[firebase_auth]: Android physical device not receiving sms about flutterfire

[engrpatel21]

Did you also try different devices, and did you find this issue occurring on all of them?

yes i have tried on other devices for android, pixel6, s9, s20. i always get the failed to initialize recaptcha. some times the sms takes up to 20 mins to get sent waiting for the api to return a valid response.

@engrpatel21 Thank you for creating this issue, Can you please try to create a new project with just this functionality and see if the issue also exists?

i will try to get this done asap let you know results, its pretty involved with all the setups to get everything going and test on a brand new project.

According to the 2nd comment in this stack overflow link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74739659/firebase-sms-authentication-is-delayed-or-sometimes-not-received. It could possibly be an issue with the mobile service provider. It might be worth exploring this possibility. Could you let us know where you are testing (i.e., which country)? Additionally, it might be beneficial to get in touch with Firebase support to inquire about the coverage in your area.

im in the usa, ive has this system in production for a year without any issues. its also a factor of the api call return time. there is a huge latency to when i get a response back. but when i look at fire base console under app check and authentication, i can see requests that just came in.

[engrpatel21]

do you need any more info on this? our users are blocked from signing up in production.

i am currently working trying to repoduce the problem in a seperate project. i will let you know the outcome and relevant details

[engrpatel21]

ok so i have made a new project. this is the nature. the signing keys and debug keys are the same as our app. all i did was make a new project because the error im getting is the recaptcha error. and this project reproduces that error.

the way you will know its working is when you send the code and the submit button goes from disabled to enabled because of the loading state

now i have enabled app check with authentication, with keys placed in the firebase console, and being able to monitor the requests in the authentication widget within the appcheck section of firebase.

this is the code

import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:smstest/firebase_options.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  final app = await Firebase.initializeApp(
      options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform);
  FirebaseAuth.instanceFor(app: app);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(


        colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
        useMaterial3: true,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key, required this.title});



  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;
  bool isLoading = false;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {

      _counter++;
    });
  }

  final phoneNumber = TextEditingController();

  void submitPhoneNumber() async {
    setState(() {
      isLoading = true;
    });
    await FirebaseAuth.instance.verifyPhoneNumber(
      phoneNumber: '+1${phoneNumber.text}',
      timeout: const Duration(seconds: 20),
      verificationCompleted: (PhoneAuthCredential credential) {},
      verificationFailed: (FirebaseAuthException e) {
        print(e.code);
        print(e.message);
        print(e.credential);
        if (e.code == 'invalid-phone-number') {}
      },
      codeSent: (String verificationId, int? resendToken) {
        setState(() {
          isLoading = false;
        });
      },
      codeAutoRetrievalTimeout: (String verificationId) {},
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(

        backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,

        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(

        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            const Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            TextField(
              controller: phoneNumber,
            ),
            FilledButton(
                onPressed: isLoading ? null : submitPhoneNumber, child: const Text('Submit')),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ), 
    );
  }
}


this is my app/build.gradle

again this is the error message

I 've noticed that you are using mismatched versions of firebase auth and firebase core, you can use flutterfire install latest to install latest versions.

Can you please try that and see if also the same issue still present ?

[engrpatel21]

there wasn't a command called flutterfire install latest, but there was a command called flutterfire update but it ended up updating to the versions i already have shown you.

an update, i have manually updated firebase_core and firebase_auth manually, then i went in and updated the firebase bom in app/build.gradle along with adding app check and debug tokens on the app check console in firebase. here is the latest code
