Verify Silent Network Auth Headspin Testing Guide
In order to test Verify Silent Network Auth (SNA), the mobile number used must be on one of our supported carriers within a supported country. If you do not have access to a supported mobile number, you can use a third-party mobile device testing service like Headspin to obtain one and proceed with testing.
- A Headspin account. To create one, request a free trial and a Headspin rep will contact you to set it up within 1-2 days.
- A mobile app to install. If you'd like to use our SDK sample apps, request access to our iOS/Android SNA SDK repositories.
- An IPA/APK generated from your app or the sample app.
- Uninstall the app from the Headspin device once you finish testing to prevent leaks of your product. Headspin devices are available to all their customers.
- It may be difficult to debug the app should issues occur, you may want to plan a logging strategy to track user interactions during Headspin testing.

Step 3: In the Devices list, select a device on a supported region. Supported regions currently include:
