FR: Phone Auth for macOS and tvOS

[nidegen]

Feature proposal

• Firebase Component: Auth

I think it's pretty clear: I want to be able to sign in to tvOS and macOS using the phone number:)

Alternatively, I was wondering about shared keychain auth. Could this work between iOS and tvOS?

Frankly, it would be enough if iCloud keychain auth sharing works, but I haven't been able to test it yet (need to get it working on iOS first:))

Hi,
I'm looking for the same, to be able to log in to macOS and tvOS apps using Phone Authentication. Hope it'll be released soon for general usage.

Given that #8878 is not solvable, phone auth for tvOS would be important for me:)

@ryanwilson Any hope this will be implemented soonish?

Hey @nidegen - unfortunately I don't have any timelines to share.

No worries. Do you know if it is technically possible on macOS? I know that on tvOS, both recaptcha and push notifications are unavailable, which makes it impossible to fix just front-end wise.

But on macOS both is available in theory, so it should be possible just with SDK fixes. If so, I can have a try adding macOS support. Is that correct or am I missing something?
