We are working on a PoC iOS App to use "Sign in with Apple" on iOS. The app needs to authenticate the current user on MDM managed corporate iPads (with Shared iPad enabled) and each user having a Managed Apple ID (created in Apple Business Manager).
We have started with Apple's example app:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/implementing-user-authentication-with-sign-in-with-apple
When we run it on a normal iPad (without MDM supervision) it works fine.
When we run the same code on a managed iPad with Shared iPad enabled and Managed Apple ID's the app errors out when a user taps the "Sign in with Apple" button.
A User-facing error message is displayed:
“Your Apple Account cannot be used to create accounts for other apps.”
And when we run the app from Xcode we see the following logs:
Authorization failed: Error Domain=AKAuthenticationError Code=-7027 "(null)" UserInfo={AKClientBundleID=com.sampleapp.test2}
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=72, _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=72, _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=1000 "(null)"
Could not authenticate: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1000.)
We have confirmed that in ABM "Sign in with Apple" feature is enabled with "Allowed apps": "All apps".
We have also confirmed that the Managed AppleIDs created in ABM have no field to provide the birthday of the user and therefore ruling out age restrictions for "Sign in with Apple".
Is "Sign in with Apple" supported in MDM managed iPADs with
Shared iPad enabled and managed AppleIDs?
If it is supported, do we know what other configurations we need to get it to work?
Do we know why "Sign in with Apple" would error out with
Authorization failed: Error Domain=AKAuthenticationError Code=-7027 "(null)" UserInfo={AKClientBundleID=com.sampleapp.test2} 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=72,
Environment:
• iPadOS version: IPadOS Version 18.7
• Xcode version: Version 26.0 (17A324)
• Device type: iPad Air 11-inch (M3) in Shared iPad mode
• Account type: Managed Apple ID created in ABM enrolled with Intune MDM)

Hello,
We received a rejection on one of our IOS applications because we were doing Microsoft MSAL login through the user's browser. The representative recommended that we use Webview to do in-app logins. However when we tried to handle the custom app uri redirection (looking like myapp://auth/), Webview does not seem to send the user back to the application. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks!

"Our app has absolutely no integration with DiDi login. We only integrate WeChat, QQ, carrier, and Apple ID login, and all related login entry icons are local resources. On an iPhone 16 Pro Max device with iOS system version 18.7, there was one isolated incident where the Apple ID login entry icon mysteriously changed to the DiDi app icon. What could be the possible iOS system-level causes for this?"

Hi Team,
We are trying to understand deep sleep behaviour, can you please help us clarifying on the below questions:
When will we configure Hibernate 25, is it valid for M series MacBooks?
Is Hibernate 25 called deep sleep mode?
What are the settings I need to do on Mac, to make my Mac go in to deep sleep?
When awakening from deep sleep , what would be macOS system behaviour?
If we have custom SFAuthorization plug in at system.login.screensaver, what would be the behaviour with deep sleep?
Hi all, I've on high alert after hearing about the security concerns with npm. Full disclosure, I'm new to computer and network architecture, however, as someone who is on high alert for aplications exfiltrating data or poisioning my on-device machine learning models — I've seen some things I can't fully explain and I'm hoping the community can help.
I ran the code odutil show all and I was wondering why certain node names are hidden in my system and when I use the directory utility, I can't use my computer login and password to authenticate to see the users? Am I being locked out of seeing my own system? I'm trying to dig to see if a root kit was installed on my device.
Does anyone know what the users and groups in the directory utility are? Who is "nobody" and who is "Unknown user"? I'll probably have a lot more questions about this suspicious files I've seen on my device. Does anyone else's device download machine learning model payloads from the internet without notifying the user (even through a firewall, no startup applications?). I've also tried deleting applications I no longer need anymore and my "system" makes them re-appear.... what?

