Download the example. Don't make any change and run it. What happens?

It works perfectly fine on Pixel 4XL with face unlock., I didn't test on the 5XL because I already know that it works on that device.

But on a Nexus 6P it fails with the following error

Good morning @Erel,
I've added the line and even though the app actually starts now (one can now see the 'Authenticate' button), when the button is clicked the following error occurs.

I also tried deleting my current Android SDK and download a new one. Once that didn't work either, I restored my Android SDK backup with updates, I'm still getting the exact same error...

Hi, download the updated example, I get this error:
FWIW my SDK sais:
B4A Sdk Manager: 3.71
TempFolder = C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Roaming\ANYWHE~1\BASIC4~1\temp
DataFolder: C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Roaming\B4ASdkManager
SDK version: 6609375
