Hi Community,
We've implemented Sign In with Apple in our application. Our domains are properly registered in the developer console, but we're experiencing inconsistent email functionality with Apple's privacy email service.
Some domains work correctly while others show delivery problems, even though all domains have identical configurations. Apple's console displays green verification status for all domains, yet testing reveals that emails to privacy-protected accounts don't arrive as expected.
We're using SendGrid as our email service provider, and all domains have valid authentication records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) in place.
Has anyone encountered similar inconsistencies with Apple's privacy email service? Would appreciate any configuration tips or troubleshooting guidance.
Thanks.

Dear Apple Developer Technical Support,
We are currently following the official Apple documentation “TN3159: Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer” to carry out a Sign in with Apple user migration after successfully transferring several apps to a new developer account.
Here is a summary of our situation:
Under the original Apple developer account, we had five apps using Sign in with Apple, grouped under a shared primary app using App Grouping.
Recently, we transferred three of these apps to our new Apple developer account via App Store Connect.
After the transfer, these three apps are no longer associated with the original primary App ID. We reconfigured individual Services IDs for each app in the new account and enabled Sign in with Apple for each.
More than 24 hours have passed since the app transfer was completed.
Now we are attempting to follow the migration process to restore user access via the user.migration flow. Specifically, we are using the following script to request an Apple access token:
url = "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/token"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
data = {
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"scope": "user.migration",
"client_id": "com.game.friends.ios.toptop.sea", # New Services ID in the new account
"client_secret": "<JWT signed with new p8 key>"
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
However, the API response consistently returns:
{
"error": "invalid_client"
}
We have verified that the following configurations are correct:
The client_secret is generated using the p8 key from the new account, signed with ES256 and correct key_id, team_id, and client_id.
The client_id corresponds to the Services ID created in the new account and properly associated with the migrated app.
The scope is set to user.migration.
The JWT payload contains correct iss, sub, and aud values as per Apple documentation.
The app has been fully transferred and reconfigured more than 24 hours ago.
Problem Summary & Request for Support:
According to Apple’s official documentation:
“After an app is transferred, Apple updates the Sign in with Apple configuration in the background. This can take up to 24 hours. During this time, attempts to authenticate users or validate tokens may fail.”
However, we are still consistently receiving invalid_client errors after the 24-hour waiting period. We suspect one of the following issues:
The transferred apps may still be partially associated with the original App Grouping or primary App ID.
Some Sign in with Apple configuration in Apple’s backend may not have been fully updated after the transfer.
Or the Services ID is not yet fully operational for the transferred apps in the new account.
We kindly request your assistance to:
Verify whether the transferred apps have been completely detached from the original App Grouping and primary App ID.
Confirm whether the new Services IDs under the new account are fully functional and eligible for Sign in with Apple with user.migration scope.
Help identify any remaining configuration or migration issues that may cause the invalid_client error.
If necessary, assist in manually ungrouping or clearing any residual App Grouping relationships affecting the new environment.
We have also generated and retained the original transfer_sub identifiers and are fully prepared to complete the sub mapping once the user.migration flow becomes functional.
Thank you very much for your time and support!

Sign in with Apple
Hi Apple Developer Support,
We are implementing Sign in with Apple for our web application hosted on example.com.
In the Service ID settings, we have configured the following:
Service ID (client_id):
com.example.service.local
Web Domain:
example.com
Return URL:
https://2db2-121-160-153-88.ngrok-free.app/login/oauth2/code/apple
We also tested login via the following URL from our web application:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?response_mode=form_post&response_type=code&client_id=com.example.service.local&scope=name%20email&state=2f9gMY1rTe12-O7Wbnb7KWe504HQ0KWBSHTKHbg9ZEY=&redirect_uri=https://2db2-121-160-153-88.ngrok-free.app/login/oauth2/code/apple
However, we’re receiving an invalid_client error after submission.
Our questions:
Is it valid to use an ngrok URL like https://2db2-121-160-153-88.ngrok-free.app/... as the Return URL for development and testing?
Does the Web Domain need to match the ngrok domain, or is it enough to register the production domain (e.g., example.com)?
Is there any propagation delay or approval process after updating the Return URL in the Service ID?
Is the client_id strictly required to match the Service ID exactly?
We would greatly appreciate any insights or best practices to help us resolve this issue.
Thank you in advance!

