Description
After updating to the latest version, biometric authentication (fingerprint/face unlock) is no longer prompted or functional when opening apps added to the lock list. The application only allows unlocking via PIN, completely ignoring the biometric setting even though it is visibly enabled in the configuration menu.
Environment
App Version: 2.4.3
OS: Android 13
Occurrence: Continuous (100% of the time since the last update)
Steps to Reproduce
Open AppLock and navigate to Settings.
Ensure the "Biometric Authentication" toggle is switched ON (check imagen)
Add any application to the block/lock list.
Open the locked application.
Observe the lock screen behavior.
Expected Behavior
The app should request biometric authentication (fingerprint scan or face unlock) immediately upon opening a locked application, with the PIN option acting as a fallback.
Actual Behavior
The biometric prompt never appears. The system completely bypasses the biometric check and goes straight to the PIN input screen. The feature remains entirely non-functional despite the settings toggle being active.
