Where to get approved Face ID image/icon

Greetings,

Presently adding Face ID support to my app, which right now only supports Touch ID. Where can one get the Apple approved Face ID PNG image? Need to replace the fingerprint image with the smiley face image when appropriate.


Thanks,


Neal

Sounds like a feature request you might want to submit via the bug reporter.


In the mean time, be prepared for push back during review if they feel stronger about the HIGs than you do 😉

>when appropriate.


What does that mean? Are you planning on putting up a dialog on your own?


The iOS Human Interface Guidelines say this about that:


"In general, avoid offering a setting for opting into biometric authentication within your app. If biometric authentication is enabled at the system level, just assume the user wants to use it. If you implement an app-specific setting, the user may get into a state where biometric authentication appears to be enabled in your app, but it's really disabled systemwide."

Did you ever find one? I'm in the same boat. We have a touch id icon to pop up the dialogue after the user canceled it. I don't really want to make a face id icon, because that seems even worse than just using an "official one"

Hi Walter,

we couldn't find the FaceID image, and Apple is not helping or encouraging developers to use it. So we removed the TouchID fingerprint image and replaced it with the String "Use TouchID" instead. Likewise, when FaceId is detected, we now show the string "Use FaceID". Didn't want to take the chance that the app would be rejected because of this at some point.


Like you, if the user presses "Cancel" on the biometry dialog, we needed a way for the user to get back to it without having to restart the app. It seems pretty standard.



Thanks,


Neal
