Maui.Biometric

Nuget package CI/CD License: MIT

Provides a cross-platform implementation of biometric authentication.
Supports iOS, macOS, Android and Windows.
This repository has been rewritten taking into account the API of the xamarin-fingerprint and Plugin.Maui.Biometric libraries

Supported Platforms

Platform Minimum Version Supported
iOS 12.2+
macOS 15+
Android 5.0 (API 21)
Windows 11 and 10 version 1809+ (build 17763)

Usage

  • Add NuGet package to your project:
<PackageReference Include="Oscore.Maui.Biometric" Version="2.0.0" />
  • iOS - Add NSFaceIDUsageDescription to your Info.plist to describe the reason your app uses Face ID. (see Documentation). Otherwise the App will crash when you start a Face ID authentication on iOS 11.3+.
	<key>NSFaceIDUsageDescription</key>
	<string>This app requires Face ID for secure authentication and to provide a personalized experience.</string>
  • Android - Request the permission in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" android:maxSdkVersion="27" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC" android:minSdkVersion="28" />
  • Add the following to your MauiProgram.cs CreateMauiApp method:
builder
    .UseMauiApp<App>()
+   .UseBiometricAuthentication()
    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
    {
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Sed:nammibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
    });
  • Use through BiometricAuthentication.Current or using IBiometricAuthentication from DI:
// You don't need to check if the device supports biometric authentication, the plugin does it for you
var result = await BiometricAuthentication.Current.AuthenticateAsync(
    new AuthenticationRequest(
        title: "Authenticate",
        reason: "Please authenticate to proceed"));
if (result.IsSuccessful)
{
    // User authenticated
}
