Speaking as an App Developer, we cannot touch stuff like that. We're allowed to ask Touch ID to verify things and process the results, but we don't actually get to use the Touch ID system. It's similar to how the shared keychain is used: We can ask iOS to do things, but then must handle any one of many possible answers. We don't actually see your fingerprint in any way.
Now Cydia and 3rd party stuff? I have no clue.
- rimantas 11y agoiOS itself does not see fingerprints, it refers to SE.
- FussyZeus 11y agoWouldn't surprise me if true, iOS as a whole is built in a very modular fashion when it comes to the different components of the OS and developers only get access to what Apple deems us worthy of, hehe. Not that I want access to Touch ID, I much prefer to not have access to that...
