Hello,
I am currently process of migrating an app from Team A to Team B and attempting to generate transfer identifiers using the migration endpoint:
POST https://appleid.apple.com/auth/usermigrationinfo.
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
However, I am consistently receiving an
{
"error": "access_denied"
} response.
[Current Configuration]
Team A (Source):
Primary App ID: com.example.primary
Grouped App IDs:
com.example.service (Services ID for Web)
com.example.app (App ID for iOS - The one being transferred)
All identifiers are under the same App Group.
Team B (Destination):
New App ID and Key created.
[Steps Taken]
Created a Client Secret (JWT) using Team A's Key ID and Team ID.
The sub (subject) in the JWT is set to the Primary App ID of Team A.
Requesting with client_id (Primary App ID), client_secret (JWT), and user_token.
[Questions]
1. App Group Impact: Does the fact that the App being transferred is a Grouped App ID (not the Primary) affect the usermigrationinfo request? Should I use the Primary App ID or the specific Grouped App ID as the client_id?
2. Ungrouping Safety: If I need to ungroup the App ID from the Primary App ID to resolve this:
Will existing users still be able to sign in without issues?
Is there any risk of changing the sub (user identifier) that the app receives from Apple?
Will this cause any immediate service interruption for the live app?
Any insights on why access_denied occurs in this Primary-Grouped configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the lifecycle of user consent and tokens in "Sign in with Apple." Specifically, I would like to understand the behavior of the auth/revoke API in relation to App Store Connect status changes.
Impact of App Status Changes If an app is "Removed from Sale" or "Deleted" from App Store Connect, does Apple automatically revoke all associated user tokens and consent? Or is it still the developer's responsibility to programmatically revoke each user's token via the REST API to ensure the app is removed from the user’s "Apps Using Apple ID" list?
API Availability after Removal Once an app is no longer available on the App Store (or its record is deleted in App Store Connect), is the auth/revoke REST API still accessible? I want to ensure that a developer can still perform necessary privacy clean-up tasks (revoking consent) even if the app is not currently distributed.
Specific User Impacts of Non-Revocation If we do not call the revocation API, besides the app remaining in the "Sign in with Apple" list, what are the specific consequences for the user?
Thank you for your guidance.
Can someone please guide me on the entire process of integrating ads in an IOS application using google's admob sdk? Not related to code but things related to Apple's privacy policy. Which options do need to select or specify in my app profile's privacy policy (identifier) section?
I am currently unable to enable passkey in my app so I am having to tell my users to skip the prompts for using passkey. We have noticed that after a few times of this the OS will stop asking the user to register their passkey. The question is, how long does this last before the OS asks you to use passkey again? Is it permanent until you re-install the app? Just looking for a time frame if anyone knows.

