I am implementing biometric authentication for the application using react-native-fingerprint-scanner
npm, with this npm I am not able to ensure that the device support biometric authentication or not, only for touch id
is working for me.
How can I achieve Face Id
, Passcode
authentication ?
Verified using react-native-touch-id
but it is not working for me.
Is there any way to achieve authentication on both platforms iOS and Android?
Reference:Link
react-native-touch-id
should work for both TouchID and FaceID.
iOS allows the device to fall back to using the passcode, if faceid/touch is not available. this does not mean that if touchid/faceid fails the first few times it will revert to passcode, rather that if the former are not enrolled, then it will use the passcode.
You can check to see if its supported first.
const optionalConfigObject = {
fallbackLabel: 'Show Passcode',
passcodeFallback: true,
}
TouchID.isSupported(optionalConfigObject)
.then(biometryType => {
// Success code
if (biometryType === 'FaceID') {
console.log('FaceID is supported.');
} else {
console.log('TouchID is supported.');
}
})
.catch(error => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
