An instance of LAContext can't determine biometryType until canEvaluatePolicy has been called

[Chris-Corea]

It seems like your faceIDAvailable function will always fail because you don't call canEvaluatePolicy on the LAContext instance object before checking the biometry type.

Something like this should help:

public func faceIDAvailable() -> Bool {
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            let context = LAContext()
            return (context.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: nil) && LAContext().biometryType == .typeFaceID)
        }
        return false
    }

Here's the apple doc describing the biometryType instance property: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/localauthentication/lacontext/2867583-biometrytype
