How can I Enroll Touch ID in Simulator from the command line?

cucumber, frank, ios, xcode

Solution

xcrun simctl spawn 'iPhone X' notifyutil -s com.apple.BiometricKit.enrollmentChanged '1' && xcrun simctl spawn 'iPhone X' notifyutil -p com.apple.BiometricKit.enrollmentChanged

This will enroll fingerprint. Code taken from here

Edit: You can use this for finger touch:

xcrun simctl spawn 'iPhone X' notifyutil -p com.apple.BiometricKit_Sim.fingerTouch.match
xcrun simctl spawn 'iPhone X' notifyutil -p com.apple.BiometricKit_Sim.fingerTouch.nomatch

Problem

I want to enroll Touch ID in the iOS Simulator from the command line so I can run some automated UI feature tests around authorization. I've tried a few things that didn't work: - `xcrun simctl` doesn't have a Touch ID option - an AppleScript to control the menu didn't work because `osascript` doesn't have accessibility permissions (and I don't like this invasive workaround) - I tried editing the simulator's plist before launch but couldn't find an appropriate key value pair If it matters, I'm using Frank and Cucumber for the tests.
