Inject biometric data

On an open device, you can inject a passing or failing fingerprint or face ID, depending on the device model. Face ID is available on iPhone X or later and is not currently supported on Android devices. To learn more, including about known limitations, the testing workflow, error messages, device prerequisites, and special device considerations, see Fingerprint injection | Simulate sensor authentication.

Important: For this option to work as expected, the app to be tested must have been installed with sensor instrumentation enabled and stay in the front during testing.

Watch this short video to see how you can inject a fingerprint.

To inject a fingerprint or face ID:
