Description
"Android 9 only includes fingerprint integration for BiometricPrompt. However, integrated support for other biometric modalities are forthcoming." - is it forthcoming to Android 9 and above, or to Android 10 and above?
"On devices running P and above, this will show a system-provided authentication prompt, using a device's supported biometric (fingerprint, iris, face, etc)." - we tested this on Galaxy S10, S9, S8, all of which are currently on P and all of which has a system setting for iris / face id, and got a fingerprint dialog only with BiometricPrompt. So again, is iris/face supposed to work on Android 9 with this API? Or is the issue that Samsung's sensors are considered "weak biometrics" so they will never be supported by BiometricPrompt? Is there a strong biometrics device on the market (besides the upcoming Pixel 4) to which face support is coming with BiometricPrompt on Android 9?
