touch-id

I am currently working on a mobile application for (Android, ios), which has the following requirement. Please tell me whether I can use the inbuilt finger print reader on latest smart phone, tablet to achieve my requirement. I have a HRM System running on cloud, where I have the employee details, Now i am developing an mobile app for employee time attendance, basically application will work in this following steps. When employee open the app, it will show a finger print login. Employee will tap the finger on the device, assume it has inbuilt fingerprint reader support. The mobile application

Is it possible to cancel the TouchID alert dialog programmatically after the LAContext.evaluatePolicy call? If yes: how? Not every API Apple publishes makes it into the documentation on developer.apple.com (or in Xcode's docs viewer). The API diffs list public APIs, so anything you see there is in the header files (see LocalAuthentication/LAContext.h ) and the Swift interfaces generated from those headers. And anything that's in the headers is a public API, so you're free to call it. Sometimes (but not always) the undocumented APIs have decent header comments explaining how to use them...

I am working on an app which would require Touch ID Authentication, so is there any way i can use Touch ID (fingerprint scanner) in the simulator ? Also, please do share some kind of example code for using LocalAuthentication framework. As of Xcode 7 the Simulator supports 'touchID'. Answer below contains further info. As of the latest beta (6) there is no way to simulate a fingerprint scan on the simulator. To be honest I doubt this will be included even in later betas. You will need to test on device. To use the Authentication framework right now you need: * XCode 6 * iPhone 5s with iOS 8

LAContext has method to check if device can evaluate touch ID and gives error message. Problem is that same error message "LAErrorPasscodeNotSet" is given by system in two cases: 1) If user has Touch ID, but turned it off in settings (iPhone 5s with iOS8) 2) If device doesn't have Touch ID (iPad with iOS8) Q: How to check if device supports Touch ID, but haven't turned it on in settings? Update: Had created ticket to Apple regarding this bug (ID# 18364575) and received answer: " Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following information: If passcode is

I am wondering if this is intended by Apple that these lifecycle methods are called upon using TouchID functionality. Is there any possibility to check if the touchID process is calling these methods (I want to avoid things like a BOOL in app delegate which is set if touchID input is currently shown or not..) br Emmanuel Ay Im guessing the problem you're having is that you have code in applicationWillResignActive and applicationDidBecomeActive that affects the view controller that requests Touch ID-validation and that it sets off a tricky loop. What you need to do is move those calls to
