How do I start monitor for finger prints using BiometricKit framework in ios 10 theos?

Question

I would like to know how to start monitor for finger prints like this tutorial explains but it is out of date so it doesnt work.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to play around with the private BiometricKit framework on a jailbroken device I can't really help...
If you're only interested in leveraging the TouchID functionality though, you only need to use the public LocalAuthentication framework.

Here's a really basic implementation in Objective-C in a pretend MyViewController, subclass of UIViewController (You might eventually want to move the logic out of there):

#import "MyViewController.h"
@import LocalAuthentication;

@interface MyViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) LAContext *localAuthContext;
@end


@implementation MyViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self authenticateWithTouchID]; // Call this whenever TouchID authentication is required.
}

#pragma mark - TouchID Authentication

- (void)authenticateWithTouchID {
    NSError *evaluationError;
    if (![self.localAuthContext canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics error:&evaluationError]) {
        // TODO: Handle error case. (device with no TouchID capability)
        NSLog(@"%@", evaluationError.localizedDescription);
    } else {
        [self.localAuthContext evaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics
                              localizedReason:@"Authenticate using Touch ID"
                                        reply:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {

                                            if (!success) {
                                                // TODO: Handle error case. (failed TouchID authentication)
                                                NSLog(@"%@", error.localizedDescription);
                                            } else {
                                                // TODO: Handle success case.
                                                NSLog(@"TouchID authentication successful.");
                                            }
                                        }];
    }
}

#pragma mark - Lazy Instantiation

- (LAContext *)localAuthContext
{
    if (!_localAuthContext) {
        _localAuthContext = [[LAContext alloc] init];
        _localAuthContext.localizedFallbackTitle = @""; // Hides the "Enter Password" button. Comment out to allow the user to enter his device passcode as a fallback option.
    }
    return _localAuthContext;
}

@end

First make sure that you have a fingerprint set up on your device (Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Fingerprints section).
