React-native-firebase: Firebase Phone Auth Captcha

[jcharbo]

Am I correct in my understanding that the react-native-firebase implementation of Firebase phone auth has to use the web captcha? If so, I consider that an really bad user experience for a native app. Would implementing the native firebase auth library bypass this? Are there any plans to do so?
thanks

Hey, no it doesn't require captcha. Check out our docs that explain one of the methods:

https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/auth/phone-auth

Hello! I wrote like it is described in docs, but it requests capcha. So the issue should be reopened

@bintoll it will only use captcha on iOS if you haven't set up the silent notifications as detailed here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ios/phone-auth#start-receiving-silent-notifications

How will I use react-native-firebase in my expo project?
I am getting this error when I include react-native-firebase:

RNFirebase core module was not found natively on Android, ensure you have correctly added the RNFirebase and Firebase Gradle dependencies to your android/app/build.gradle file.

But when I only include "firebase" instead of "react-native-firebase" then it requires captcha which does not make any sense to me to include that in my project.

You don't, I think. Fifth question here. https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/faq/

For anything expo-related, use Expo support channels
