ResearchKit/ResearchKit
Aug 2016 - Aug 2016
ResearchKit is an open source software framework that makes it easy to create apps for medical research or for other research projects.
Role in this project:Mobile Developer (iOS)
Mobile Developer (iOS)Contributions:5 commits, 1 PR, 6 comments in 6 days
Contributions summary:Gregory primarily focused on enhancing the functionality of the ResearchKit iOS framework, specifically concerning the handling of TouchID and passcode security features. They added and modified code related to the `ORKPasscodeStepViewController` to include delegate calls for touchID authentication, added a new boolean property `touchIdEnabled`, and updated the `ORKPasscodeResult` object to include handling of the `touchIdEnabled` property in encoding, decoding, copying, and description methods. Furthermore, the user provided an example implementation to demonstrate how to retrieve passcode information in the delegate.
