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

    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.
