save user phone immediately, during create account

Hey @dammy, could you create a gist with your full code? Happy to take a look and try to figure out a solution!

based off of this, your createAcc() and addPhoneDetails() methods don't have a return type.

This isn't the best way to do this because: in createAcc, you're returning the response, and if there's an error, you're returning a string. Those are two different types of Future:

submitDetails.then((response) {
      if (response.statusCode == 201) {
        debugPrint("successful");
      }

      return response;
    }).catchError((error) {
      return "An error occured";
    });

How to resolve this? Try adding a return type of Future to the createAcc function. This will make sure that whatever gets, returned by the function, is of the type Future<something>. Then you can use await createAcc();. This should work because the function will wait for something to be returned; and that's when you use Future - when the returned value is computed/fetched after some time.

Do the same for the addPhoneDetails(), and see if it works. Let me know if there's any issues!

okay, but originally, submitDetails works, just addPhoneDetails() that is not adding phone number

Btw, response doesn't have a statusCode. I'm surprised your IDE isn't telling you that's a problem

Anyways, again, this comes down to futures and async programming. This is the same problem you're having: https://dart.dev/codelabs/async-await#example-incorrectly-using-an-asynchronous-function

account.create() is not finishing fully before you can account.updatePhone

I did this

Good. And?

account.create() is not finishing fully before you can account.updatePhone

I will check for this again

same issue

What's the full error you're seeing now?

the thing is, it is not adding phone number

Oh right....again you don't have a session. You need to create a session

ouch, no wonder

you mean login?

so, you mean during registration, phone can not be added?

here it is

because, I want to do email and phone verification in parallel

As part of the API, create account does not have a phone parameter.

that means I will request for phone after login?

or is it advisable to alter the sdk file?

not a good practice, and not recommended. You can register the user, then redirect them to add a phone number immediately after

ok then

Thanks man

no worries at all

I appreciate you all @safwan and @Steven

you all are the best, thanks for been of great help
