Feature Request: Galaxy S9 Compatibility #113

We received a report from a user that fingerprint login isn't available in our app on their S9. I'm guessing this is because the S9 shipped with Android 8.0 and didn't implement Android 6.0 Fingerprint Authentication like it says in the About notes. We would love it if we could get this plugin to work on newer devices.

It's not that it is a newer device, it is the fact that it is a Samsung device and that manufacture has chosen to implement their own proprietary fingerprint API over using the Android implementation. I will not be implementing the Samsung fingerprint API in this plugin. I will leave that to the open source community to contribute that functionality.
