isAvailable() succeeds but it returns `false` on Google Pixel 2 (Android 8)

[Muzietto]

I am using plugin version 1.4.0. My test phone is a fresh Google Pixel 2 with Android 8 and SDK level 27. I could not find the specific fingerprint API version, but it could be greater than 6.

The initial call to isAvailable(cbs, cbf) succeeds, but it returns false.

Is this plugin able to support fingerprint API versions >6?

The Android Fingerprint API has not changed since 6.0 to my knowledge. Please report the entire result object. Also check isHardwaredDetected and hasEnrolledFingerprints

console.log("isFingerprintAvailable() result: " + JSON.stringify(result));
if (!result.isAvailable) {
    if (!result.isHardwareDetected) {
        errorMsg = self.translate.instant("fingerprint-helper.errors.hardwareRequired");
    } else if (!result.hasEnrolledFingerprints) {
        errorMsg = self.translate.instant("fingerprint-helper.errors.noFingerprints");
    }
    let alert = self.alertCtrl.create({
        title: self.translate.instant("fingerprint-helper.errors.notAvailable"),
        message: errorMsg,
        buttons: [self.translate.instant("general.ok")]
    );
    alert.present();
}

Perhaps if it is a fresh Google Pixel 2, you have not enrolled any fingerprints yet?

Yes, there we no fingerprints. Gotta check hasEnrolledFingerprints first. Thank you very much.
