Local Authentication Framework provides canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics and evaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics for Touch ID.

evaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics is used to check if the user could authenticate successfully or not. This would only check if the user is authenticated with any of the users enrolled with Touch ID on the device. What you do not get is the actual data of the finger print scan - that is the restriction as far as I can see as a developer.

In terms of app store submission, the documentation clearly mentions

"The localized string you present to the user should provide a clear reason for why you are requesting they authenticate themselves, and what action you will be taking based on that authentication."
