Seems to still be broken on API 29...

I didn't understand solution can anyone be more specific?

It's fixed in the app, there's no solution to be sought. I thought you asked from a user perspective, my apologies. The fix in the app was to first allow biometrics again which I had accidentally switched to be device credentials only, then to allow weak biometrics which are present on older devices that lack the secure hardware components for strong biometrics.
