React-native-firebase: Captcha on iOS phone auth signup

[joecaraccio]

Hi Everyone,

I s there a solution to turning off the phone auth captcha that pops up when trying to sign on for iOS. I spent a long time looking, but can't find the way to turn off the captcha system

Hi @joecaraccio, take a look at: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ios/phone-auth#enable-app-verification

reCAPTCHA is used automatically if silent push notifications aren't enabled or aren't possible on a particular device, e.g. a simulator.

For people who are still seeing the captcha after turning on Push Notifications, I also had to turn on the "Remote notifications" Background Mode—you can do so in the Capabilities pane in Xcode.

This should be added to the documentation as well. Most people get confused about why they are not receiving silent push notifications even after enabling APSs for their project. This is the second necessary step to receive Silent Push Notification.
