I'm running Xcode 9 GM with iPhone X in simulator however evaluatePolicy for Face ID keeps failing. Is there a setting I am missing to use this new feature?
- Xcode 9 GM
- Simulator device iPhone X
Hardware > Face ID > Enrolled
- Deployment Target 11.0
Below is the code referenced from docs
let myContext = LAContext()
let myLocalizedReasonString = <#String explaining why app needs authentication#>
var authError: NSError?
if #available(iOS 8.0, macOS 10.12.1, *) {
if myContext.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &authError) {
myContext.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, localizedReason: myLocalizedReasonString) { success, evaluateError in
if success {
// User authenticated successfully, take appropriate action
} else {
// User did not authenticate successfully, look at error and take appropriate action
}
}
} else {
// Could not evaluate policy; look at authError and present an appropriate message to user
}
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
