Shak Hossain 2016-03-18 *Here is the exact use case:* - For all the iPhone users who have the Touch ID enable on their phone: - Whenever user launches the App, it should prompt the user for Touch ID. - If the Touch ID authentication fails after 'n' or 3 number of re-tries, we should have the user to enter his device passcode.

Shak Hossain 2016-03-18 *Customer Sample Code:*

   TouchId.authenticate({
   reason : L("touchId.loginMessage"),
   callback : callback
    
   });
   
   //where callback is below function -
    
   function touchAuthCallback(obj) {
   log.trace("[login] >> [touchAuthCallback] >> TouchId callback execution started...");
    
   if (obj.error == undefined) {
   if (obj["success"] === true) {
   log.trace("[login] >> [touchAuthCallback] >> Calling doClick to initiate Login...");
    
   setTimeout(
   function() {
   doClick();
   },
   200);
   }
   } else {
   log.error("[login] >> [touchAuthCallback] >> err:", obj.error);
   $.password.setValue("");
   Alloy.Globals.touchIdOnResume = false ;
   Alloy.Globals.touchIdInAction = false ;
    
   }
   }

Hans Knöchel 2016-03-20 As discussed on Flowdock, I'm pretty sure it's not exposed by iOS (for now). Anyway, if they can provide a native example that does it, we'd be able to solve that easily.
Hans Knöchel 2016-12-28 I got something. More soon.

Hans Knöchel 2016-12-28 Fixed as part of TIMOB-20547. Example:

   // Or: AUTHENTICATION_POLICY_BIOMETRICS for the default behavior
   TiTouchId.setAuthenticationPolicy(TiTouchId.AUTHENTICATION_POLICY_PASSCODE); 
   
   // Check device support and  authenticate like before ...
