Error displaying local biometric prompt on Sumsung #58

Closed Bardiamist closed 2 years ago

Bardiamist commented 4 years ago

Couple Samsung users have

Error displaying local biometric prompt: must have com.samsung.android.bio.face.permission.USE_FACE or android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC permission.

That happens when in Preferred biometric is selected Face recignition.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Seems answer here.

Currently, you can not use Face Biometric in your application to authenticate.

Update: These users can unlock other apps by fingerprint even if in system Preferred biometric is Face recognition.

Can we implement same way?

Also Samsung (Galaxy S8) users have

Unable to pause activity {com.valr.app/com.valr.app.MainActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Must have com.samsung.android.bio.face.permission.USE_FACE or android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC permission.

on home button press when Face recignition preferred.

Make sure you're requesting those permissions it's saying it doesn't have.
