[@nativescript/fingerprint-auth] verifyFingerprint() no longer works with N7 and Android

[3rror404]

The previous version the plugin was working on Android <10, but the latest version seems to be broken on Android when using NativeScript 7. Tested on Android 6 and 10.

Calling verifyFingerprint() results in the following error:

Error in fingerprint-auth.verifyFingerprint: Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/security/identity/IdentityCredential;

Example:

fingerprintAuth.available().then(
        function(avail) {
            console.log(avail);
            console.log(`Biometric ID available? ${avail.any}`);  // => true
            console.log(`Touch? ${avail.touch}`);  // => undefined
            console.log(`Face? ${avail.face}`);  // => undefined
            console.log(`Biometrics? ${avail.biometrics}`);  // => true

            if (avail.any) {
                fingerprintAuth.verifyFingerprint(
                    {
                        title: 'Android title', 
                        message: 'Scan your finger',
                        authenticationValidityDuration: 10, 
                        useCustomAndroidUI: false
                    })
                    .then(() => {
                        console.log("Biometric ID OK")
                    })
                    .catch(err => console.log(`Biometric ID NOT OK: ${JSON.stringify(err)}`));
            }
            
        }
    )

Same problem here, tested on Android 8 and 10

nativescript : 8.0.1 plugin version : 8.0.0

[3rror404]

Is there likely to be a fix for this?

[damianocorrado]

Using the previous version (7) should work

[3rror404]

The previous version doesn't work on Android >= 10. Hence the update

[jcassidyav]

The previous version works on Android >=10 it just doesn't support facial req. ( i.e. fingerprint works )

[timoschlueter]

This is still a problem. Plugin version 8.0.0 NS version 8.0.1

[OPADA-Eng]

Any updates on this?

[cornishplace]

We are seeing the same issue on NS 8,1,1, Plugin version 8.0.0. Is there any update on this?

[gyan-nsf]

same here, not working after upgrade from NS7 to NS8 Any update on this ?

Got this error as well on API level < 30. From what I see this is caused when initializing a CryptoObject here: https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/blob/27eb1769107e7caa7216b742cd414a243761a219/packages/fingerprint-auth/index.android.ts#L120

I suspect this is a problem with the NS Android runtime while it tries to find the most suitable constructor override since there are 4 different constructors: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/biometrics/BiometricPrompt.CryptoObject?hl=en#summary It probably tries to instantiate an IdentityCredential and since no such class exists in lower APIs the error is rethrown .

[soscler]

Any update on this ?

[soscler]

@NathanWalker @jcassidyav can you create and publish a new release with the fix you added here https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/pull/212 ? Version 8.1.0 doesn't have this fix yet.

[soscler]

Issue got solved in here https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/tree/main/packages/biometrics

[r0nneberg]

switching plugin from fingerprint-auth to @nativescript/biometrics fixed it for us

[jcassidyav]

Supported via the Biometrics plugin, @nativescript/fingerprint-auth is depreciated.
