Feasibility of Unique Biometric Assignments in an App
Hi everyone, I'm looking into adding unique biometric authentication (fingerprints only) to a mobile app I'm developing. Is it possible to assign and recognize individual biometric data for a unique scan for the app? I'm interested in the technical feasibility, any notable security concerns, and would appreciate any insights or experiences you might have on this topic. Imagine logging into your phone or laptop using your thumbprint, and then, with the same device, accessing a specific app solely with your pinky finger's biometric data. This dual-layer security approach leverages different fingerprints for device and app access, enhancing user-specific authentication Thanks in advance for your help!

XCUITest: Reset authorization status for Biometrics?
Hello everybody. I have a pack of UI tests for the Biometrics authentication. And in the beginning of each test I need there to be no permissions for Biometrics (granted or denied). I found the resetAuthorizationStatus(for:) method that allows resetting everything except Biometrics :( Is there any way I can reset this permission without deleting the whole app in tearDown()?
