What is Sign in with Apple?

Sign in with Apple is the fast, easy, and more private way to sign in to third-party apps and websites using the Apple ID that you already have.

About Sign in with Apple

When you see a Sign in with Apple button on a participating app or website, it means you can set up an account using your Apple ID. No need to use a social media account, fill out forms, or choose another new password.

Sign in with Apple is built from the ground up to respect your privacy and keep you in control of your personal information. It works natively on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, and in any browser.

Privacy and security

• At your first sign in, apps and websites can ask only for your name and email address to set up an account for you.
• You can use Hide My Email—Apple’s private email relay service—to create and share a unique, random email address that forwards to your personal email. This lets you receive useful messages from the app without sharing your personal email address. Learn more about how Hide My Email works.
• Sign in with Apple won’t track or profile you as you use your favorite apps and websites. Apple retains only the information that’s needed to make sure you can sign in and manage your account.
• Security is built in to Sign in with Apple with two-factor authentication. If you use an Apple device, you can sign in and re-authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID anytime.

Use Sign in with Apple

To use Sign in with Apple, tap the Sign in with Apple button on a participating app or website, review your information, and sign in quickly and securely with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

How to configure Sign In with Apple

One of the interesting things Apple rolled out at their WWDC19 conference was “Sign In with Apple”. Which is an authentication service provided by Apple where developers can allow users to sign into their applications with an Apple Id.

Going through the Apple official docs and configuring this seems to be a tedious task atm. So here I will quickly guide you through the basic setup 🙂

Log in to your Apple developer account.

We will need to obtain an App Id with “Sign In with Apple” capabilities.

1. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers and click on the + sign in the upper left next to “Identifiers”.
2. Select App IDs and hit continue.
3. Here enter any Description and a Bundle ID (Apple recommends using a reverse-domain name style string ex: com.domainname.appname). Scroll down the Capabilities and make sure to tick on Sign In with Apple. And finally, click continue and in the next page verify the details and click Register.

Now we need to obtain a Services Id. This will also serve as the cliend_id when you will be making API calls to authenticate the user.

1. Again go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers and click on the + sign in the upper left next to “Identifiers”.
2. This time select Services IDs and hit continue.
3. Here enter any Description and an Identifier (Apple recommends using a reverse-domain name style string ex: com.domainname.appname). Make sure to tick on Sign In with Apple. Here you will have to click on the Configure button next to “Sign In with Apple”.
4. Clicking the Configure button from the previous step will display a screen with Web Authentication Configuration. Make sure the App ID we obtained previously is selected as the Primary App ID. Next, you will have to add the Web Domain you will be using this service in (however I did not have to verify the domain to try out Sign In with Apple, but its best if you can get this done). I used example-app.com. Finally, add the Return URLs (you can add multiple) which will be the valid URLs to redirect the user after the user authenticates with Sign In with Apple (for quick testing purposes I used https://example-app.com/redirect). Click Save.
5. Click on Continue and in the next page verify the details and click Register.

Now we need to create a secret key that will be used to get our client_secret which will also be needed to make a token request from the Apple.

1. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Keys and click on the + sign in the upper left next to “Keys”.
2. Give a Key Name and make sure to tick Sign In with Apple. Here also we will have to click on Configure. And in the screen that appears next(Configure Key) select the same App Id we used previously under Choose a Primary App ID and click Save.
3. Click on Continue and in the next page verify the details and click Register.
4. Download the key and keep it in a safe place as you will never be able to download it again. Click on Done after downloading the key.

Well, that’s pretty much it with configurations.

We already have our client_id now we need one more thing to call the API; the client_secret which we will create using the private key we just downloaded.

The client secret has to be a JWT and according to Apple docs, we need to encrypt the token using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with the P-256 curve and the SHA-256 hash algorithm. One of the easy ways to get this done is using ruby-jwt. Firstly check whether you already have Ruby setup if not you can get it from here.

Below are the details we will need to include in the JWT.

Let’s get the client_secret.

After setting up Ruby run the command sudo gem install jwt this will setup ruby-jwt.

Add the necessary details and save the following as secret_gen.rb

You can run the secret_gen.rb file using the command ruby secret_gen.rb from the terminal and it will give you the client_secret.

Okay… Now we are ready to test Sign In with Apple 🙂

Add your redirect_uri(should be a Return URL we configured previously) and the client_id and paste this in your browser and hit enter.

You will be prompted to authenticate (I had to enable two-factor authentication for my Apple Id to continue). And in the end, you will be redirected to the redirect_uri and end up with a code.

Run the following cURL command in the terminal after replacing the code with the code you got performing the above, the redirect_uri and client_id as previously used and the client_secret obtained by running secret_gen.rb.

After running the above you should end up with an access token and an id token.

Some useful info like request details when using “Sign in with Apple” can be found in this document provided by apple.

If your wondering about the Sign In with Apple flow, it’s somewhat based on the OIDC Authorization Code flow.

Also, did you know that using WSO2 Identity Server you can add Sign In with Apple to your app in under 5mins with ZERO code? You can find how it’s done over here.

If your interested in learning more about “Sign In with Apple” join this free webinar on Apple Sign In: A Zero-Code Integration Approach Using WSO2 Identity Server.

Set your Mac to automatically log in during startup

If you turn on automatic login for a macOS user account, your Mac automatically logs in to that account during startup.

Choose an account for automatic login

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
2. Click the lock , then enter the account password.
   If you aren’t logged in as an administrator, you’re asked to enter an administrator name and password.
3. Click Login Options in the lower-left corner.
4. Choose an account from the “Automatic login” menu, then enter the password of that account.
   

The account is now set up to log in automatically when your Mac starts up. You might still be asked to log in manually after logging out, switching back from another user account, or locking your screen.

If automatic login is unavailable

When manual login is required, the “Automatic login” menu is dimmed or doesn’t show the account name. For example:

• If FileVault is turned on, manual login is required for all accounts. You can turn FileVault off.
• If an account uses an iCloud password to log in, manual login is required for that account. You might also see the message “A user with an encrypted home folder can’t log in automatically.” When changing the account password, you can choose not to use the iCloud password.

Log in after sleep or screen saver begins

You might still need to enter your password when your Mac wakes from sleep or stops using the screen saver. You can change this behavior:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
2. In the General pane, deselect ”Require password after sleep or screen saver begins.” Or leave it selected, but choose a time interval from the pop-up menu:
