Firebase-js-sdk: FR: Ability to contribute to the Auth module

[barakd]

It seems that currently, it is not possible to contribute to the Auth module.
Unless I missed something in my findings, as can be seen at auth.build.js.
The whole of Auth module is already checked in in a post build file.
Thus creating PRs to improve this module is impossible at the moment.
The Auth module is one of the greatest features of Firebase and It a shame that the community can't contribute to improve this important piece of Firebase.
My request is simply to allow a way to contribute to the original pre-built file.
Would very appreciate your feedback on this matter,
Thanks!

Hey @barakd thanks for your interest in contributing to the SDK! We are working on open sourcing the Auth module, so stay tuned to future updates.

any updates on this @bojeil-google? the source code would alleviate some pressure on the support, where documentation is kinda scarce.

my use-case is implementing a react-native js only solution to the following methods:
auth.signInWithPhoneNumber/user.reauthenticateWithPhoneNumber/user.linkWithPhoneNumber
using a WebView, to handle captcha, but it's not clear how to pass an anonymous logged in user from the react-native js side to the WebView.

(with the source code, i would navigate my way through it to find a solution instead of cluttering the support channels with more questions)

Hey @leonardodino, open sourcing is in the works.
By the way, do not use webviews. They are insecure. Google sign-in for example no longer works in an embedded webview. You need to use an SFSafariViewController for iOS or Chrome custom tab for android.
