combines two major configuration areas: Face Scan Instructions and App Appearance.

Face Scan Instructions

The Face Scan Instructions section helps you configure the guidance, visuals, and on-screen text that prepare users for their scan. A clear and friendly onboarding experience ensures accurate results and builds confidence in your AI analysis.

Once the settings under App Details are confirmed, click Next to proceed to the Face Scan Instruction section. This section allows you to customize the instructions and visuals displayed to users before they begin the face scanning process.

tip

Face Scan Instructions set the tone for user engagement. Keep instructions brief, easy to understand, and visually aligned with your brand.

• Ensure the header text complements your app branding and aligns with the banner image selected earlier.

Customise loader screen

The Customise loader screen allows you to keep users engaged while the AI generates the skin analysis report. You can personalize this screen with quick tips or skincare facts that appear during the loading process.

Loader facts

The Loader facts feature displays short skincare tips or fun facts while the analysis report is being processed. These facts help maintain user engagement and deliver educational or brand-related insights during the loading phase. You can choose to enable or disable this feature based on your app’s design preferences.

You can define up to four custom facts to be shown randomly or sequentially while the analysis loads:

• Fact 1: The first tip or skincare fact displayed.
  • Example: “Hydrate regularly—water is your skin’s best friend!”
• Fact 2: A second fun fact or insight.
  • Example: “Sunscreen is essential even on cloudy days.”
• Fact 3: Add another helpful skincare tip.
  • Example: “Regular exfoliation can improve skin texture.”
• Fact 4: Final fact or motivational line for users.
  • Example: “A good night’s sleep keeps your skin glowing naturally.”

Best practices:
