How to force captcha to show for testing while verifying phone number?

[lucasfronza]

Hi 👋

I've found lots of info about disabling captcha for testing (like using appVerificationDisabledForTesting), but I actually want to force it to happen on a real device (for both Android and iOS), so we can manually test if the flow is working as expected.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks!

I believe the easiest way is to disable background app refresh or test on an emulator or simulator? Those do reCAPTCHA 100% of the time.

There is an API that we haven't wrapped yet that would expose it, if you wanna do a PR 😄 🙏 ?

Ah, this sounds interesting! Will try to get something by the weekend 😬

Fantastic! The Readme in the tests directory is the key document, and it is somewhat easier because I think this is not possible on ios, so it's just one platform? Can follow the example of the code setting the other Auth verify toggle. Cheers

Cool!