I'm implementing Apple Sign-In in my Next.js application with a NestJS backend. After the user authenticates with Apple, instead of redirecting to my configured callback URL, the browser makes a POST request to a mysterious endpoint /appleauth/auth/federate that doesn't exist in my codebase, resulting in a 404 error.
Tech Stack
Frontend: Next.js 16.0.10, React 19.2.0
Backend: NestJS with Passport (using @arendajaelu/nestjs-passport-apple)
Frontend URL: https://myapp.example.com
Backend URL: https://api.example.com
Apple Developer Configuration
Service ID: (configured correctly in Apple Developer Console)
Return URL (only one configured):
https://api.example.com/api/v1/auth/apple/callback
Domains verified in Apple Developer Console:
myapp.example.com
api.example.com
example.com
Backend Configuration
NestJS Controller (auth.controller.ts):
typescript
@Public()
@Get('apple')
@UseGuards(AuthGuard('apple'))
async appleAuth() {
// Initiates Apple OAuth flow
}
@Public()
@Post('apple/callback') // Changed from @Get to @Post for form_post
@UseGuards(AuthGuard('apple'))
async appleAuthCallback(@Req() req: any, @Res() res: any) {
const result = await this.authService.socialLogin(req.user, ipAddress, userAgent);
// Returns HTML with tokens that uses postMessage to send to opener window
}
Environment Variables:
typescript
APPLE_CLIENT_ID=<service_id>
APPLE_TEAM_ID=<team_id>
APPLE_KEY_ID=<key_id>
APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=./certs/AuthKey_XXX.p8
APPLE_CALLBACK_URL=https://api.example.com/api/v1/auth/apple/callback
FRONTEND_URL=https://myapp.example.com
The passport-apple strategy uses response_mode: 'form_post', so Apple POSTs the authorization response to the callback URL.
Frontend Implementation
Next.js API Route (/src/app/api/auth/apple/route.js):
javascript
export async function GET(request) {
const backendUrl = new URL(`${API_URL}/auth/apple`);
const response = await fetch(backendUrl.toString(), {
method: "GET",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
});
const responseText = await response.text();
return new NextResponse(responseText, {
status: response.status,
headers: { "Content-Type": contentType || "text/html" },
});
}
Frontend Auth Handler:
javascript
export const handleAppleLogin = (router, setApiError) => {
const frontendUrl = window?.location?.origin;
// Opens popup to /api/auth/apple
window.open(
`${frontendUrl}/api/auth/apple`,
"appleLogin",
"width=500,height=600"
);
};
The Problem
Expected Flow:
User clicks "Login with Apple"
Frontend opens popup → https://myapp.example.com/api/auth/apple
Frontend proxies to → https://api.example.com/api/v1/auth/apple
Backend redirects to Apple's authentication page
User authenticates with Apple ID
Apple POSTs back to → https://api.example.com/api/v1/auth/apple/callback
Backend processes and returns success HTML
Actual Behavior:
After step 5 (user authentication with Apple), instead of Apple redirecting to my callback URL, the browser makes this unexpected request:
POST https://myapp.example.com/appleauth/auth/federate?isRememberMeEnabled=false
Status: 404 Not Found
Request Payload:
json
{
"accountName": "user@example.com",
"rememberMe": false
}
Network Tab Analysis
From Chrome DevTools, the call stack shows:
send @ app.js:234
ajax @ app.js:234
(anonymous) @ app.js:10
Ee.isFederated @ app.js:666
_callAuthFederate @ app.js:666
The Ee.isFederated and _callAuthFederate functions appear to be minified library code, but I cannot identify which library.
What I've Verified
✅ The /appleauth/auth/federate endpoint does not exist anywhere in my codebase:
bash
grep -r "appleauth" src/ # No results
grep -r "federate" src/ # No results
✅ Apple Developer Console shows only ONE Return URL configured (verified multiple times)
✅ Changed callback route from @Get to @Post to handle form_post response mode
✅ Rebuilt frontend completely multiple times:
bash
rm -rf .next
npm run build
✅ Tested in:
Incognito/Private browsing mode
Different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Different devices
After clearing all cache and cookies
✅ No service workers registered in the application
✅ No external <script> tags or CDN libraries loaded
✅ package.json contains no AWS Amplify, Auth0, Cognito, or similar federated auth libraries
✅ Checked layout.js and all root-level files - no external scripts
Additional Context
Google Sign-In works perfectly fine using the same approach
The mysterious endpoint uses a different path structure (/appleauth/ vs /api/auth/)
The call appears to originate from client-side JavaScript (based on the call stack)
The app.js file with the mysterious functions is the built Next.js bundle
Questions
Where could this /appleauth/auth/federate endpoint be coming from?
Why is the browser making this POST request instead of following Apple's redirect to my configured callback URL?
Could this be related to the response_mode: 'form_post' in the Apple Passport strategy?
Is there something in the Apple Developer Primary App ID configuration that could trigger this behavior?
Could this be a Next.js build artifact or some hidden dependency?
The mysterious call stack references (Ee.isFederated, _callAuthFederate) suggest some library is intercepting the Apple authentication flow, but I cannot identify what library or where it's being loaded from. The minified function names suggest federated authentication, but I have no such libraries in my dependencies.
Has anyone encountered similar issues with Apple Sign-In where an unexpected endpoint is being called?

