React Native Fingerprint Scanner is a React Native library for authenticating users with Fingerprint (TouchID).
The usage of the TouchID is based on a framework, named Local Authentication.
It provides a Default View that prompts the user to place a finger to the iPhone’s button for scanning.
4.0.0 Prefers the new native Android BiometricPrompt lib on any Android >= v23 (M) 4.0.0 also DEPRECATES support for the legacy library that provides support for Samsung & MeiZu phones
3.0.2 and below: Using an expandable Android Fingerprint API library, which combines Samsung and MeiZu's official Fingerprint API.
Samsung and MeiZu's Fingerprint SDK supports most devices which system versions less than Android 6.0.
$ npm install react-native-fingerprint-scanner --save
or
$ yarn add react-native-fingerprint-scanner
For RN >= 0.60
$ cd ios && pod install
For RN < 0.60, use react-native link to add the library to your project:
$ react-native link react-native-fingerprint-scanner

Add the following permissions to their respective files:
In your AndroidManifest.xml
:
API level 28+ (Uses Android native BiometricPrompt) (Reference)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC" />
API level 23-28 (Uses Android native FingerprintCompat) Reference)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
// DEPRECATED in 4.0.0 API level <23 (Uses device-specific native fingerprinting, if available - Samsung & MeiZu only) Reference)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
In your Info.plist
:
<key>NSFaceIDUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) requires FaceID access to allows you quick and secure access.</string>
-
Make sure the following versions are all correct in
android/app/build.gradle
// API v29 enables FaceId android { compileSdkVersion 29 buildToolsVersion "29.0.2" ... defaultConfig { targetSdkVersion 29
-
Add necessary rules to
android/app/proguard-rules.pro
if you are using proguard:# MeiZu Fingerprint // DEPRECATED in 4.0.0 -keep class com.fingerprints.service.** { *; } -dontwarn com.fingerprints.service.** # Samsung Fingerprint // DEPRECATED in 4.0.0 -keep class com.samsung.android.sdk.** { *; } -dontwarn com.samsung.android.sdk.**
- For Gradle < 3 you MUST install react-native-fingerprint-scanner at version <= 2.5.0
- For RN >= 0.57 and/or Gradle >= 3 you MUST install react-native-fingerprint-scanner at version >= 2.6.0
- For RN >= 0.60 you MUST install react-native-fingerprint-scanner at version >= 3.0.0
- For Android native Face Unlock, MUST use >= 4.0.0

AuthenticationProcessFailed | 'Sensor was unable to process the image. Please try again |
UserCancel | Authentication was canceled by the user - e.g. the user tapped Cancel in the dialog |
UserFallback | Authentication was canceled because the user tapped the fallback button (Enter Password) |
SystemCancel | Authentication was canceled by system - e.g. if another application came to foreground while the authentication dialog was up |
PasscodeNotSet | Authentication could not start because the passcode is not set on the device |
DeviceLocked | Authentication was not successful, the device currently in a lockout of 30 seconds |
DeviceLockedPermanent | Authentication was not successful, device must be unlocked via password |
