Hi,

Can you show the way you use the plugin.
How do you you imported it ?.
How did you installed it ?
Did you used :

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-touch-id
$ npm install --save @ionic-native/touch-id

What is the version of the plugin in your package.json ?

Yes i am following the same command to install the plugin and for node module i am using “@5.0.0-beta.14” as normal node module is not working in v4.

Here is version of the plugin in package.json

“@ionic-native/keychain-touch-id”: “^5.0.0-beta.14”,
“@ionic-native/touch-id”: “^5.0.0-beta.14”

Both the plugin touch-id and keychain-touch-id are not working with v4.

Thanks

hi,

i tried to install this plugin on a blank project, the install command come with the 4.15.0 version by default.

I had to change this line “@ionic-native/touch-id”:"^4.15.0" to “@ionic-native/touch-id”:“5.0.0-beta.21”
=> npm install

Then everything work :

import { TouchID } from '@ionic-native/touch-id/ngx';

constructor(private touchId: TouchID) { }

...

this.touchId.isAvailable()
  .then(
    res => console.log('TouchID is available!'),
    err => console.error('TouchID is not available', err)
  );

this.touchId.verifyFingerprint('Scan your fingerprint please')
  .then(
    res => console.log('Ok', res),
    err => console.error('Error', err)
  );

Hi,

I am getting same issue when upgraded from ion3 to ionic4, it is working on few ios devices and failing on 6s and 6 etc.

Some details:
I have installed.
“cordova-plugin-touch-id”: “^3.4.0”,
“@ionic-native/touch-id”: “^5.3.0”,

if (this._platform.is(‘ios’)) {

        this.touchId.isAvailable()
            .then(
                res => {
                    console.log('TouchID is available!')
                    this.touchIdLabel = "TOUCH ID";
                },
                err => {
                    console.error('TouchID is not available', err)
                    this.touchIdLabel = err;
                }
            );

}

It gives error: “Plugin_not_installed”,

It is working for ionic-3.

I also tried with other versions:

“@ionic-native/touch-id”: “^5.17.1”,
“cordova-plugin-touch-id”: “^3.4.0”,