We're experiencing crashes in our production iOS app related to Apple's DeviceCheck framework. The crash occurs in DCAnalytics internal performance tracking, affecting some specific versions of iOS 18 (18.4.1, 18.5.0).
Crash Signature
CoreFoundation: -[__NSDictionaryM setObject:forKeyedSubscript:] + 460
DeviceCheck: -[DCAnalytics sendPerformanceForCategory:eventType:] + 236
Observed Patterns
Scenario 1 - Token Generation:
Crashed: com.appQueue
EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x0000000000000010
DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice generateTokenWithCompletionHandler:]
Thread: Background dispatch queue
Scenario 2 - Support Check:
Crashed: com.apple.main-thread
EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x0000000000000008
DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice _isSupportedReturningError:]
DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice isSupported]
Thread: Main thread
Root Cause Analysis
The DCAnalytics component within DeviceCheck attempts to insert a nil value into an NSMutableDictionary when recording performance metrics, indicating missing nil validation before dictionary operations.
Reproduction Context
Crashes occur during standard DeviceCheck API usage:
Calling DCDevice.isSupported property
Calling DCDevice.generateToken(completionHandler:) (triggered by Firebase App Check SDK)
Both operations invoke internal analytics that fail with nil insertion attempts.
Concurrency Considerations
We've implemented sequential access guards around DeviceCheck token generation to prevent race conditions, yet crashes persist. This suggests the issue likely originates within the DeviceCheck framework's internal implementation rather than concurrent access from our application code.
Note: Scenario 2 occurs through Firebase SDK's App Check integration, which internally uses DeviceCheck for attestation.
Request
Can Apple engineering confirm if this is a known issue with DeviceCheck's analytics subsystem? Is there a recommended workaround to disable DCAnalytics or ensure thread-safe DeviceCheck API usage?
Any guidance on preventing these crashes would be appreciated.
Hi, I’ve added attestation to my app, and everything worked as expected during setup. However, after deployment, I noticed some unknownSystemFailure entries in the production logs on New Relic. Could you help me understand what typically causes this error? The documentation suggests issues such as failing to generate a token. What scenarios could lead to that?
I am using Auth0 as a login manager for our app. The way Auth0 handles login is that their SDK will create a web view where the login is actually handled. Once the login is finished the session will end and the app will gain control. We are not set up for passkeys in their system and can't set up quickly to do that. Unfortunately with the new iOS "passkey is the primary login" way iOS is set up now, users are asked to use passkey when it's not supported on the backend. I don't have direct control of the login screens. Is there any way, at the app level, to tell the app to not use passkeys so that it quits showing up as an option for the users? I can't find any documentation on doing this. How can I stop passkey in my app entirely?

I'm experiencing a strange issue where ASWebAuthenticationSession works perfectly when running from Xcode (both Debug and Release), but fails on TestFlight builds.
The setup:
iOS app using ASWebAuthenticationSession for OIDC login (Keycloak)
Custom URL scheme callback (myapp://)
prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = false
The issue:
When using iOS Keychain autofill (with Face ID/Touch ID or normal iphone pw, that auto-submits the form) -> works perfectly
When manually typing credentials and clicking the login button -> fails with white screen
When it fails, the form POST from Keycloak back to my server (/signin-oidc) never reaches the server at all. The authentication session just shows a white screen.
Reproduced on:
Multiple devices (iPhone 15 Pro, etc.)
iOS 18.x
Xcode 16.x
Multiple TestFlight testers confirmed same behavior
What I've tried:
Clearing Safari cookies/data
prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = true and false
Different SameSite cookie policies on server
Verified custom URL scheme is registered and works (testing myapp://test in Safari opens the app)
Why custom URL scheme instead of Universal Links:
We couldn't get Universal Links to trigger from a js redirect (window.location.href) within ASWebAuthenticationSession. Only custom URL schemes seemed to be intercepted. If there's a way to make Universal Links work in this context, without a manual user-interaction we'd be happy to try.
iOS Keychain autofill works
The only working path is iOS Keychain autofill that requires iphone-authentication and auto-submits the form. Any manual form submission fails, but only on TestFlight - not Xcode builds.
Has anyone encountered this or know a workaround?
Is there a way (in code or on the OAuth2 server/webpage) to specify the desired window size when using ASWebAuthenticationSession on macOS? I haven't found anything, and we would prefer the window to be narrower. For one of our users, the window is even stretched to the full screen width which looks completely broken…
Hi everyone,
We just completed an App Store Connect app transfer between two developer teams and ran into what seems like an inconsistency with TN3159 (Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer).
According to the technote, both the source and destination teams should be able to call /auth/usermigrationinfo for 60 days after the transfer, even if the migration wasn’t run beforehand. However, right after the transfer completed, the source team (Team A) started receiving:
{"error":"invalid_client"}
on all /auth/usermigrationinfo requests, even though /auth/token with scope=user.migration still works fine.
What we verified before transfer:
Team A’s Sign in with Apple key (ES256) was linked to the app and Services ID.
OAuth flow for com.org.appname.web returned valid tokens, and the decoded ID token showed aud=com.org.appname.web with a valid private relay email, confirming the key was trusted.
What happens after transfer:
The key now shows “Enabled Services: —” and the App/Services IDs are no longer selectable in the Developer portal.
/auth/usermigrationinfo immediately returns invalid_client for Team A, even within the same day of the transfer.
This effectively makes Team A unable to generate transfer_sub values, blocking the migration flow TN3159 describes.
Questions:
Is Team A supposed to retain authorization to call /auth/usermigrationinfo for 60 days post-transfer?
If yes, is there any known workaround to re-authorize the key or temporarily re-bind it to the transferred identifiers?
If not, does this mean transfer_sub must be generated before transfer acceptance, contrary to how TN3159 reads?
Would really appreciate any confirmation or guidance from Apple or anyone who’s gone through this recently.
Thanks,

Sign in with Apple
We have 2 developers:
Developer A created a Bundle ID and configured Sign in with Apple, but didn't create a corresponding App. This Bundle ID is only used for login on our official website.
Developer B created a Bundle ID, configured Sign in with Apple, and has a corresponding App.
The issue we're encountering is that because these two Bundle IDs are under different teams, when using the same Apple ID to log into these two applications, different accounts are generated. (We've tested that when creating Service IDs under the same team, logging in with Bundle IDs under the same team generates the same account.)
Since Developer A's Bundle ID doesn't have a created app, it cannot be transferred to Developer B. Therefore, we'd like to know if there's any way to make the accounts generated from logging in with the same Apple ID be identical across these two teams?

I understand from the recent Apple Developer News that Korean developers are now required to register a URL to receive notifications from the Apple server when creating or modifying a Sign in With Apple Service ID. However, it is not clear whether simply registering the URL is sufficient, or if it is also mandatory to implement the real-time processing of those notifications. I am inquiring whether the processing part is also a mandatory requirement.

I've come across strange behavior with the userID property on the returned credential from a passkey attestation.
When performing a cross-device passkey assertion between iOS and Android by scanning the generated QR code on my iPhone with an Android device the returned credential object contains an empty userID.
This does not happen when performing an on device or cross-device assertion using two iPhones.
Is this expected behavior, or is there something I'm missing here? I couldn't find any more information on this in the documentation.

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a persistent 503 Server Temporarily Not Available error when trying to implement "Sign in with Apple" for my web application. I've already performed a full review of my configuration and I'm confident it's set up correctly, which makes this server-side error particularly confusing.
Problem Description:
Our web application uses Firebase Authentication to handle the "Sign in with Apple" flow. When a user clicks the sign-in button, they are correctly redirected to the appleid.apple.com authorization page. However, instead of seeing the login prompt, the page immediately displays a 503 Server Temporarily Not Available error.
This is the redirect URL being generated (with the state parameter truncated for security):
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=XXXXXX&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2FXXXXXX.firebaseapp.com%2F__%2Fauth%2Fhandler&state=AMbdmDk...&scope=email%20name&response_mode=form_post
Troubleshooting Steps Performed:
Initially, I was receiving an invalid_client error, which prompted me to meticulously verify every part of my setup. I have confirmed the following:
App ID Configuration: The "Sign in with Apple" capability is enabled for our primary App ID.
Services ID Configuration:
We have a Services ID configured specifically for this.
The "Sign in with Apple" feature is enabled on this Services ID.
The domain is registered and verified under "Domains and Subdomains".
Firebase Settings Match Apple Settings:
The Services ID from Apple is used as the Client ID in our Firebase configuration.
The Team ID is correct.
We have generated a private key, and both the Key ID and the .p8 file have been correctly uploaded to Firebase.
The key is not revoked in the Apple Developer portal.
Since the redirect to Apple is happening with the correct client_id and redirect_uri, and the error is a 5xx server error (not a 4xx client error like invalid_client), I believe our configuration is correct and the issue might be on Apple's end. This has been happening consistently for some time.
My Questions:
What could be causing a persistent 503 Server Temporarily Not Available error on the /auth/authorize endpoint when all client-side configurations appear to be correct?
What is the formal process for opening a technical support ticket (TSI) directly with Apple Developer Support for an issue like this?
Thank you for any insights or help you can provide.

Hi.
We are trying to get the access token before calling any API. The app can go in bad network areas but the token acquisition keeps happening for the network call. The devices are managed devices which means it has some policies installed. We are using MSAL lib for the authentication and we are investigating from that angle too but the below error seems to be coming from apple authentication which needs our attention.
==========================================
LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=68, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried.
Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=68, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
Failed to get application extension record: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "(null)"
ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1003 "(null)"
==========================================
This happens mostly when we switches the network or keep the device in no or low network area. This comes sometimes when app goes in background too. Just trying to give as much as information I could.
Any lead would be highly appreciated. Thank you
