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.

Step 2: Click on the Create a Session and then Start Remote Control buttons.

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

Step 7: Select the IPA/APK (IPA for iOS, APK for Android) and wait until Headspin uploads and installs the app on the device.
