I am not sure how it works in react native. But in reactjs, the way we instantiate the auth is different from what I'm seeing here. We do something like this:

import Firebase from "../../Firebase/Firebase";

var auth = getAuth(Firebase);

//some code here e.g. your main function etc

sendPasswordResetEmail(auth, user.email)
                    .then(() => {
                        message.success("Password reset email sent!")
                    })
                    .catch((error) => {
                        message.error("Unable to send reset password link :: "   error.message)
                    });

Just verify whether you are indeed getting your "auth" instantiated in the right way here. A simple import doesn't cut it.

EDIT: My code is using version 9 of firebase. Please check with the version you are using and make sure your auth is being instantiated right according to the version

EDIT 2: Remember to enable firebase auth "email sign in" in the firebase console authentication section

All the best.

If you're not getting an error back from the call to sendPasswordResetEmail, there is likely nothing wrong with your code. More likely the message was sent, but got stuck in a spam filter or spam box. So check your spam folder to see if the message showed up there.
