React-Native Firebase Phone Auth freezes iPhone

Question

I want to sign the user in by phoneNumber in react-native. On Android this code snippet works neat. But on iOS always when I start this function the emulator freezes. I am trying to use this code Auth-Example I am using the react-native-firebase library.

  openPhoneVerification() {
    firebase
      .auth()
      .signInWithPhoneNumber(this.state.phoneNumber)
      .then(confirmResult =>
        this.props.navigation.navigate("PhoneVerification", {
          confirmResult
        })
      )
      // Wrong number - https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.auth.Auth#signInWithPhoneNumber
      .catch(error =>
        Alert.alert(
          "Number not valid",
          "Please check your number and type in again",
          [
            {
              text: "OK",
              style: "cancel"
            }
          ],
          { cancelable: true }
        )
      );
  }

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm encountering the same issue and am wondering if it's related to the fact that my app isn't prompting users to enable push notifications via testflight? — Ariel Salem
