Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a persistent issue with Sign in with Apple on my iOS app that I cannot resolve from my side. I've already opened a support case (ID: 20000115382721) and received a reply directing me back to the Developer Forum, so I'm posting here in hopes someone has encountered the same issue or can offer guidance.
Error message:
FirebaseAuthException: [firebase_auth/invalid-credential] Invalid OAuth response from apple.com
Critical observation:
The Apple authentication screen never appears. When the user taps "Continue with Apple", the error is returned immediately. This suggests the request is being rejected before reaching Apple's authentication servers — pointing to a backend configuration issue on Apple's side for my Team ID.
My setup:
Team ID: DHKU23JL7H
Bundle ID: com.expensespy.app
Framework: Flutter with sign_in_with_apple package v7.0.1
Backend: Firebase Authentication
Other auth methods (Google Sign-In, Email/Password): working correctly
Verified configuration (all done correctly):
App ID (com.expensespy.app):
Sign In with Apple capability is enabled
Configured as a primary App ID
Not grouped with any other App ID
Service ID (com.expensespy.app.auth):
Created and linked to the primary App ID
Domain: expensespy-e11ab.firebaseapp.com
Return URL: https://expensespy-e11ab.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler
All other redundant Service IDs have been removed
Sign In with Apple Key:
Created with Key ID X8T9NLBT4Y
Linked to the primary App ID
.p8 file is available
Firebase Apple provider:
Tested with OAuth code flow fields populated (Services ID, Team ID, Key ID, Private Key) — same error
Tested with OAuth code flow fields empty (recommended for iOS-only) — same error
Client-side implementation:
Proper nonce generation with SHA256 hashing
OAuthProvider('apple.com').credential() with idToken and rawNonce
Tested across 3 different builds (Build 12, 13, 14)
Tested on multiple iOS devices (iOS 18+)
What I've ruled out:
Client-side code (tested 3 different implementations)
Firebase configuration (tested both populated and empty)
Multiple Service IDs (cleaned up to just one)
App ID configuration (verified primary status)
Context:
During my Apple Developer Program enrollment, I experienced an error that was not fully resolved. I suspect this may have left my account in a state where Sign in with Apple is not fully activated on the Apple backend for my Team ID.
Question:
Has anyone encountered this where the Apple auth screen never appears at all? Is there a way to verify that Sign in with Apple is properly provisioned for a specific Team ID on Apple's backend? My App Store submission is blocked by this since Sign in with Apple is required when offering third-party authentication.
Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who solved a similar issue would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
