Face Unlock Plugins – Android Support Issue
Question

Hi Friend's,

I’m trying to implement face unlock in my OutSystems mobile app. I noticed that the default Face Unlock plugin, as well as other available plugins, seem to only support iOS.

Can anyone confirm if there is currently any plugin that supports Android for face unlock? If not, are there recommended workarounds or approaches to implement this functionality on Android?

Hi @Jensing Samuel,

You can use Touch ID Plugin for this. It supports face id authentication for iOS and Android!

A few weeks ago I did test the plugin and face authentication was working on Android.

Hope this helps you!

Best regards,

Bart

Thanks, Bart!
It’s not working on my side because, starting from Android 10, biometric authentication gives priority to fingerprint recognition over face unlock. So, the face unlock feature isn’t triggered — it only works with fingerprints.
