As of now, this issue is for broader discussion that should end in a more concrete task (based on discussion with @petrdvorak).

We commonly support our customers with questions about Android biometrics availability, which is fairly documented, but it's still a common issue.

Based on the feedback, the API could be further simplified. We could

  • add new API alá canSignNextRequestWithBiometrics that would wrap both system-level and PA level check
  • 1 more detail API with several properties (pseudocode):
class BiometricsStatus {
   // practically biometricsFactorPresentForSigning && sensorAvailableOnSytemLevel
   var canSignNextRequestWithBiometrics: Boolean

   var biometricsFactorPresentForSigning: Boolean
   var sensorAvailableOnSytemLevel: Boolean

   // more details about the system sensor
   var sensorDetailStatus: BiometricsSensorStatus // values like notEnrolled, notAvailable, ...
}
