locked / unlock loop

[stuntsman]

Bug description

WebSSH 25.8 on iPadOS 17.3.1 is stuck in an unlock loop. A small dialog appears including "Locked" and an Unlock button. Clicking the button makes the dialog go away for a second then it comes back.

Screenshots

Steps to reproduce

1. Start app
2. Locked dialog appears, click Unlock
3. Dialog goes away for a second. Go to step 2.

Tried but didn't help:

• killing the app (swipe up from bottom for app cards, swipe WebSSH card up to end process)
• changing lock settings under Settings/WebSSH
• disabling FaceID under Settings/WebSSH
• restarting iPad

Hello @stuntsman 👋

Does Face ID is enrolled on the device?

[stuntsman]

Thanks for the tip, I've found that FaceID was disabled:

• a few days earlier I had to disable Passcode on the device temporarily, but then forgot about that
• however disabling Passcode also automatically disabled FaceID (I didn't notice that until now)
• since then WebSSH stuck in an unlock loop
• re-enabling FaceID systemwide solved the issue (iPadOS required setting a passcode too)

Suggestion: the WebSSH unlock dialog could show a message if FaceID and/or passcode is disabled systemwide, as it seems to make unlocking impossible.

Thanks for your strong feedback about your resolution 🙏

I will check if I can retrieve Face ID (full) enrollment from the Apple SDK and so improve WebSSH as well in order to avoid this check loop
