expo: FaceID expo-local-authentication doesn't work
Minimal reproducible example
https://github.com/TomasSestak/face-id-issue
Summary
When trying to use FaceID - it always returns “FaceID is available but has not been configured. To enable FaceID, provide NSFaceIDUsageDescription.”
I tried both using
"plugins": [ [ "expo-local-authentication", { "faceIDPermission": "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to use Face ID." } ] ],
and
ios.infoPlist.NSFaceIDUsageDescription but with the same result

Hi !
The problem has been fixed but has not been published yet from what I’ve seen. Here is the fix : https://github.com/expo/expo/commit/5a23fbd5c411cbc28adb8582617d1c41873a05e3
Any plan to publish it ?
@brentvatne its a blocker for all people use iOS FACE ID auth (with Expo 48), and the fix seems ready as @a-leblond mentioned, could you help publish it?
I have published the fix from https://github.com/expo/expo/commit/5a23fbd5c411cbc28adb8582617d1c41873a05e3 to the latest version used by sdk-48:
expo-local-authentication@~13.3.0apologies for the delay on this
Having the same issue on a bare RN project, reverting to 13.0.2 temporarily fixed the issue
Confirmed that the issue is resolved, thank you @brentvatne !
I am also waiting for updates, since my app is on hold because of the glitch
Any update on this problem > ?
Any ETA on the publish?
Are there plans to support FaceID on the expo go app? That seems silly to not since that’s usually how we can test locally before pushing to a dev or prod environment.
hi there! faceid is indeed is not supported in expo go. we’ll update the documentation accordingly. sorry for the confusion!
Is there a way to test this via expo go or is this planned? I see this is closed and I see mentioned that it is not supported, but that feels like a gap.
With debug build Face ID doesn’t work. You need to run prebuild and after android and iOS folders appeared you will be able to test it. Another suggestion it’s test local build with Touch ID, it works as expected. Good luck
did you get a solution?
Thanks for your response. What I found out:
fix it, please 🥲
can confirm - and thank you
