verifyPhoneNumber don't work this._auth.emitter.once is not a function

[iddar]

I try run auth().verifyPhoneNumber(phoneNumber) like documentation examples (use on and then syntax) and show this message in a console. Same result in rnFirabse 10.3.0 and 10.2.0.

All other Auth methods work fine in js engine and Hermes

TypeError: this._auth.emitter.once is not a function.
(In 'this._auth.emitter.once(this._internalEvents[type], this["_" + type + "Handler"].bind(this))',
'this._auth.emitter.once' is undefined)

my code

async function signInWithPhoneNumber(phoneNumber) {
    const confirmationw = auth()
      .verifyPhoneNumber(phoneNumber)
      .on('state_changed', (phoneAuthSnapshot) => {
        console.log(phoneAuthSnapshot)
      })
    console.log(confirmationw)
}

I don't think this will be your problem but careful with the versions, they are locked together now so should be all 10.3.1

Have you attempted to track down in node_modules/@react-native-firebase/auth what is being called exactly?

I have tried,
I have only been able to see the definition of the interface and more,
it may be an error with the EventEmitter

Before update to 10.3.0 try on 10.2.0 and don't work

Thanks for your recommendation, now all updated to the last version.

Strange! I use this in my app and while I don't have automated testing around it I know I had it working at some point. I'll investigate.

(note I transferred this issue to the main repository, it's not a docs issue I don't think)

I am facing the same problem on my android physical device.

Any updates?

Ah! This was solved. It was a forward port needed for react-native 0.64. I did that and released it: #5042 - you need v11.1.2 or higher of react-native firebase

I updated react-native to 0.64 and react-native-firebase to v11.2.0 but I has the same problem did I do it correct way ?
It return
Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0):
TypeError: undefined is not a function
TypeError: undefined is not a function

Code :
const getOTP = async () => {
const confirmation = await auth()
.verifyPhoneNumber("phone num here")
.then((confirm) => console.log(confirm))
.catch((err) => console.log(err.code));
}

[mikehardy]

If you have v11.2.0 then things should work, my guess is there is some level of caching happening meaning that you have the updated dependency version but that's not the actual code running. npx react-native-clean-project is my typical prescription for that
