Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    Yeah, so the app never sees it. What are you disagreeing with?

      I just corrected that, can’t I without disagreeing?

        I mean that I don’t know what part of my comment is “not true”. I welcome corrections, I just don’t see what is being corrected here.

          It doesn’t send a yes/no signal it sends the fingerprint to be compared to the stored one

            The app gets either the onAuthenticationSucceeded or onAuthenticationFailed callback. It doesn’t get the fingerprint.

            Edit: I think we are misunderstanding each other, I’m saying that apps never see the fingerprint. The OS does, depending on the device.

              Exactly
