In September 2013, Apple unveiled the latest iPhone with a range of hardware improvements.

The Local Authentication framework provides methods to prompt a user
to authenticate. You could use this as a login for your app or use it
just to protect sensitive data within an app. In this tutorial, I will
explain the options available to you, what data you can get from the

This tutorial requires
Xcode 6 to create the project and you’ll need a device with Touch ID to
test the sample app that we'll create.
