Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

When our app is opened, we use "requireLocalAuthentication" to unlock it. Our access token lasts for 10 minutes, after which, the token is refreshed. We would like this action to happen silently. Is there a way to achieve this currently?

If we can do it or will we can

@felipesuazo Can you elaborate on what you mean silently here?

Because we do refresh the access token silently when you call getCredentials

[felipesuazo]

@poovamraj I mean that we use requireLocalAuthentication to ask for biometrics. When we refresh tokens we have to ask again for biometrics.

This feature is not currently available. We have to implement this in our underlying Android and Swift SDK for it to work here as well. Let me raise this with our product team and get back to you.

[poovamraj]

@felipesuazo We already track this as SDK-3998 internally. I have notified the PM about it. We can update here when we go ahead with the implementation but we have no solid timeline. Until then we will close this issue. Please feel free to comment here and we can reopen it.

@vlpopovda We are improving our backlog items. We would be happy to revisit this feature if its still required. Happy to hear more use cases too.
