Account Kit is dying #1

Hey @khalidfsh

First of all great job with the project! Love the AccountKit itself which I've used in one of the React Native projects recently. Just wanted to raise bad news with the community about future of AK.

Facebook is gonna kill the Account Kit next year unfortunately - https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/v2/2019/09/09/account-kit-services-no-longer-available-starting-march/ Been also using the service for verifying the phone numbers of the users and had to migrate into Firebase which provides similar functionality.

Still - worth to use the library for the PoC/MVP and when the date comes - migrate to another verification provider. Maybe you can implement it under instant_verification_app, as it doesn't indicate in the naming that it's using AK?

Thank you for your interest in this project, It's bad to know that AccountKit is dying. The most known service and used everyday in my region is WhatsApp, and collecting data (phone number) from users kind of open way.

However, I'm looking for instant login in this project, so I'm thinking about some of firebase-authorization end-to-end identity solutions but, they didn't add "Sign in with Apple" yet, which is so exciting way to use for Apple users.

In other world, Auth0 already starting beta support for Apple sign in and there is a plugin for Flutter.
