Firebase Phone Verification verifyPhoneNumber() deprecated + Application Crashed

Question

Getting error after upgrading Firebase Auth (20.0.0) dependency for Phone Authentication, PhoneAuthProvider.getInstance().verifyPhoneNumber()

Dependency:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:20.0.0'

Error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/browser/customtabs/CustomTabsIntent$Builder;

     Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "androidx.browser.customtabs.CustomTabsIntent$Builder"

Can anyone explain what should I change for new dependency? What are the new steps?

Answer 1

This is what I did to remove the Error:

I referred firebase phone auth documentation and made the necessary changes:

Replace this:

PhoneAuthProvider.getInstance().verifyPhoneNumber(
            phoneNumber, //phone number to be verified
            60, // validity of the OTP
            TimeUnit.SECONDS,
            (Activity) TaskExecutors.MAIN_THREAD,
            mCallBack // onVerificationStateChangedCallback
    );

With this

PhoneAuthOptions options =
            PhoneAuthOptions.newBuilder(mAuth)
                    .setPhoneNumber(phoneNumber)       // Phone number to verify
                    .setTimeout(60L, TimeUnit.SECONDS) // Timeout and unit
                    .setActivity(this)                 // Activity (for callback binding)
                    .setCallbacks(mCallBack)          // OnVerificationStateChangedCallbacks
                    .build();
    PhoneAuthProvider.verifyPhoneNumber(options);

Also, add this to your app/gradle file dependencies:

implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.2.0'

This will help firebase to open the browser for reCAPTCHA verification.

Hope this works!

Answer 2

Finally, I got solutions with the help of Alex Mamo's Answer and This Documentation

The steps which I followed:

1. Update new dependency implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:20.0.0'

2. Update new code:

   For send OTP:

   PhoneAuthProvider.verifyPhoneNumber(
        PhoneAuthOptions
                .newBuilder(FirebaseAuth.getInstance())
                .setActivity(this)
                .setPhoneNumber(phoneNumber)
                .setTimeout(60L, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .setCallbacks(mCallbacks)
                .build());
   

   For Resend OTP

   PhoneAuthProvider.verifyPhoneNumber(
            PhoneAuthOptions
                    .newBuilder(FirebaseAuth.getInstance())
                    .setActivity(this)
                    .setPhoneNumber(phoneNumber)
                    .setTimeout(60L, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                    .setCallbacks(mCallbacks)
                    .setForceResendingToken(token)
                    .build());
   

   Still, you will get an error as below:

[SmsRetrieverHelper] SMS verification code request failed: unknown status code: 17028 A safety_net_token was passed, but no matching SHA-256 was registered in the Firebase console. Please make sure that this application’s packageName/SHA256 pair is registered in the Firebase Console.

3. You need to copy SHA-256 from your Keystore or JKS file and add here in SHA Certificate fingerprints:

   

4. Finally, You did it.

   There is no need for a reCAPTCHA verification.

Thank you.
