Using TouchID on emulator

Question

I'm trying to use TouchID within my Ionic 2 app. I have an iphone 5c, so I can't test it on real device.

I imported the package :

import { TouchID } from 'ionic-native';

Then, I tested the first function (I already activated touchID in the hardware section of the emulator):

TouchID.isAvailable()
.then(
  res => console.log('TouchID is available!'),
  err => console.error('TouchID is not available', err)
);

Everything works fine. Now what I would like to do, is testing this function :

TouchID.verifyFingerprint('Scan your fingerprint please')
.then(
  res => console.log('Ok', res),
  err => console.error('Error', err)
);

It's possible to test it on emulator ? The emulator can listen to fingerprint action ?

Answer 1

Anyone who is using latest Xcode (version 12x), there is no Hardware menu, it's been replace by 'Feature`. So to enroll the touch id,

1. Open simulator
2. Go to Features -> Touch Id -> Enrolled
