[`LAError.Code.userFallback`](/documentation/LocalAuthentication/LAError-swift.struct/Code/userFallback) The user tapped the fallback button in the authentication dialog, but no fallback is available for the authentication policy. [`LAError.Code.watchNotAvailable`](/documentation/LocalAuthentication/LAError-swift.struct/Code/watchNotAvailable) An attempt to authenticate with Apple Watch failed. ### Supporting Constants [`kLAErrorDomain`](/documentation/LocalAuthentication/kLAErrorDomain) The error domain used by LocalAuthentication.
