Description
Fix #2632: This fixes the issue described in #2632 where authentication would fail without prompting for fallback credentials when biometry wasn't available or enrolled on iOS platforms.
Root cause
The authenticate function checked the stored biometric status and failed immediately if unavailable, ignoring fallback logic when
allowDeviceCredential = true
.Proposed solution
Ensure fallback credential is also disabled before failing early due to biometric availability in the iOS module of the plugin.
Additional Notes
I've tested the fix on a physical iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.3 and confirmed that a fallback prompt now appears if biometry is disabled and fallback is allowed.
