Disabling the captcha while authenticating

[frodoe7]

I cannot find a way to disable the captcha

here's the code

    firebase
      .auth()
      .signInWithPhoneNumber(phoneNumber, captchaVerifier)

how to edit this above code to hide / disable the captcha

I found this reference but not sure how to achieve it in RN App

You'll need to test on a real device, as well. The simulator usually captchas, the real device it does not happen to me after setup

@andersonaddo @mikehardy

even if I managed to disable the captcha
it still open a popup with a web view

I don't need this view to be popped up at all

[frodoe7]

I revised Firebase official docs
unfortunately , looks it is not possible to disable the captcha

Hi @frodoe7, see my comment regarding Android SafetyNet. Pretty easy to verify phone number without popup+reCAPTCHA at all on Android #4183 (comment)

I hope it helps! Works perfectly for me.

what about ios @o-vexler ?

I'm wondering how do you implement end-to-end tests that are testing e.g. a login flow for a user, if occasionally the simulator will pop a recaptcha for you to select some boats or bridges?

Hi @frodoe7 , successfully disabled the reCAPTCHA verification (without popup!) using Android SaftyNet:

Just follow the 2 simple steps in the following link and it'll work (Android):
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/phone-auth#enable-app-verification

If a user has a device with Google Play Services installed, and Firebase Authentication can verify the device as legitimate with Android SafetyNet, phone number sign-in can proceed.

Tested on:

• real device
• @react-native-firebase/[email protected]
• @react-native-firebase/[email protected]

You have enabled Android Device Verification from GCP for your project .

@SahilPrabhakar7 yes, I did that. But I have a question will this method gonna work in firebase SDK or not? Since I am not using

• @react-native-firebase/[email protected]
• @react-native-firebase/[email protected]
  this two libraries.

[SahilPrabhakar7]

@cavishek39 for this method to work you have to use these two libraries.I had the same issue and had to installed these two libraries for this method to work.

Okay, thanks @SahilPrabhakar7 for your help.

But please please please use up to date versions before logging any problems 🙏 https://invertase.io/blog/react-native-firebase-versioning - I work really hard in the release notes to leave the exact steps needed to update, and usually it's quite easy
