The Firebase Authentication Component can be used to authenticate users using their Phone Number. This Guide shows you how to implement Firebase Phone Authentication in your Apps made with Niotron.

If you haven’t implemented Firebase Core in your app. Check out this Guide to Know how to implement Firebase Core.

Initialization
#

• Create a Global Variable to store the VerificationId from Firebase Phone Auth. This will be used later in order to manually verify user-entered OTP

• Initialize the Firebase Auth Component. This can be done inside the Screen1 Initialize Event

In case Firebase Auth Fails to Initialize this event will be called. The error message can be used to debug the error

Sending The OTP #

In Order to Authenticate the user, an OTP has to be sent to the user. This is a one-time procedure and doing this the second time would instantly call the SMS verified Event as the user is already Verified.

phoneNumber: The Users Number to verify.
timeout: Timeout in seconds (60 – 120)

 

Verification SMS Sent Event
