Disabling ReCaptcha with Phone Aunthentication

[Leotheluck]

Hello everyone,

I have an application which features a phone number login with a code using Firebase Auth, however on iOS devices I am getting a Captcha window interrupting the user flow and that we cannot let in the application :/ I've been struggling for days to find any correct solution and the only thing working I've got to so far is disabling for testing, which I guess is not a correct solution to use.

This is how my Phone auth is currently done:

const signUp = async () => {
        try {
            await firebase.appCheck().activate('ignored', false)
            if (phone === 'test number') {
                auth().settings.appVerificationDisabledForTesting = true   
            }
            const confirmation = await auth().signInWithPhoneNumber(phone)
            setConfirm(confirmation)
        } [...]
}



const confirmCode = async () => {
    try {
        await confirm.confirm(code)
        await UserTracking.logEvent('Confirm Code')
        console.log('confirmed')
        Navigation.replace('Landing')
    }
    [...]
    }

Any help or working tutorial on how to disable ReCaptcha for iOS Phone Auth with React Native would be VERY much appreciated 🙏

Sorry for disturbing and I wish you all a very good day,

I believe reCaptcha is automatically put in the flow by firebase-ios-sdk when the cannot be verified as coming from your app

The verification is in the form of APNS sent to the app in the background.

So, the app is probably not configured for APNS (or cannot receive them, like the Simulator). This is probably your root cause: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ios/phone-auth#enable-app-verification

I did not get any log concerning APNS, what could it be due to ?

[mikehardy]

some project configuration, like missing entitlement for background notifications or similar perhaps. There is a fair bit of config to do get an app set up to receive APNS - https://rnfirebase.io/messaging/usage/ios-setup

Have you found a solution for this?

[AleshkovDenis]

you need to add correct sha in firebase (you can find it in google play console if your app was uploaded)

@ayush-goyal @Leotheluck
Recaptcha will be automatically get disable once you added the correct SHA keys from google play console to firebase
it will automatically it will stop the recaptcha verification
