allowTouchIdEnroll capability is not setting Touch ID Enroll in Simulator

[arpitkup]

The problem

I am trying to automate touch ID feature introduced in our app for one for the payment types. I set allowTouchIdEntroll to true using "capability.SetCapability("allowTouchIdEnroll", true);" When I run the test, the simulator and the app starts without Touch Id enabled.

I am using xCode version 11.3.1, Appium V 1.16.0, Appium.WebDriver 3.0.2 & C# programming.

I use terminal to launch appium and it is already been added in Accessibility under System Preferences.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: Appium v1.16.0
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): NA
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium:NA
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe):10.16.0
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 13.3
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

Details

If necessary, describe the problem you have been experiencing in more detail.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

      capability = new DesiredCapabilities();           
        capability.SetCapability("platformName", platformName);
        capability.SetCapability("platformVersion", platformVersion);
        capability.SetCapability("deviceName", deviceName);
        capability.SetCapability("allowTouchIdEnroll", true);
        capability.SetCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
        capability.SetCapability("useNewWDA", true);
        capability.SetCapability("startIWDP", true);
        capability.SetCapability("app", app);
        capability.SetCapability("forceMjsonwp", true);

       driver = new IOSDriver<IOSElement>(new Uri(ServerUrl()), capability, 
       TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180));

[BaseDriver] The following capabilities were provided, but are not recognized by Appium:
[BaseDriver] allowTouchIdEnroll
[BaseDriver] forceMjsonwp

Where it is stated that such capability exists?
Currently the only way to enroll TouchId is to call the mobile: enrollBiometric API.

Hi @mykola-mokhnach I was referring to http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/device/simulator/touch-id/

[mykola-mokhnach]

Then it must be a documentation issue

[arpitkup]

Thanks @mykola-mokhnach. I will try out mobile: enrollBiometric API.

Where in the documentation would this need to be updated? Happy to make a contribution and update it. @mykola-mokhnach

Thanks very much!

https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/commands-yml/commands/device/simulator/toggle-touch-id-enrollment.yml is http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/device/simulator/touch-id/

https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver#mobile-enrollbiometric is mobile: enrollBiometric

Closed as resolved. Thanks @Andrewngabriel
