Fingerprint.authenticateAsync crashing / no faceid

Greetings Exporians,

I’ve had great success with the Fingerprint api until ecently. Either the 28.0.0 client upgrade and/or my new iphone x (replacement device) is causing problems.

The first symptom was the iphone expo client application crashing (black screen, then return to desktop) when the Fingerprint.authenticateAsync() was called. I upgraded my sdk version to 28.0.0 (and the react-native and the expo in my package.json) - and rebuilt to try again. Now it appears that when Fingerprint.authenticateAsync() is called, I get a white screen prompting for the device passcode - but no FaceID.

Is anyone else experiencing this? The latter can be seen with a brand-new expo project that just shows a button that calls Fingerprint.authenticateAsync().

expo: 28.0.0
react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-28.0.0.tar.gz
app.json[expo.sdkVersion] = 28.0.0

iOS: 11.4
iPhone X

Is anyone else seeing this?

Best,

pete
