I wasn't able to get the Android Fingerprint request pop-up on "Chrome for Android 69" I wasn't able to get the Android Fingerprint request pop-up on "Chrome for Android 70 (Beta)" I was able to see the fingerprint pop-up on "Chrome for Android 71 (Dev)"

@bdewater I was able to successfully sign in to https://webauthn.herokuapp.com with:

• Android 9
• Chrome Beta 70.0.3538.46
• Phone Fingerprint Sensor via the native Android pop-up

That Chrome version was released few days ago, previous Beta 70 patch version didn't worked for me.

@bdewater Still not working for you?

@brauliomartinezlm Working for you?

[brauliomartinezlm]

Yes. For me it's currently working on:

• Android 8.1.0
• Chrome Beta 70.0.3538.46, Chrome Dev 71.0.3574.0 and Chrome Canary 71.0.3575.0
• Phone Fingerprint Sensor via the native Android pop-up

[grzuy]

Great.

@bdewater Let us know in case not working for you. We can re-open this.

It worked for me - in https://github.com/cedarcode/webauthn-rails-demo-app/pull/33#issuecomment-427591687 I figured out what went wrong.

Cool, thanks for confirming :-)
