If Device Supports Touch ID

ios, ios8, objective-c, touch-id

Solution

try this:

- (BOOL)canAuthenticateByTouchId {
    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0")) {
        return [[[LAContext alloc] init] canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics error:nil];
    }
    return NO;
}

or like @rckoenes suggest:

- (BOOL)canAuthenticateByTouchId {
    if ([LAContext class]) {
        return [[[LAContext alloc] init] canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics error:nil];
    }
    return NO;
}

UPDATE

I forgot, check this: How can we programmatically detect which iOS version is device running on? to define `SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO`

Problem

Wondering how I can determine if the device the user has supports the Touch ID API? Hopefully have this as a boolean value. Thanks!
