[mwaked]

Hello,
I hope all is well,
I use firebase phone authentication and this error message "The request is missing the reCaptcha token" is return in onVerificationFailed method only on some Android devices, why this error happened? and how can i fix this error?

Device Details

• Device: Huawei
• Android version: Android 10
• Google Mobile Services (GMS) is available

Android Code

PhoneAuthProvider.getInstance().verifyPhoneNumber(
        phoneNumber,
        60,
        TimeUnit.SECONDS,
        this,
        mCallbacks);

private PhoneAuthProvider.OnVerificationStateChangedCallbacks mCallbacks = new PhoneAuthProvider.OnVerificationStateChangedCallbacks() {

    @Override
    public void onVerificationFailed(@NonNull FirebaseException e) {
      
        Log.w(TAG, "onVerificationFailed", e);

    }

    @Override
    public void onVerificationCompleted(@NonNull PhoneAuthCredential credential) {

        Log.d(TAG, "onVerificationCompleted: " + credential);

    }

    @Override
    public void onCodeSent(@NonNull String verificationId,
                           @NonNull PhoneAuthProvider.ForceResendingToken token) {

        Log.d(TAG, "onCodeSent:" + verificationId);

    }
};

@Override
public void onOtpCompleted(String otp) {
   PhoneAuthCredential credential = PhoneAuthProvider.getCredential(mVerificationId, otp);
 sigintWithCredential(credential);
}
private void sigintWithCredential(PhoneAuthCredential credential) {
    showLoadingView();

    mAuth.signInWithCredential(credential)
            .addOnCompleteListener(this, task -> {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {

                    Log.d(TAG, "signInWithCredential:success");

                    FirebaseUser user = Objects.requireNonNull(task.getResult()).getUser();

                } else {

                    String errorMessage = Objects.requireNonNull(task.getException()).getLocalizedMessage();

                    if (task.getException() instanceof FirebaseAuthInvalidCredentialsException) errorMessage = getString(R.string.invalid_code);

                    Log.w(TAG, "signInWithCredential:failure", task.getException());

     

                }
            });

}

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

}

I have the same problem.

I meet this problem too.
Here log from crashlytic.

Hey folks,

I can speak to this one a little bit. There are two pieces here.

(1) Our error code says the wrong thing - I've filed b/169071896 to track that getting fixed internally.
(2) These devices aren't passing security checks when contacting our Phone Authentication APIs. There's no real remedy to this right now - some users use rooted or otherwise tampered-with Android devices, and that's not allowed when calling our Phone Auth APIs.

Hope that helps!

What about the emulators?

[malcolmdeck]

I should have closed this issue a while ago - it is no longer relevant to how new versions of the SDK function.

@sotiris08 if you're having an problem, please file a new Github issue with the details of what you're seeing :)