Sign in with Apple
On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, Sign in with Apple was impacted by a configuration issue which affected some developer accounts that created new app or Services ID configurations, or edited existing configurations, resulting in the following errors:
invalid_client response error returned by the authentication, token validation/revocation, and user migration requests
"Sign Up Not Completed" (or equivalent) error presented from the Authentication Services framework.
On Monday, June 23, 2025, this issue was resolved. Please retry the Sign in with Apple flows in your Sign in with Apple enabled apps and websites to confirm your developer account configuration has been fixed.
Please let us know if you can still reproduce this issue with your developer account. If so, follow the steps outlined in the post below:

On Thursday, June 12, 2025, Sign in with Apple was impacted by an incorrect subdomain defined in its /.well-known/openid-configuration file. The JSON returned incorrectly provided https://account.apple.com instead of the expected https://appleid.apple.com.
For Sign in with Apple, the value for the issuer (iss) claim in the user's identity token is https://appleid.apple.com. Additionally, if your clients use the Sign in with Apple REST API, the following endpoints should be used for each request:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/token
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/revoke
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/keys
This issue with the /.well-known/openid-configuration file was resolved the same day. Use the URL below to confirm the expected subdomain is provided, as needed:
https://appleid.apple.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

I've been fighting this issue for 3 days now.
After several failures, I created a new app id and service id yesterday.
I checked and entered domain, callback, and login usage clearly,
but it keeps returning an error. Can you help me figure out what's wrong?
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=com.smoothmail.signin&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsmoothmail.store%2Fapple-auth&state=4157daa763&scope=name+email&response_mode=form_post

Sign in with Apple
I'm trying to implement Apple Login using OAuth through the following URL:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize
I use the client_id parameter, which corresponds to the Service ID created under Identifiers in the Apple Developer portal.
The problem is: an existing Service ID works fine, but when I create a new Service ID and try to use it, I get an invalid_client error as soon as the authorization window opens.
I've double-checked everything, but I can't figure out what the issue is. Has anyone else experienced this or knows the cause?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=com.adobe.services.adobeid-na1.web
shows:
invalid_request
But https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=xrqxnpjgps
shows:
invalid_client
I've created a Primary App ID and ticked "Sign In with Apple".
I've created a Service ID and ticked "Sign In with Apple" (identifier is xrqxnpjgps).
When I click "Configure" for the "Sign In with Apple" of the Service ID, it is linked to the Primary App ID.
Why do I get an invalid_client error?
I've contacted the support by mail, and have been redirected here, does someone here have the ability/access/knowledge/will to figure out the cause and then tell me?

