Adding Password does not work on Android API 33

[Rocketeer007]

I have added the Fingerprint Scanner library to my Codename One project using the Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.codenameone</groupId>
    <artifactId>fingerprint-scanner-lib</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.2</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

When calling Fingerprint.addPassword(reason, key, value), the failure callback is triggered, with a very confusing exception.

Searching for other instances of this online, I found a similar issue mentioned here (android/security-samples#86), but with no resolution.

The same application works perfectly on Android API 32

I have made some commits that seem to fix the issue in Git. I need to perform more thorough testing on different android versions before releasing. If all goes well, I can have a release in 7 to 10 days.
But you can build from source and try it out, if you can't wait that long: https://github.com/codenameone/FingerprintScanner

With 8b4e578 it seems to be working well now. Want more time to test on other versions. Will make release next weekend.

Thank you @shannah @shai-almog for your commits about that. I saw that "setUserAuthenticationRequired" have not set on Android API 33 when keypair is generated. Could you please tell me why "setUserAuthenticationRequired" is not working on Android API 33 ? Thank you all.

[Rocketeer007]

Looking at the two commits recently added here, it seems that @shai-almog tried a solution of setUserAuthenticationValidityDurationSeconds(30), and @shannah instead removed setUserAuthenticationRequired(true)

I'm not an Android developer... so I don't really understand the impact of setUserAuthenticationRequired. It would be really helpful if you could explain what this is doing, and why it's a better solution than setting a validity duration for the user authentication...

That said, I tested both solution, and for my use case, setUserAuthenticationRequired(false) seems to work better; user authentication is still required, whereas with the other solution I still got some exceptions.

@shannah Any chance we can get a release that includes this fix?

[Rocketeer007]

@shai-almog @shannah Any chance of this being released in an official version of the FingerprintScanner library?

I have just released this on maven central as version 1.1.3. It is also updated in the Codename One settings if you update that way.
