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.

Requirements

• 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.
• iOS: https://github.com/twilio/twilio-verify-sna-ios
• Android: https://github.com/twilio/twilio-verify-sna-android
• An IPA/APK generated from your app or the sample app.
• ReadMe instructions for running the sample app

Considerations

• 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.
