Calling cloud code Parse Swift

Im trying to use phone number verification in my app. During sign up the user will be asked for their phone number and be sent a verification code and they will enter the code and if it matches they can proceed. I have the cloud code ready but I'm not sure how exactly to call this from the app. Any help would be appreciated

What I want to be able to do is when they enter their phone number and press continue, first check that the phone number is a valid phone number, then send the sms code. finally segue to a verification view where they enter the code, if it doesn't match display an alert, if it does, log the user in

Cloud code:

var twilioAccountSid = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var twilioAuthToken = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var twilioPhoneNumber = '+1555-555-5555';
var secretPasswordToken = '1234';


var twilio = require('twilio')(twilioAccountSid, twilioAuthToken);

Parse.Cloud.define("sendVerificationCode", function(request, response) {
               var verificationCode = Math.floor(Math.random()*999999);
               var user = Parse.User.current();
               user.set("phoneVerificationCode", verificationCode);
               user.save();

               twilio.sendSms({
                              From: twilioPhoneNumber,
                              To: request.params.phoneNumber,
                              Body: "Your verification code is " + verificationCode + "."
                              }, function(err, responseData) { 
                              if (err) {
                              response.error(err);
                              } else { 
                              response.success("Success");
                              }
                              });
               });
Parse.Cloud.define("verifyPhoneNumber", function(request, response) {
               var user = Parse.User.current();
               var verificationCode = user.get("phoneVerificationCode");
               if (verificationCode == request.params.phoneVerificationCode) {
               user.set("phoneNumber", request.params.phoneNumber);
               user.save();
               response.success("Success");
               } else {
               response.error("Invalid verification code.");
               }
               });

This is where i call the cloud code: 

@IBOutlet weak var continueButton: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var phoneNumberTextField: UITextField!
@IBAction func continueButtonTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
    var phoneNumber = self.phoneNumberTextField.text

    if phoneNumber?.utf16.count < 10 {
        displayAlert("Error", message: "You must enter a valid 10 digit US phone number including area code")
    } else {
        let params = phoneNumber
        PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("sendVerificationCode", withParameters: params, block: { (object: AnyObject?, error) -> Void in
            if error == nil {
                self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showVerifyUserView", sender: self)
            } else {

                // Do error handling
            }
        })
    }
}

You should use this method:

public class func callFunctionInBackground(function: String, withParameters parameters: [NSObject : AnyObject]?, block: PFIdResultBlock?)

You can call your function this way: 

        PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("sendVerificationCode",
        withParameters: /* any needed params here, for example mobile phone*/)
        { [unowned self](object:AnyObject?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
            guard error == nil else {
                //handle error
                return
            }
             // everything ok
             // notify your app that code is send successfully  

    }

Then when user enters the code do the same:

        PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("verifyPhoneNumber",
        withParameters: /* any needed params here, for example verification code*/)
        { [unowned self](object:AnyObject?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
            guard error == nil else {
                //handle wrong notification code
                return
            }
            // code is ok, notify your app verification is complete
    }

Don't forget to deploy your code to parse with command line utility + take into account that common way to send parameters to cloud code is to send dictionaries

Update, how to send parameters:

PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("functionName",
            withParameters: ["phoneNumber" : phoneNumber)
            { [unowned self](object:AnyObject?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
                ...


        }

Assuming you've deployed your code to Parse (command line "parse deploy"), you call cloud functions using PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground(). See https://www.parse.com/docs/ios/api/Classes/PFCloud.html
