Android 7.0 not working

[robtoll]

I'm testing on 3 Android devices, none of which have touchID functionality the function "fingerprintAuth.available()" doesnt return anything on a Sony Xperia - L1, Android 7.0 it works fine on a Sony Z3 (Android 6.01) and an HTC Sense (Android 4.4.2) Also works for my iPhone and iPad. Any ideas why Android 7.0 would have problems? Thanks

Perhaps the error is swallowed. Do you have a catch clause, similar to this?

    this.fingerprintAuth.available()
        .then((result: BiometricIDAvailableResult) => {
          console.log("doCheckAvailable result: " + JSON.stringify(result));
        })
        .catch(err => {
          console.log("doCheckAvailable error: " + err);
        });

If so , please run adb logcat with the device attached, and look at the log when you run the available function.

Hmm, yes - this works as a fallback, but I thought it was supposed to return an object that shows the available support - whether it is available or not. It's OK tho - I can use it in this way, I just have to code it a bit differently. Thanks

I was actually interested in the error you caught because indeed that’s not what’s supposed to happen.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood! The error outputs a string "Device doesn't support fingerprint authentication" Thanks for your support Eddy
