Limitations

IOS: This feature is available from IOS 12.0 it will not working with older versions

Setup

The only setup is for Android that need a hash code to be append to the sms, the procedure is a little complicated, this plugin has a helper getAppSignatures() on it that that can generate the hash code for the development, it is not sure that the same hash work for production, for that you need to generate it manually.

Get you development hash code by calling getAppSignatures() this will log the flowing into the console:

PS: please use getAppSignatures() to get the hash code then comment it, it is not needed any more

JS: packageName: org.nativescript.plugindemo Hash: I+D7XdR0yWS

Before start

An OTP in most case it is a integers values, please avoid using alphabet characters if possible.

For some reason on IOS the OTP dectection not workin some time with a default keyboard type, if you experiencing a problem try to set the keyboard type to integer

<notp:NativescriptOtp keyboardType="integer" hint="{{ L('activation_code') }}" text="{{ code }}" autocorrect="false" class="otp"/>

Some best practice in order to successfully receive the SMS

  • Try to use thoes keywords into your sms Code Passcode Password is
  • begin your sms by <#> I am not sure about this as it not on the docs
  • do not put multilines between the msg and the hash code
  • use a short code
  • use numbers and alphabetical characters only
<#> your code is: 1234988
I+D7XdR0yWS
