Firebase number authentication not working after uploading app to App Store

Question

I have developed an app that verifies a user by their phone number using Firebase phone number authentication.

The Android version is working correctly after it was published of Google Play but the iOS version does not receive SMS messages, despite it working correctly during development testing.

Why might this occur?

When uploaded to Google Play, I was asked to provide SHA key details for my app, but I was not asked or even know what the App Store equivalent is of this procedure.

I've reworded your question for clarity but I'm still confused. Can you show us some code? — Super_Simon, Apr 23 '18 at 16:47
@Super_Simon There is no code here, its a configuration, I not know what the required configuration in App Store or in firebase after publishing app to app store. — Ali A. Jalil, Apr 23 '18 at 16:51
Have you checked your production certificates in the Apple developer console? — Super_Simon, Apr 23 '18 at 16:53
You should try to first build and run app in release mode scheme to test and if all are working fine then upload of app store. Because sometime difference behaviour in Debug and Release mode of application. — Sagar Chauhan, Apr 23 '18 at 17:23
@Paul Marshal What exactly means of Release mod, "test it on actual device"?, I do that — Ali A. Jalil, Apr 23 '18 at 17:42
In Xcode Beside Stop button, click on target name, there will be popup open, In that click on `Edit Scheme`. It will open new drop down window. In that click on Info and change Build Configuration to Release. So this will work as app store build. — Sagar Chauhan, Apr 23 '18 at 18:06
@PaulMarshal Thanks for your response, but still have same problem — Ali A. Jalil, Apr 24 '18 at 15:24
@AliA.Jalil, Have you solve this problem? I have same problem. — riddhi, Apr 17 '20 at 04:46
I am using AuthKey and the bundle id on firebase is correct as well. But getting invalid token error, although on release mode the app runs fine. Also I am using flutter. — Taha Malik, Aug 29 '20 at 18:42

I had the same problem. Check that you have APN certificate for production application set in Firebase or event better set APNs Authentication Key instead of handling separate certificates.

Check here how to generate certificate: https://developer.clevertap.com/docs/how-to-create-an-ios-apns-auth-key

After upload this key to Firebase -> Settings -> Cloud messaging under APN Auth key sections.
