We are waiting for a last few processes before releasing beta01. It should be sometime this month

my apologies for duplicate comments, but it seems more appropriate here...

awesome thanks!
1) Is there a best practice or material design recommendation for user-visible wording in the settings?
"Allow Biometrics" is not very friendly sounding,but continuing with "Enable Fingerprint" wording may not be wise if q4 brings us phones with Face unlock but no fingerprint scanner...
https://material.io/design/platform-guidance/android-fingerprint.html#enrollment
2) Will the beta have canAuthorize similar to the Q version to handle whether to allow this to be shown?
3) And, to combine both those questions - would it be worth consider returning an array of what types of biometrics are supported, or even - long term - a stylable settings "slice" or both?
Thanks

Alok, do you know who owns the material design guidelines for biometrics?
To answer question 2 and 3 below,
2) Yes, beta01 was just released today, and all of the Q APIs are available on the androidx library as well, see here:
https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/biometric/BiometricManager
https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/biometric/BiometricPrompt
3) That's something we can consider, though we'd have to figure out how to make it work consistently across all of the ecosystem

Also, with regards to the ask for design guidelines, can we test Face ID based biometric dialog? Is there an emulator setting for it in the works, or we need to wait for the Pixel 4 to be released before we can test anything other than fingerprint?

Forked comment #3 to b/140497517 and comment #5 to b/140498432 . Closing this bug now that the original issue has been addressed.
Description
I was wondering if there is a timeline on when the biometric library will be released or at least beta version released.
Would love to transition to using this library, but it is still in alpha.
I'm surprised it's not being updated given the upcoming releases of new devices that can benefit from it.
