please tell me how can I get the verificationId, after onCodeSent method called from firebase, to pass it to the method Firebase.auth.signInWithCredential(authCredential = PhoneAuthProvider().credential("??", "smsCode")) if automatic authorization did not work for some reason?

On the first screen of authorization I call PhoneAuthProvider().verifyPhoneNumber(phone, phoneVerificationProvider). If automatic authorization did not work I need to pass verificationId and smsCode manually to the signInWithCredential, but I cannot find how can I get verificationId

@Daeda88 do we need to expose extra APs for this?

@nbransby I think yes, because the user only has a callback to send the SMS code again. It should look something like this:

override fun onCodeSent(verificationId: String, forceResending: PhoneAuthProvider.ForceResendingToken) {
                verificationProvider.codeSent(**verificationId**) { android.verifyPhoneNumber(phoneNumber, verificationProvider.timeout, verificationProvider.unit, verificationProvider.activity, this, forceResending) }
            }

Iirc, the PhoneVerificationProvider intterface should have a suspend function that returns the verificationId. Implementing the interface allows you to respond. But looking t it now, it probably needs some changes to work properly.

Note that each platform handles verification very differently and as such it difficult to actually unify the behaviour.

override fun onCodeSent(verificationId: String, forceResending: PhoneAuthProvider.ForceResendingToken) { verificationProvider.codeSent(**verificationId**) { android.verifyPhoneNumber(phoneNumber, verificationProvider.timeout, verificationProvider.unit, verificationProvider.activity, this, forceResending) } }

What was mentioned above is needed for Android. This would allow the saving of the verificationId for manually calling the 2nd exposed api method.

verificationProvider.codeSent(verificationId) is needed
