Cordova plugin to use fingerprint authentication on Android and iOS
This plugin is an attempt to provide a single interface for accessing fingerprint hardware on both Android 6+ and iOS.
Contributors welcome for iOS testing and development
There are some great cordova plugins out there that make use of the fingerprint APIs provided by Android and iOS. But I could not find a project which supports both platforms (correct me if I am wrong). I decided to take their native code and bundle it together in one plugin.
Use with caution at the moment. Still under development..
ngCordova support planned for the future.
iOS Work in Progress, Android Testing in Progress
Android authentication seems to be working fine with the demo app (see below). iOS needs to tested ( lack of Apple hardware). The API is still in a constant stage of change but it will be similar to the implementation by Matthew Wheatley (@mjwheatly).
This is just an simpler implementation of the original plugins. At the moment the API could change every day and the plugin build could crash or have secutity issues. If you use fingerprint authentication in production use the plugins below.

For now refer to my demo app: https://github.com/NiklasMerz/fingerprint-aio-demo
