Win32 Biometric Framework with camera - winapi

I was about to purchase a Windows-Hello compatible camera to use the "WINBIO_TYPE_FACIAL_FEATURES" found here. I successfully use the Biometric Framework for WINBIO_TYPE_FINGERPRINT.
However, in WinBioOpenSession it says that only the fingerprint is currently supported.
If this is true, how Windows hello uses the framework to login with an IR camera ? with some internal-only API?
Can anyone that owns such a camera verify that the biometric framework works or not?

Windows Hello Identify configured sign in type (Hello Face/Hello Fingerprint)-UWP

I want to implement Biometric access to my UWP app and want to get which sign-in option is configured by the user(Hello Face/Hello Fingerprint).
Is there any way I can get the user-configured sign-in type?
If not I can go to an option like this.
I can check whether the fingerprint is enabled using
var ucvAvailability = await Windows.Security.Credentials.UI.UserConsentVerifier.CheckAvailabilityAsync();
Is there any way to check if the user has enabled hello Face?
Is there any way I can get the user-configured sign-in type?
No, UWP does not have such APIs that could access the system setting like sign-in options.
Is there any way to check if the user has enabled hello Face?
No, there is no way in UWP to check if the customer enabled Hello face. UWP could only check if the device enables Windows Hello using KeyCredentialManager.IsSupportedAsync(). More information here: Implementing Windows Hello

How to make PowerApps based barcode scanner and Camera Control application work inside MS Teams

I have a canvas application that uses two media inputs:
BardCode Scanner
Camera Control
The canvas application works perfectly in PowerApps own application.
But when I publish the application inside Teams environment both the functionalities are not working. It shows the message below: and the learn more link takes me to its limitation page document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/control-limitations
Is there any way around to get those functionality running in the Teams environment?
Moreover, I have a separate angular application which uses MS API to Integrate QR or barcode scanner capability. The application works fine in MS Teams ios and android app.
So, Is there a way I could calibrate my barcode scanner angular app with PowerApps?
In order for a tab to access devices ( such a the camera or barcode scanner) you need to add this to your Teams manifest.
I'm assuming you did already add these capabilities
All tabs of any 3rp party Teams App always use the web view to render the Tabs.
the Tab you created using a Canvas App renders in the (mobile) web browser
PowerApps Barcode component is currently not working in mobile browsers ( per your link)
it is possible to create custom components for canvas apps using the PCF framework
however I'm not sure if this will allow you to solve this issue, but it's worth a try.
perhaps start first by adding an existing PCF component from the pcf gallery
to validate the embedding chain:
Teams App [ Power App [ PCF [ bar code reader]]]

Can we send a notification to phones enrolled on the Android Management API solution (google)

I have enrolled a phone via google solutions (Android Management API: https://developers.google.com/android/management/reference/rest/v1/enterprises.policies). This one is correctly enrolled and all works correctly.
My question is very simple: Can we send an Android notification to this phone just by using google api ?
I have searched a lot on google and it doesn't seem to be implemented. Do you know if this will be implemented soon or never?
If we can't go through google api (Android Management API), what would be the most efficient way to notify a phone?
Thank you,
Sincerely.
Adrien.
Unfortunately, AMAPI does not have a feature for sending notifications to the device using the cloud DPC. You will have to implement notifications in a companion app to support the desired functionality.

custom keyboard in iOS 8 access

is a custom keyboard in iOS 8 able to get access to the iPhone camera ??
because i heard that it can't get access to the microphone
No, you cannot.
As Apple documentation states:
Because of its focused role in the system, an app extension is ineligible to participate in certain activities. An app extension cannot:
Access a sharedApplication object, and so cannot use any of the
methods on that object
Use any API marked in header files with the NS_EXTENSION_UNAVAILABLE macro, or similar unavailability macro, or any API in an unavailable framework.
Access the camera or microphone on an iOS device
Perform long-running background tasks
Receive data using AirDrop
