Overview
A majority of mobile devices today support Biometric hardware sensors to authenticate the device owner’s identity. Pcloudy enables you to test the Authentication features such as Touch ID/Face ID on the android devices connected on the Pcloudy platform.
Simply connect to a device on the platform and once the device is connected, the user can inject a passing or failing Touch ID or face ID, depending on the device model.
Pre-requisites:
- App should stay in the foreground during testing
- The application must be "instrumented" at time of installation on device.
Injecting a fingerprint or face ID manually
- Connect any android device and click on “Start” in the Logs tab to start the logs.
- In the Quick Actions section, click on "Install" and install the instrumented application on the connected device. Make sure that the app under test stays in the foreground.
- Once the Instrumented app is running and waiting on the biometric authentication screen, click on “Touch ID” on the right panel and process on the mobile device screen to authenticate.
- In the Touch ID option, do one of the following:
