Discussion

Synchronously verify the current user’s phone number

This method is used to verify the phone number of the currently logged in user. This is a blocking method.

Verification code is sent from Kii Cloud through SMS when new user is registered with phone number or user requested to change their phone number in the application which requires phone verification.

(You can enable/disable phone verification through the console in developer.kii.com)

After the verification succeeded, new phone number becomes users phone number and user is able to login with the phone number.
To get the new phone number, please call [KiiUser refreshSynchronous:] (or its asynchronuos version) before access to phoneNumber.
Before completion of [KiiUser refreshSynchronous:], value of phoneNumber is cached one. It could be old phone number or nil.
