📢 Type of change
📜 Description
Allow Class 2 biometric clients as noted in the Android CDD to also use the biometric authentication service. Fixes #1044.
💡 Motivation and Context
A ton of devices ship with weak biometrics and some like Samsung manage to break their strong auth to the point its no better than weak ones. Since
BIOMETRIC_WEAKis a superset ofBIOMETRIC_STRONGwe can instead useBIOMETRIC_WEAKand also be able to useBIOMETRIC_STRONGon devices where its available.💚 How did you test it?
API 29 devices no longer crash.
