Not able to make the signInWithPhoneNumber() work

[LuFC-SSD]

So I am following the official documentation to set up my expo application with the package (https://rnfirebase.io/). I am also following the documentation from the Phone Auth page (https://rnfirebase.io/auth/phone-auth).

I have already done the below things:

• Enabled phone authentication in my firebase project
• Created phone numbers for testing in my firebase project
• Created configuration files for android and IOs (for android I generated the SHA-1 key with npx eas credentials)
• Placed the configuration files in the root of my project
• Configured the app.json file with these configurations:

"ios": {
      "supportsTablet": true,
      "infoPlist": {
        "NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription": "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your photos.",
        "NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription": "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to save photos."
      },
      "googleServicesFile": "./GoogleService-Info.plist",
      "bundleIdentifier": "com.test.app"
    },
    "android": {
      "adaptiveIcon": {
        "foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
        "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
      },
      "permissions": [
        "android.permission.CAMERA",
        "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO",
        "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
        "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
        "android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION",
        "android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION",
        "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION",
        "android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"
      ],
      "package": "com.test.app",
      "googleServicesFile": "./google-services.json"
    },

• Placed the plugins for react-native-firabase in the plugins array of the app.json file

"plugins": [
      "@react-native-firebase/app",
      "@react-native-firebase/auth"
    ],

With all this configuration done, I wrote this code!

const handlePhoneSubmit = async (values: { phoneNumber: string, otpStatus: boolean }) => {
        setLoading(true);
        try {
            // YES, I am using the Firebase SDK until I found out that there was no way to 
            // the signInWithPhoneNumber using the FirebaseSDK directly in react-native
            await setDoc(doc(_firestoreService, "userDetails", currentUser.uid), {
                phoneNumber: values.phoneNumber,
                isOtpLogginEnabled: values.otpStatus,
                isPhoneVerified: false,
            });
            const confirmation = await auth().signInWithPhoneNumber(values.phoneNumber);
            setConfirmation(confirmation);
            successToast("", SignUpMessages.OTP_CODE_SENT)
            navigation.navigate(ComponentNames.OTP);
        } catch (err) {
            errorToast(SignUpMessages.OTP_CODE_NOT_SENT)
            console.log(JSON.stringify(err, null, 2));
        } finally {
            setLoading(false);
        }
    } 

But even with all these, which I think I did right, I am not able to send an OTP code to my test phone number!

Note

I am using the command npx expo run:android to test the application
