Sign in with Apple

[leshik]

Hi,

Is it possible to make this plugin work with Sign in with Apple, that is expected to come this fall with iOS13?

[moberwasserlechner]

Hey,

as I would like to support that in my projects as well I will try to make it work. But I have not look into it yet.

I only heard some rumors that Apple will try to force apps to use it, if they use Google or Facebook.

Apple will try to force apps to use it, if they use Google or Facebook

yeah, that's exactly why I'm asking :) we already have google sign in, don't want to be thrown out of AppStore because of it ;)

Hey, chiming in on this issue since it's only a short time until iOS 13 hits the market. I suppose it's not compatible, yet? are there plugins where this is already working? maybe need some help?

[moberwasserlechner]

No it isn't ;). I will get to it as soon as iOS 13 is released. Apple will not force every app to support this without a proper time to get it done. At least I hope they will not.

I don't know if other plugins support that feature yet as I only use this one.

You could always try to get it working if Apple uses standard oauth2 it might work out of the box.

[moberwasserlechner]

Yes Apple requires new apps which uses a 3rd party login service like Facebook Login to support Login with Apple. For existing apps the deadline is April 2020. See https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=09122019b

I didn’t have the time to try it and I guess nobody else did because hopefully someone would have reported back. This is a very general plugin, so it might work. But at the moment the only advise I can give: please try to configure the plugin yourself based on the docs for Sign in with Apple. As soon as you hit a wall aka get an error give a detailed feedback and I’ll try to help.

Thank you for your hard work! I'll probably just install it, because this way I'll be able to have more than just Facebook as a login method. Anyway, is it possible to use Apple's sign-in method with the plugin? Thanks! — You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

As the iOS part does not require any additional dependencies I could just support it on that platform.

But of course it would be nice to get it working with Android and the Web too.

On ios the plugin will detect that the ios13 UI is needed, when authorizationBaseUrl contains https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize. This is needed for other platforms and ios 12 and earlier anyway.

See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_js/incorporating_sign_in_with_apple_into_other_platforms

Platforms that support custom URL schemes—iOS 12.0 and earlier and Android—must handle the data resulting from the authorization flow by storing it on their app server in the logic of their redirect_uri endpoint. You must then redirect the custom URL scheme to give control back to the app.

Hello. I have tried to use this plugin for the Apple Sign in. Am successful in getting the popup and stuff but is stuck at identifying the redirectUrl as the regular 'bunde.name:/' doesn't seem to be accepted by Apple. Hope you can provide insight to how it should be done as I can't seem to find the answer in any forums

{ appId: appId, authorizationBaseUrl: "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize", responseType: "code id_token", redirectUrl: '' // am stuck here, scope: "name email", additionalParameters: { "response_mode": "form_post" } }

[moberwasserlechner]

Hi @AlvinTCH, this plugin does not support it yet. I started working on it in its own branch but it is not ready to use.

[AlvinTCH]

@moberwasserlechner Thanks for working on it. Really appreciate that. Can't publish my app now that they made it compulsory to be included in the app.

[moberwasserlechner]

You might use another plugin just for swa for the time being because I will not be able to release a version with that feature before end of july.

[AlvinTCH]

I am currently using another plugin for it. Putting it here if anyone needs it
https://github.com/rlfrahm/capacitor-apple-login
It's good for now but the package is not being actively maintained. Will look forward to your implementation. Cheers!

[vildhjarta8]

@AlvinTCH you can try this plugin, it is a fork of yours, but community will maintain it.

(Re)testing Siwa is a little weired. To get the full dialog shown I had to reset siwa in my phones settings -> Apple ID -> Password & Security -> Apps using Apple ID -> Delete the app from the list
