window.FirebasePlugin.verifyPhoneNumber is not a function error

I have a ionic project (created by Ionic CLI). I am trying to integrate firebase's phone authentication mechanism to login user. As per different tutorials and guidelines, I knew I had to rely upon some forks as the official firebase plugin doesn't have phone authentication support yet.

I came across - 1. https://github.com/jestcastro/cordova-plugin-firebase & 2. https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase

and installed them separately.

Both of them have similar structure :

window.FirebasePlugin.verifyPhoneNumber(number, timeOutDuration, function(credential) {
    console.log(credential);

    // ask user to input verificationCode:
    var code = inputField.value.toString();

    var verificationId = credential.verificationId;

    var signInCredential = firebase.auth.PhoneAuthProvider.credential(verificationId, code);
    firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(signInCredential);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

But, whenever I try to run the code (on physical device, or in browser), it gives me this error -

ERROR TypeError: window.FirebasePlugin.verifyPhoneNumber is not a function

I have tried - 

(<any>window).FirebasePlugin.verifyPhoneNumber(..)

but found similar result.

Ionic Info gives this :

    @ionic/cli-plugin-proxy : 1.4.11
