3.0.0

Re-release of 2.2.0 as a major version change instead of a minor version change.

2.2.0

• iOS
  • Fixed compatability issue with XCode 12
  • Added optional passcode fallback for iOS devices when FaceID or TouchID fails and the device has a passcode set.
  • Added fallbackPromptMessage to simplePrompt. This controls the message that is shown when FaceID or TouchID has failed and the prompt falls back to the device passcode for authentication.
• Android
  • Upgraded androidx.biometric 1.1.0
    • Added allowDeviceCredentials option, for android devices, to isSensorAvailable, createSignature and simplePrompt. This option is only affects devices running API 30 or greater. Devices running API 29 or less cannot support device credentials when performing crypto based authentication. See https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/biometric/BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo.Builder#setAllowedAuthenticators(int)
  • Updated build.gradle file to avoid unnecessary downloads and potential conflicts when the library is included as a module dependency in an application project.
