Android: Crash on Authentication-Dialog about cordova-plugin-keychain-touch-id

[MoemenMostafa]

I am facing the same issue were the application crashes with exactly the same exception.

In my case the crash happens when the plugin is called while the application is running in the back ground (not active in the foreground). It is happening a lot in my application because I have a timeout that triggers the application to logout the user and display the login screen where the plugin is called there.

In that login page I am using the following code:

 this.keychainTouchId.isAvailable()
      .then( ()=> {
        this.keychainTouchId.verify("PIN", "SmartPass")
          .then ((password) => {
          // some code ...
        });
      });

Thanks @MoemenMostafa ,
