How do I enable fingerprint on Android emulator?

Run your Android emulator and go to Settings->Security & location->Fingerprint. If you have set up your PIN, enter it on your emulator. If you haven't set up your PIN, Android emulator will prompt you to add it at this point. Click Add fingerprint.

I've developed a Plugin for this. It's available on NuGet, too. Feel free, to drop an issue, if you miss something, or found an error.

In general: There are alot of Plugins that abstract platform specific behavior. Before you write something on your own, just google for "<feature> xamarin plugin". It will safe much time.
