This error case appears to be triggered by creating BiometricPrompt immediately before calling authenticate(), rather than recreating the prompt in the Activity's onCreate() (or Fragment's onCreateView()) lifecycle method as intended. That's obviously an easy mistake to make, so I'll work on making sure the documentation is clearer here.

The fact that the activity appears to hang afterward is definitely a bug and will be fixed by aosp/1151594, likely in a 1.0.1 bugfix release. For now, I'm closing this bug as a duplicate of b/143683687.

Correction: b/143091227

Must it be in onCreate?

I'm doing this in onResume instead of onCreate so that the prompt shows up when the user comes back to my app.

commit df08869e2c6f2d066f1caf143cebdb965c1b5a2c

    Fix BiometricPrompt + device credential error case
   
    BiometricPrompt currently has a bug in the following usage scenario:
    1. The prompt is not instantiated in onCreate() or onCreateView()
    2. Device credential auth is enabled with setDeviceCredentialAllowed()
    3. authenticate() is called twice in the same activity/fragment
   
    When this happens, the handler bridge is incorrectly reset before the
    handler activity can be launched, preventing the prompt from being shown
    at all. While this isn't a recommended usage pattern for
    BiometricPrompt at the moment, it still shouldn't cause the prompt to
    get stuck in this state. This commit therefore ensures that the above
    scenario no longer triggers the bug.
   
    Test: Manually, using sample app from b/143097321
    Test: ./gradlew biometric:test
    Test: ./gradlew biometric:connectedAndroidTest