My application is supporting hybrid transport on FIDO2 webAuthn specs to create credential and assertion. And it support legacy passkeys which only mean to save to 1 device and not eligible to backup.
However In my case, if i set the Backup Eligibility and Backup State flag to false, it fails on the completion of the registrationRequest to save the passkey credential within credential extension, the status is false instead of true.
self.extension.completeRegistrationRequest(using: passkeyRegistrationCredential)
The attestation and assertion flow only works when both flags set to true.
Can advice why its must have to set both to true in this case?
Hi,
Before I begin my investigation, I want to explain our code-level support process for issues related to Sign in with Apple—as the issue you’re reporting may be the result of any of the following:
An error in your app or web service request.
A configuration issue in your Developer Account.
An internal issue in the operation system or Apple ID servers.
To ensure the issue is not caused by an error within your app or web service request, please review TN3107: Resolving Sign in with Apple response errors to learn more about common error causes and potential solutions when performing requests.
If the technote does not help identify the cause of the error, I need more information about your app or web services to get started. To prevent sending sensitive JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) in plain text, you should create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below. Additionally, if I determine the error is caused by an internal issue in the operating system or Apple ID servers, the appropriate engineering teams have access to the same information and can communicate with you directly for more information, if needed. Please follow the instructions below to submit your feedback.
Gathering required information for troubleshooting Sign in with Apple authorization and token requests
For issues occurring with your native app, perform the following steps:
Install the Accounts/AuthKit profile on your iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, or visionOS device.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, or visionOS device.
Create a report in Feedback Assistant, and ensure your feedback contains the following information:
the primary App ID or Bundle ID
the user’s Apple ID, email address, and/or identity token
the sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue
the timestamp of when the issue was reproduced
screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional)
For issues occurring with your web service, ensure your feedback contains the following information:
the primary App ID and Services ID
the user’s Apple ID, email address, and/or identity token
the failing request, including all parameter values, and error responses (if applicable)
the timestamp of when the issue was reproduced (optional)
screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional)
Important: If providing a web service request, please ensure the client secret (JWT) has an extended expiration time (exp) of at least ten (10) business days, so I have enough time to diagnose the issue. Additionally, if your request requires access token or refresh tokens, please provide refresh tokens as they do not have a time-based expiration time; most access tokens have a maximum lifetime of one (1) hour, and will expire before I have a chance to look at the issue.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above (for your native app or web service) is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Sign in with Apple client.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your client, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.
Cheers,
Paris X Pinkney | WWDR | DTS Engineer

Hi,
A user logs in to the file vault, and DisableFDEAutoLogin is false. The file vault login succeeds, but the login to the selected user fails. The user gets the login screen again. If the user puts an invalid password to try and login again, the loginwindow:FDESupport plugin will change the user's password to the invalid one.
Hi,
I have a set of plugins which are registered for login.
One of them is a custom ui view for the login screen.
The scenario:
1.DisableFDEAutoLogin is false.
2.The User logs in to the file vault login screen.
3.The security plugins are activated, and working.
4.We get any kind of an error from the plugins, and therefore the login fails.
5.We get a native login screen, after the denial of authorization.
6.In case that DisableFDEAutoLogin is true, I do get the custom login screen, after the file vault login.
My question:
Why dont I see the custom login screen, after the auto login fails?
Cheers

Hi ,
I have a requirement like,
Develop an app for iPad and app uses .net core apis.
App will be in kiosk mode, and app doesn't have any type of authentication even OTP also.
As the apis will be publishing to all over internet, how can we achieve security to apis?
Kindly provide suggestions for this implementation
I keep getting the following error when trying to run Passkey sign in on macOS.
Told not to present authorization sheet: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServicesCore.AuthorizationError Code=1 "(null)"
ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "(null)"
This is the specific error.
Application with identifier a is not associated with domain b
I have config the apple-app-site-association link and use ?mode=developer
Could there be any reason for this?

