Libphonenumber.js file from google is outdated.

[superhit0]

It does not include the new phone number series and shows them as invalid.

For example, Mobile numbers starting from 6 like 6xxxxxxxxx are considered invalid for India, but they are actually valid and if you try to validate from googlei18n/libphonenumber directly, it says as valid.

Also, can you also share the process for building the libphonenumber file in the repository, it is not same as the demo.js from the google's repository.

If possible, I would like to raise a PR for this.

Actually the libphonenumber.js is copied from intl-tel-input's compiled utils.js. The original source is compile from src/js/utils.js, but unfortunately the content is not compatible with current react-intl-tel-input.

It will be great If you or someone can help to figure the correct way to compile the newest utils.js and make it compatible. Thanks!

@patw0929 Can you please look at this PR #220?

Upgrading the version to 8.9.9.

This solves the current issue.

[patw0929]

Cool. I'm curious about the difference of intl-tel-input's compiled version? If we need to update next version next time, what should we do?

@patw0929
If you want to upgrade the complied version, you have to compile it manually and add it to the repository.
As you have to use closure-complier , to compile this file.

[patw0929]

Oh, thanks, I knew this part.

What I am curious about is the difference between #220 and the compiled utils.js in intl-tel-input's reoo.
I've tried to copy the intl-tel-input's compiled version long time ago, but seems some function is not exist then causing some issues.

However it seems no problem now :P
Will check and merge the PR later if everything is ok.

@patw0929 Since, libphonenumber@8.7.0 present currently in the repo, the libphonenumber in #220 has updated metadata. By metadata, I mean the phone numbers regex and other stuffs.

One use case difference is in funtionality is -
Mobile numbers starting from 6 like 6xxxxxxxxx are considered invalid for India according to libphonenumber@8.7.0, but they are actually valid and if you try to validate from libphonenumber@8.9.9, it says as valid. Which is correct as Mobile numbers of pattern 6xxxxxxxxx were recently added by government in last few months & google has updated them in latest version of libphonenumber@8.9.9