Sign in with Apple
I am having trouble with one of my apps that will not let me log in via Apple Sign In. I am using Firebase and Firebase UI for the sign in process. I have many other apps with the same exact config that currently work just fine, but this one I have gone as far as completely deleting the targets and rebuilding and it will not return from the login screen
I checked the following:
Sign in with Apple ID Capability is available in XCode and on the dev certificate on developer.apple.com
I have also toggled both of them on and off.
I have double checked the config in Firebase to turn on the Apple Login identifier. Again I have toggle it on and off.
I have cleaned the project multiple times to no avail.
I have logged out and back into my developer account in XCode.
It seams like after I put in the correct password to log in, it just never returns to the app, there is no logging. I do get a notified(shaking input box) if I put in an incorrect password, but when I put in the correct one, the login window never dismisses and my app is not notified.
I checked the Console and the last message from akd on a working app is:
Notifying client (bundle) of credential state change 1.
Remote view sent a finish event
On the one not working, using the same user and password akd returns:
SRP authentication with server failed! Error: Error Domain=com.apple.AppleIDAuthSupport Code=2 "M2 missing (bad password)
I have 100% verified I am putting in the correct user password. I was only notified of this issue because Policy is having the same issue logging in during App Review. Also, if I put in a bad password the input window shakes and when this is happening, the input window is not shaking
Hello.
I have issue with implementing "Sign in with Apple" on my website.
As folow, I have created:
App ID identifier: com.livnobus.app (G2F5N5UHYZ)
Service ID identifier: com.livnobus.client (B25ZN8P84U) with option enabled "Sign in with Apple" and configuration (Primary App ID and Webiste URLs)
Key ID: 43N8XKUW7S with option enabled "Sign in with Apple" and configuration (Primary App ID and Grouped App Ids)
When I click "Sign in with Apple" on my website (https://dev.livnobus.com/auth/login), system redirect me to https://appleid.apple.com/ and error show "invalid_client".
Redirect URL on my web site is:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=com.livnobus.client&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.livnobus.com%2Fauth%2Fapple%2Fcallback&scope=name%20email&response_type=code&response_mode=form_post&state=eGAgdpLrvskJc26RbTizc9TGwxnL6KAEJOf68pmO&nonce=e7c7a242-1977-47ea-9013-98820c24bfba.eGAgdpLrvskJc26RbTizc9TGwxnL6KAEJOf68pmO
There was old Service ID identifier com.livnobus.app-client, for which I lost private KEY, so I have created new one: com.livnobus.client
With old Service ID com.livnobus.app-client, https://appleid.apple.com/ shows me Apple form for sign in, but with new Service ID com.livnobus.client there is error "invalid_client"
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=com.livnobus.app-client&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.livnobus.com%2Fauth%2Fapple%2Fcallback&scope=name%20email&response_type=code&response_mode=form_post&state=eGAgdpLrvskJc26RbTizc9TGwxnL6KAEJOf68pmO&nonce=e7c7a242-1977-47ea-9013-98820c24bfba.eGAgdpLrvskJc26RbTizc9TGwxnL6KAEJOf68pmO
These changes I have made last Friday, and since then I can't use "Sign in with Apple" on my website.
Thanks!
We're integrating Sign in with Apple into our iOS app using both SwiftUI and UIKit.
The Apple ID login UI appears correctly on real devices, but after tapping Continue, the system immediately stops and shows code 1001.
This issue happens across multiple devices and Apple ID accounts, even with no prior login history.
We’ve confirmed the following:
Sign in with Apple is enabled in both Developer Portal and Xcode Capabilities
Automatic signing and provisioning are set correctly
Device is signed into iCloud and system time is synced
Performed clean build, app reinstall, and other standard debugging steps
We suspect that the sign-in process may not be completing properly due to some kind of account or server-side restriction, and we’d appreciate any insights into this behavior.
Hi, I've been developing an app with a server. I'm hosting the server on an IPv6-ONLY network that's hidden behind the CloudFlare, so it works flawlessly from the clients point of view, but if server needs to access external resources, they need to be accessible over IPv6. As it turns out, appleid.apple.com doesn't support IPv6, and the Sign In with Apple happens with the help of my server.
So, I can't sign users in as Apple doesn't support IPv6 traffic on appleid.apple.com. Are there any plans to support IPv6 in the near future, or should I work on the networking setup to enable IPv4 just for the Apple SSO? Or maybe there's a clever workaround I'm missing?

