Phone-Authentication android autoLogin

[alexookah]

I recently switched to this awesome plugin.
I would like to know if it's possible that android auto-logins with phone authentication without users needing to enter the received sms code. Does this work?

Thank you!
There is Auto Fill if that's what you mean.
I have never tried this but maybe this SO answer will help you.
Your message must be formatted correctly for this.

@robingenz @vc-rakesh Do you know if the skipNativeAuth has to be false for the android auto login?

Hey @robingenz can you please deploy this build 1.2.0-dev.4c00b61.1670180888 to npm?

[robingenz]

@vc-rakesh One feature is still missing, then I release the new version. You can track it here: https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-firebase/milestone/9

Hey @robingenz . Sorry to bring this old discussion back.
But do you know if android auto login works with skipNativeAuth: true?
If not maybe it should be clarified somewhere in the docs.

@alexookah I have not tested it but it should work.

Should work in both cases.

@robingenz hey hey, quick question.

We currently have it so SMS logs in on both the native + web layer, which works great when a user enters the verification code manually, but we've run into an edge case where on android it could possibly get auto verified. is it possible to use the following event handler + login on the web layer.

FirebaseAuthentication.addListener('phoneVerificationCompleted', (e) => {
       // login on the web layer here
});

Should work, but I can't say for sure right now as I don't have much time to look.
