Face ID evaluation process not working properly

I'm trying to get if Face ID or Touch ID succeeded in the function below

func authenticate() -> Bool{

    let context = LAContext()
    var error: NSError?

    guard context.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error) else {
        return false
    }
    var returnValue = false
    let reason = "Face ID authentication"
    context.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, localizedReason: reason) 
    {
        isAuthorized, error in
        guard isAuthorized == true else {
            return print(error)
        }
        returnValue = true
        print("success")
    }
    return returnValue        
}

but even when it succeeds with this code it skips the returnValue = true is passed later which results a false return. why does this happen? and how can I fix this code to make it work like it is suppose to?

the code above is from this link just in case this person was watching, thank you.

Working code of Touch ID & Face ID LocalAuthentication

(swift 4.0 & 5.0+ Code)

Note : Privacy - Face ID Usage Description key add in Info.plist

Use

self.Authenticate { (success) in
     print(success)
}

Local Authentication Function

import LocalAuthentication

func Authenticate(completion: @escaping ((Bool) -> ())){
    
    //Create a context
    let authenticationContext = LAContext()
    var error:NSError?
    
    //Check if device have Biometric sensor
    let isValidSensor : Bool = authenticationContext.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error)
    
    if isValidSensor {
        //Device have BiometricSensor
        //It Supports TouchID
        
        authenticationContext.evaluatePolicy(
            .deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics,
            localizedReason: "Touch / Face ID authentication",
            reply: { [unowned self] (success, error) -> Void in
                
                if(success) {
                    // Touch / Face ID recognized success here
                    completion(true)
                } else {
                    //If not recognized then
                    if let error = error {
                        let strMessage = self.errorMessage(errorCode: error._code)
                        if strMessage != ""{
                            self.showAlertWithTitle(title: "Error", message: strMessage)
                        }
                    }
                    completion(false)
                }
        })
    } else {
        
        let strMessage = self.errorMessage(errorCode: (error?._code)!)
        if strMessage != ""{
            self.showAlertWithTitle(title: "Error", message: strMessage)
        }
    }
    
}

Show alert message

//MARK: Show Alert
func showAlertWithTitle( title:String, message:String ) {
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
    
    let actionOk = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil)
    alert.addAction(actionOk)
    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