Sign in with Apple
Hey there, im getting Sign up not complete! even with the official template
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/implementing-user-authentication-with-sign-in-with-apple
my developer account is recently renewed, which it has expired for a bit
i am using automatic managed signing
I have a feel something went wrong my apple developer account id,
and also this cause me getting invalid client when sign in with app on web app.
I am implementing Apple Sign-In for a multi-platform application, specifically for the web component using the REST API flow.
I am encountering an invalid_request Invalid web redirect url error when attempting to use a newly registered redirect URL.
Here are the details:
Original Test URL: I initially registered a redirect URL, let's call it [Your Original Test Redirect URL, e.g., https://test.yourdomain.com/auth/callback], for testing purposes. This URL worked correctly.
New Service URL: I then registered a second redirect URL, [Your New Service Redirect URL, e.g., https://www.yourdomain.com/auth/callback], intended for my production service. This URL was registered approximately 5 days ago (including the weekend).
The Problem: The new service URL ([Your New Service Redirect URL]) is still not working and consistently returns the invalid_request Invalid web redirect url error.
Puzzling Behavior: Furthermore, I have since deleted the original test URL ([Your Original Test Redirect URL]) from the Service ID configuration in the Apple Developer portal. However, the deleted test URL still appears to function correctly when I use it.
This situation is highly confusing: The newly registered URL is not working after 5 days, while the URL I have deleted from the configuration is still operational.
The Service ID in question is [Your Service ID, e.g., com.yourdomain.service].
Could you please investigate why the new redirect URL ([Your New Service Redirect URL]) is not becoming active and is returning the invalid_request error, and also explain why the deleted URL ([Your Original Test Redirect URL]) remains functional?
Any guidance or assistance you can provide to resolve this issue with the new URL would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.
Sincerely,
I have the exact same problem.
The newly registered URL is not working after 5 days, while the URL I have deleted from the configuration is still operational.
In addition to the above problem, I also get a response of 'invalid_client' when I newly register a service in configuration.
Please check it out as it needs to be resolved quickly.
Since a few days, we are hitting AuthorizationError 1000 / 1001 whenever we try to use Sign in with Apple for a new app. We have added entitlements to the app in both release and debug, and setup the services id.
Many other devs are complaining about the same issue lately, and it's possible to reproduce on a fresh app id, see this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/flutterhelp/comments/1lf6kmq/sign_in_with_apple_signup_not_completed
I am asking about the apple Sign in implementation.
▫️ problems
eas local build or test flight, I get a “Could not complete registration” message.
When I check the console, I see the following error message.
akd SRP authentication with server failed! Error: Error

UserInfo={NSDescription=<private>, Status=<private>}
▫️ Assumption
・Developed with Expo
・"expo-apple-authentication":"^7.2.4"
・Two apps are developed at the same time, using supabase, firebase, but both have the same error
・On Xcode, on app ids, apple sign in capability is turned on
・Service ids is set to domain, return url
・keys is created

Authentication Services
I'm developing a Unity iOS app using the official "Sign In with Apple" Unity plugin (v1.5.0), and I'm encountering persistent errors during authentication. Here’s the full context:
App Info:
Unity version: 6000.0.32f1
Bundle ID: com.pfcgaming.applesignin
Sign In with Apple enabled in the Apple Developer portal
Real iOS device, not simulator
Error Logs:
txt
Copy
Edit
Authorization failed: Error Domain=AKAuthenticationError Code=-7003 "(null)"
UserInfo={AKClientBundleID=com.pfcgaming.applesignin}
ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error:
Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1001 "(null)"
Description: The operation couldn’t be completed. No credentials available for login.
What I’ve Done So Far:
Verified "Sign In with Apple" is enabled under the App ID in developer.apple.com.
Provisioning profile has been regenerated with correct entitlements.
Xcode project has the “Sign In with Apple” capability added.
Tested on multiple real iOS devices with iCloud + Keychain enabled.
Tried both PerformQuickLogin() and LoginWithAppleId() approaches in the plugin.
My Observations:
These errors started occurring right after enabling "Sign In with Apple" in the developer portal.
Based on some community feedback, there may be a backend propagation delay after enabling SIWA (Sign In With Apple) which might cause these errors.
Questions:
Is it expected to receive error -7003 or 1001 immediately after enabling SIWA in the Developer Portal?
How long does it typically take for entitlement changes to fully propagate?
Is there any Apple-recommended workaround to test during this wait time?
Any insight or confirmation would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Sign in with Apple
I hope this problem could be solved, also in case any other one strugling the same issue could be helpful.
We are developing an iOS App which use "sign in with Apple" feature.
We found we can not login with this feature, the "sign in with Apple" dialog box always flash an error info "Sign-Up Not Complete".
We have double checked configuration of Bundle ID, and xcode capabilities, info.plist, entitlements, etc.
We have even changed the developer team, using other bundle ID and demo code to testify this, also got failure of "Sign-Up Not Complete" error.
We did even just use Apple official demo code (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AuthenticationServices/implementing-user-authentication-with-sign-in-with-apple), also got the same failure.
Interestingly, we found that using some old Bundle IDs which created before (even we did not use it for App yet), we could get "sign in with Apple" success logged in.
Therefore we now can not include "sign in with Apple" feature in our App today, and this is the key feature in our App.
Please help.
Since there is very little information we could collect, I just put the debug error here:

