is it possible to use the touch api as to read in and authenticate fingerprints? i have an idea for a biometric app but i want to make sure the necessary api's are available first.
thanks
No - touch screens and touch pads do not have anywhere near enough resolution for this. You need an optical fingerprint reader.
No, the sensitivity of the touch interface doesn't give you the resolution to see fingerprints.

I am looking for ways to secure both ios/android and guard against Jailbroken/rooted devices,
Can you advise/suggest libraries that you have actually used in
production?
Is Certificate pinning worth doing? Looks like it can be
easily bypassed
Unfortunately there is nothing out of the box in XamarinForms/Essentials
Thanks for any advice
I feel sure this question has already been asked and answered, but I can’t find a link, so apologies if this is a duplicate.
I want to be able to pass the wifi SSID and Password to an IoT device programmatically, but don't want to use WPS. I want to achieve something similar to the Share WiFi password feature on iOS.
no .. for security reasons there is no way to access the wifi password on a ios device.
In android there are several third party unofficial tools which claim to be able to retrieve it, as soon as the device is rooted, and hence it creates also legal and guaranty issues
On their Overview page one of the bullet points under "What it does" is:
Multiple users can collaborate with the same data at the same time
However there's nothing in the documentation to suggest how this can be done, all the real time syncing is done only between devices logged in with the same user. Their own Simplenote app which is built on the platform does allow multi-user collaboration, but this would appear to be using a private API that is not available to normal Simperium clients.
Is there something I've missed? Is it a feature that will be added in the future? If so, when?
We didn't release the collaboration feature yet, but if you'd like to test it, please, mail us and we'll get in touch with you: jorge.perez#automattic.com
Thank you!
Does anyone know of an AIR Native Extension (ANE) that allows you to access the device's notification sound(s)? OR, a method to query if the device is in "silent" or "vibrate" mode?
I've set up Push Notifications, but no sound plays on my (Android) device.
I know I can play my own sounds, but I want to use the native notification sound (the same as an SMS or email alert sound) and I don't want the sound to play if it shouldn't (viz. silent mode / vibrate mode).
I've been looking for hours and there's a "Vibrate ANE," and others looking for the same type of capability, but I haven't found anything usable for native sound notifications.
I believe that iOS automatically will play a notification sound when it receives a push notification (I think), but Android just flashes the "shade title" & shows the app's icon for the notification.
Maybe someone else has stumbled across a solution??? =)
Many Thanks!
Todd =D
I think you might have to be careful attempt to access the built in sounds on iOS.
We definitely could write an extension that played any of the system sounds. However I believe these sounds are copyrighted, and my understanding of the Apple ToS is that your application may get rejected from the AppStore if you use them directly.
This is why things like a notifications extension only use a "default notification" value to access system sounds that are set by the user. These sounds are played on certain system events.
The sounds are all accessed via undocumented IDs: http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/AudioServices
So yeah we’ve been very cautious of writing anything that could put developers in trouble with the AppStore. You have enough problems getting apps through as is. But if you read otherwise let me know.
I have two applications which access camera and mic written in flex.When these two resources had to be used it ask flash player asks for the use of system resource Allow or Deny Is there any way to by pass this.In gmail->settings->chat->view settings it doesnt ask for this confirmation.How to code this
No, it's not possible to bypass this dialog. I couldn't find the gmail feature you were referring to, but I highly doubt that they have some way of working around this security barrier.
