No ability to use FirebaseUI to link existing accounts

[bagintz]

It appears there is no way to actually initiate the FirebaseUI screens with the explicit purpose of linking to other accounts, particularly Phone Number.

Am I missing something?

@bagintz Ha! One of these days I need to either blackmail some iOS developer into implementing this feature or learn Swift and do it myself. 😆

Ok, let me back up a little and give you some context. This feature is fully implemented on the Android side of things and there's a ton of discussion here, but no one has done much on the iOS side yet and Firebase wants to keep compatablity between the two platforms so the Android PR isn't going to get merged anytime soon. You can find some install instructions here and links to the documentation here.

@samtstern This issue can be closed as a duplicate of #123.

Hi @samtstern seems this issue has been resolved perfectly great by @SUPERCILEX and still not avialble officially. Wouldn't it make sense to made the improvement avialble ? Even if IOS version is not alligned with this feature it doesn't make sense to hold the feature any longer for android users, specially since this has been avialble since 2017 or even before. Having the feature avialable will also encourage IOS team to deliver the feature sooner.... otherwise we will be waiting and waiting for an already avialble feature that is super helpful and mostly needed. Thanks in advance @samtstern , and also thanks a lot @SUPERCILEX for developing this super useful feature!
