LocalAuthentication supports LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithWatch and LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometricsOrWatchis on macOS.

On iOS this isn't available but it would really add practical value as Face ID is often unavailable when wearing masks for covid19 protection

Please make it a priority to bring these policies to iOS as mask wearing will be with us for a while.
