I mean that I don't know what part of my comment is "not true". I welcome corrections, I just don't see what is being corrected here.
It doesn't send a yes/no signal it sends the fingerprint to be compared to the stored one
https://developer.android.com/identity/sign-in/biometric-auth#display-login-prompt
The app gets either the
onAuthenticationSucceeded
oronAuthenticationFailed
callback. It doesn't get the fingerprint.Edit: I think we are misunderstanding each other, I'm saying that apps never see the fingerprint. The OS does, depending on the device.
