Login/Signup: No validation when I tap "text me a code"

[osullivanchris]

Expected behavior

When I tap 'Text me a code instead', I expect to either receive a text, or be told that my number is not registered.

Actual behavior

• I see a success message "SMS sent"
• I receive no SMS
• I get no further messaging or instructions
• I do not know if I have a number registered, or where I should do that.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Start logged out
• Choose 'tap 'login or signup with WordPress.com, or use credentials saved on the device
• arrive on verification step
• tap 'Text me a code instead'

Tested on iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14.4.2, WPiOS 17.3

Hey @osullivanchris , thanks for reporting 😊. I get an sms when I try, so just to make sure we're on the same page, you were not using an a8c email, right? SMS is disabled for those.

Ahh right! I was using an A8C email 🤦 !!

It might still be a good idea to throw an error in there so you don't get further reports like this. But obviously low priority...

We ran into this in Android 17.7 testing, and I was able to reproduce on a non-a8c test account. https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/14984

After some more tinkering, I realized I was using an a8c account on Android, but not on iOS. I was not able to reproduce on Android with a non-a8c account, but can reproduce on iOS with that same non-a8c account.

I am able to recreate this with a non A8C email. In my testing I found that the failure to receive a SMS message was tied to a 400 response from https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token
