On iOS, you can check the available biometric type (Face ID or Touch ID):

IOSBiometricType iosBiometricType = await SimpleBiometric.getIOSBiometricType();

// Face ID is available
} else if (iosBiometricType == IOSBiometricType.touchId) {
// Touch ID is available
}

Authenticate Using Biometric #
To authenticate using biometric, call the showBiometricPrompt method with optional customization
parameters:
try{

BiometricStatusResult? result = await SimpleBiometric.showBiometricPrompt(
title: 'Biometric Authentication',
description: 'Authenticate using your biometric credential',
cancelText: 'Cancel',
);

switch (result) {
case BiometricStatusResult.authSuccess:
log('Authentication successful');
break;
case BiometricStatusResult.noBiometrics:
log('No biometrics available');
break;
case BiometricStatusResult.noHardware:
log('Biometric hardware not available');
break;
case BiometricStatusResult.authFailed:
log('Authentication failed');
break;
case BiometricStatusResult.biometricLockout:
// (iOS does not distinguish between temporary and permanent lockout; it only returns this status. Android only displays this message once and then shows "No biometrics available.")
log('Biometric lockout');
break;
case BiometricStatusResult.biometricLockoutPermanent:
// (Android only displays this message once and then shows "No biometrics available." iOS does not return this status.)
log('Biometric lockout permanent');
break;
default:
if (Platform.isIOS && _biometricType.isNotEmpty) {
log('Authentication config unavailable');
_showConfigBiometricDialog();
}
break;
}
} catch (e) {
