AndroidX BiometricPrompt about androidx

[smstuebe]

Yes,
But the 1.0.0 biometrics depends on 1.1.0 annotation, appcompat, core, fragment. So I think at least these have to be updated, or?

Ahh I see. They are in the json. But not yet published to nuget 🤔
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment

@moljac will they (the dependencies) be pushed to nuget soonish?

@moljac thanks for the first preview and the releasing the 1.1.0 packages. I'll test it asap :)

Issue xamarin/AndroidSupportComponents#115 mentioned a particular interest in the same Biometric package :)

@MatFillion
Biometric is still in preview (1.0.0-rc01). We are catching up with bindings, but still we do not bind previews.

Now that the Pixel 4 device is in the user's hands, and it does feature Face Unlock only, it becomes more important for us to support the BiometricPrompt.

FYI : androidx biometric 1.0.0 has been released a few days ago

@tranb3r
Thanks for the info!
Already added 8-), but not released.

@moljac I updated it to 1.0.0 in my own binding. I think all the other androidx libs have to be updated to 1.1.0 (see dependencies https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.biometric/biometric/1.0.0)

@moljac
I got positive feedback from the users that tried the alpha version of the plugin (smstuebe/xamarin-fingerprint#151).
I discovered the same issue like with my own binding. But I'm not sure if this is related to the binding or if it's a bug in the google lib or if it is a usage problem.
After successful auth, you can't open the dialog again until you invalidate the owning activity. this is something I wanted to investigate further when I have time. If you want to reproduce ist, you can check out: https://github.com/smstuebe/xamarin-fingerprint and try the demo app.

@smstuebe

1. Please open that issue here (the one in your repo)
2. I will add your demo to my samples collection and try out (I have several to test)

Führt/Pfia Di!

[moljac]

Closing this one. I have very little time right now for testing this.

If issue persists please open new issue (WITH minimal repro sample Android only)
