`user` not returned from Sign in with Apple REST API

I have tried everything to get the user field returned with Sign in flow and it never does, not for new users, not even if i create a new app! Working with Apple is so frustrating and you have to pay for it!!

Referencing this page, I am using scope=name email. I have tried using + and %20 as the spacer and neither makes a difference. I have also tried setting response_type = code and code id_token (again with + and %20 as the spacer) which also doesn't make a difference. Always the id_token is returned and always the email, but never the user.

I feel the lack of responses highlights this issue
