CodeAutoFill mixin issue while listening for code

There is a issue in the CodeAutoFill mixin. The docs says:

listenForCode() to listen for the SMS code from the native plugin when SMS is received, need to be called on your initState.

but after some tests it seems that this is not enough. If you just do this code will not get detected. In order to start listening for the OTP you need to call both in the initState:

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
   
    listenForCode();
    SmsAutoFill().listenForCode;
  }

If you do not call SmsAutoFill().listenForCode; after listenForCode() you will never receive the OTP code in the Flutter app.

@pedromassango I’m also trying to use the mixin and haven’t gotten it to catch the code yet. I use with CodeAutoFill, call listenForCode() and SmsAutoFill().listenForCode in initState like above, I implement codeUpdated(). codeUpdated() called twice in a row about one minute after receiving the text, but code was null. Did you have any other difficulties that might account for this? Really hard to debug this 😕

Sure @pedromassango !
