I'm using local authentication in my app but I've observed this strange behavior in my app when I change the device's time and date in the settings app and return to my app and press this button, the LAContext()
gives me an error
Misbehaving caller PID:10565 has made too many authentication requests.
The error code is -4 and it is a system cancel error. I don't know why I get this error.
@IBAction func touchIdAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
print("hello there!.. You have clicked the touch ID")
let myContext = LAContext()
let myLocalizedReasonString = "Biometric Authntication testing !! "
var authError: NSError?
if #available(iOS 8.0, macOS 10.12.1, *) {
if myContext.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &authError) {
myContext.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, localizedReason: myLocalizedReasonString) { success, evaluateError in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if success {
// User authenticated successfully, take appropriate action
self.successLabel.text = "Awesome!!... User authenticated successfully"
} else {
// User did not authenticate successfully, look at error and take appropriate action
self.successLabel.text = "Sorry!!... User did not authenticate successfully"
}
}
}
} else {
// Could not evaluate policy; look at authError and present an appropriate message to user
successLabel.text = "Sorry!!.. Could not evaluate policy."
}
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
successLabel.text = "Ooops!!.. This feature is not supported."
}
}
