Cannot send verification email FIREBASE AUTH - flutter

Question

So I made a testing Flutter app because I'm having problems with my bigger one and I wanted to try isolate the problem.
Whenever I try to call user.sendEmailVerification() it never actually sends the email. I added .then afterwards and checked if it did send and it says it did but I've tried everything so I'm hoping someone here can help me out!!
main.dart
import 'package:emailverifytest/verify.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'firebase_options.dart';
Future<void> main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp(options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform);
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const MaterialApp(home: verify());
}
}
verify.dart
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/src/foundation/key.dart';
import 'package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart';
class verify extends StatelessWidget {
const verify({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
void runTest() async {
try {
// await FirebaseAuth.instance.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
// email: 'example#gmail.com', password: 'password');
await FirebaseAuth.instance
.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
email: 'example#gmail.com', password: 'password')
.then((value) async {
await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.sendEmailVerification();
print('sent');
});
// User? user = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser;
// if (user != null && !user.emailVerified) {
// await user.sendEmailVerification();
// print("here");
// }
} on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
print(e.code);
}
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
runTest();
return const Scaffold();
}
}
