[🐛] Firebase Phone Auth Not Working - (React Native 0.76.8) RNFirebase Version 18.6.1

[Alreadywinner]

Issue

So previously I set up my react native app using Firebase Auth with Email/Password enabled. Later on when I turned on Phone provider as well and deleted Email/Password I am stuck in the same error again and again. The error is :

[Error: [auth/app-not-authorized] This app is not authorized to use Firebase Authentication. Please verify that the correct package name, SHA-1, and SHA-256 are configured in the Firebase Console. [ Invalid app info in play_integrity_token ]]

So as the error says that maybe I entered wrong package name, SHA-1 and SHA-256 keys. Which I am sure I have entered correct. I picked my package name from build.gradle file and SHA-1 and SHA-256 keys were picker from Task :app:signingReportwhose variant was debug. Well all of my variants have the same keys. The command I use was : cd android && ./gradlew signingReport Both keys are entered in the project settings carefully.

At last I have also enabled Play Integrity API from going to google cloud console select my current project that I am working on and then enabled it. Clean the build folder re-run the app and still getting the same error again and again why is that ?

If I change my mobile phone and move from samsung to pixel I get [auth/unknown] error Although the re-captcha open-up and in between it closes and bring me back to the app and shows me the error.

Someone please help me there's something minor I'm missing

Help would be appreciated and stop me from killing myself thanks in advance !!

This is the version I'm using :

"@react-native-firebase/app": "^18.6.1",
"@react-native-firebase/app-check": "^18.6.1",
"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^18.6.1",

I have also enabled firebase Auth Check and created a debug token from firebase console and then encluded it in my command like this :

"android": "FIREBASE_APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=MY_FIREBASE_DEBUG_TOKEN_FROM_CONSOLE && react-native run-android",

I have made sure that spellings are correct and moving on forward I have changed the name or package name of my app in the description for security purposes

@mikehardy I've also encountered this after upgrading to 19, many users complaining that they cannot receive the SMS OTP on Androids.

Probably unrelated with rn-firebase, this must be an upstream issue.

[Alreadywinner]

@efstathiosntonas I also tried to create a new project but still nothing is working. Even the re-captcha is failing as well

[efstathiosntonas]

@Alreadywinner you might want to look into this: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/4973

You should use test phone numbers provided by firebase authentication and not real numbers in debug mode.

more info about test numbers here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/phone-auth#test-with-fictional-phone-numbers

[Alreadywinner]

But what to do with the captcha I mean that should work right ? . And I have tried creating release apk of my app and then tried on real numbers the error was same

Yeah Looks like you facing the same error with expo CLI and I am using React Native CLI same error is in there. Cherry on top is allowing App intergrity is giving an error on Flutter Fire as well I just checked it out so there's something minor that we are missing or this clearly have something to do with Firebase itself

[Alreadywinner]

Hey does someone have something ?

[maciekstosio]

Did you check if the sha fingerprints, you provided in Firebase Console, are in google-services.json? I'm randomly having this issue too, but my SHA is not in google-services.json and I think this might be the main issue. I'm on 18.3 of rn-firebase.

Has anyone fixed this yet? I have upgraded and started getting this issue. SMS is not being sent on iOS and Android either

Nope nothing came up yet

I have validated mmy SHA fingerprints a billion time and yes they are present in google-services.json but still I have no luck. If you were able to solve it then is it possible for you to share your example google-services.json so that I get idea what I'm missing @maciekstosio

[mikehardy]

you should downgrade your firebase as well firebase/auth version to something like 16.0.0 it will now worki fine

This is terrible advice, as you will then have a firebase-ios-sdk that does not have privacy manifests and you will not be able to deploy builds to Apple's App Store

[brunosp-49]

The same problem here, but I'm sure that there is something about the lib, I downgraded and worked, but I want to use it in the last version of course, but there is something in the actual version that is breaking the flow.

[LordofMankid]

Hi! Was struggling with this issue as well. I'm using Expo and using expo-notifications. It seemed to resolve after migrating to FCMv1 which you'll have to do as outlined in this article. Part of the process involves creating a new google-services.json with the generated credentials you make in Firebase and once that was put in, authentication started working. Hope that works for you!

[Vinkko]

I was facing the same issue. I got it to work by fixing the phone number format. I was sending "+1 (123)-456-7890" and reformatting it to +11234567890 fixed the issue. The error message had nothing to do with what was the actual issue.

let phoneNumber = `+1${userPrefs.phoneNumber}`;
phoneNumber = phoneNumber.replace(/[ \-\(\)]/g, '');

const phoneInfoOptions: PhoneMultiFactorEnrollInfoOptions = {
          phoneNumber: phoneNumber,
          session: multiFactorSession,
};

[russellwheatley]

@Alreadywinner - there's a couple of suggestions above if those help.
