Flutter Firebase Phone Authentication is not sending sms code. PhoneCodeAutoRetrievalTimeout method is called directly. Here is my code

Question

I have just copy-pasted sample code to start working on Firebase Phone Authentication. But firebase is not sending SMS code to real numbers and test numbers. I tested for both. Can you help to find out the issue?

The problem was with the firebase itself. It was not sending any sms that day. Now the same code is working fine.