Apple Sign In - "Sign up not completed" Error in Development Build (React Native / Expo)
Problem Summary
I'm implementing Apple Sign In in a React Native app using expo-apple-authentication. The Apple sign-in dialog appears as expected, but after tapping "Continue," it displays the message: "Sign up not completed". No credential is returned, and the promise eventually rejects with ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED.
App Configuration
Platform: React Native (Expo SDK 52)
Library: expo-apple-authentication v7.1.3
Target: iOS development build (not Expo Go)
Bundle ID: com.example.appname.nativetest (new App ID created for testing)
Apple Developer Console Setup (Reviewed Carefully)
App ID
Explicit App ID (not a wildcard)
"Sign In with Apple" capability enabled
No associated Services IDs or Sign In with Apple Keys
Provisioning Profile
Development profile created for the test App ID
Profile includes the test device and development certificate
Installed successfully and used to sign the app
Certificates and Signing
Valid Apple Developer Program membership
Development certificate installed and selected during build
App installs and launches properly on the test device
Implementation Attempts
Attempt 1: Supabase OAuth Method
Initially tried using Supabase’s built-in Apple OAuth provider:
Configured with team ID, key ID, and JWT credentials
Proper redirect URLs and scheme were in place
Resulted in OAuth URL pointing to Supabase instead of Apple, with incomplete client ID
Ultimately moved to native implementation for improved control and reliability
Attempt 2: Native Apple Sign In (Current Approach)
Using expo-apple-authentication with the following code:
const credential = await AppleAuthentication.signInAsync({
requestedScopes: [
AppleAuthentication.AppleAuthenticationScope.FULL_NAME,
AppleAuthentication.AppleAuthenticationScope.EMAIL,
],
});
Relevant app.config.js Section:
ios: {
bundleIdentifier: 'com.example.appname.nativetest',
usesAppleSignIn: true,
infoPlist: {
NSAppTransportSecurity: {
NSAllowsArbitraryLoads: true,
NSAllowsLocalNetworking: true,
},
},
},
plugins: ['expo-apple-authentication']
Observed Behavior
AppleAuthentication.isAvailableAsync() → true
Credential state → NOT_FOUND (expected for new user)
Apple Sign In dialog appears and allows interaction
User taps "Continue" → dialog reports "Sign up not completed"
Eventually returns: [Error: The user canceled the authorization attempt], code ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED
Confirmed Working Aspects
AppleAuthentication API is available and initialized
App is signed correctly and launches on the physical test device
Apple Sign In dialog appears with correct styling and options
Same result observed across both Wi-Fi and cellular networks
Clean Setup and Debugging Performed
Removed all previous build artifacts
Created a new App ID and new provisioning profile
Rebuilt the app using expo run:ios --device
Validated entitlements and provisioning assignments
Removed any Services IDs and Apple Sign In keys used in previous attempts
Verified ATS (App Transport Security) policies allow dev-time communication
Environment Information
Device: iPhone (not simulator)
iOS Version: 18.5
Xcode: Latest version
Apple ID: Developer account with 2FA enabled
Build Method: EAS CLI using expo run:ios --device
Open Questions
Has anyone experienced the "Sign up not completed" issue with a clean native implementation in Expo?
Are there known limitations when testing Apple Sign In in local development builds?
Could prior Apple ID authorization attempts impact sign-in behavior during testing?
Are there any additional configuration steps, Info.plist changes, or entitlements required beyond those listed above?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or guidance. We’re hoping this is simply a configuration detail that needs to be adjusted.