Hello everyone.
Hope this one finds you well)
I have an issue with integrating a FIDO2 server with ASAuthorizationController.
I have managed to register a user with passkey successfully, however when authenticating, the request for authentication response fails. The server can't validate signature field.
I can see 2 possible causes for the issue: ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialAssertion.rawAuthenticatorData contains invalid algorithm information (the server tries ES256, which ultimately fails with false response), or I have messed up Base64URL encoding for the signature property (which is unlikely, since all other fields also require Base64URL, and the server consumes them with no issues).
So the question is, what encryption algorithm does ASAuthorizationController use? Maybe someone has other ideas regarding where to look into?
Please help. Thanks)
I am working on implementing mTLS authentication in my iOS app (Apple Inhouse & intune MAM managed app). The SCEP client certificate is deployed on the device via Intune MDM. When I try accessing the protected endpoint via SFSafariViewController/ASWebAuthenticationSession, the certificate picker appears and the request succeeds. However, from within my app (using URLSessionDelegate), the certificate is not found (errSecItemNotFound).
The didReceive challenge method is called, but my SCEP certificate is not found in the app. The certificate is visible under Settings > Device Management > SCEP Certificate.
How can I make my iOS app access and use the SCEP certificate (installed via Intune MDM) for mTLS requests?
Do I need a special entitlement, keychain access group, or configuration in Intune or Developer account to allow my app to use the certificate?
Here is the sample code I am using:
final class KeychainCertificateDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDelegate {
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession,
didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge,
completionHandler: @escaping (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) {
guard challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod == NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate else {
completionHandler(.performDefaultHandling, nil)
return
}
// Get the DNs the server will accept
guard let expectedDNs = challenge.protectionSpace.distinguishedNames else {
completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
return
}
var identityRefs: CFTypeRef? = nil
let err = SecItemCopyMatching([
kSecClass: kSecClassIdentity,
kSecMatchLimit: kSecMatchLimitAll,
kSecMatchIssuers: expectedDNs,
kSecReturnRef: true,
] as NSDictionary, &identityRefs)
if err != errSecSuccess {
completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
return
}
guard let identities = identityRefs as? [SecIdentity],
let identity = identities.first
else {
print("Identity list is empty")
completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
return
}
let credential = URLCredential(identity: identity, certificates: nil, persistence: .forSession)
completionHandler(.useCredential, credential)
}
}
func perform_mTLSRequest() {
guard let url = URL(string: "https://sample.com/api/endpoint") else {
return
}
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.setValue("Bearer \(bearerToken)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
let delegate = KeychainCertificateDelegate()
let session = URLSession(configuration: .ephemeral, delegate: delegate, delegateQueue: nil)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, (200...299).contains(httpResponse.statusCode) else {
print("Bad response")
return
}
if let data = data {
print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
}
}
task.resume()
}
Hi,
We are using the MSAL library to authenticate users, with SSO authentication implemented through the Microsoft Authenticator app.
The problem is that once or twice a day, a prompt for forced authentication appears, indicating that silent token acquisition is failing and resulting in a requirement for forced authentication. Below are some of the logs:
=================================================
2025-08-28 11:00:05.034 [Info] [AppDelegate.swift:121] application(:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) > MSAL message: TID=751353 MSAL 1.8.1 iOS 18.5 [2025-08-28 10:00:05 - EC9D1457-2D70-4878-926F-553391EBC9D3] [MSAL] Silent flow finished. Result (null), error: -51115 error domain: MSIDErrorDomain
2025-08-28 11:00:05.034 [Info] [AppDelegate.swift:121] application(:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) > MSAL message: TID=751353 MSAL 1.8.1 iOS 18.5 [2025-08-28 10:00:05 - EC9D1457-2D70-4878-926F-553391EBC9D3] [MSAL] acquireTokenSilent returning with error: (MSALErrorDomain, -50002) Masked(not-null)
====================================================
We initially raised this issue with Microsoft, but according to them:
In the app's logs, the single one failure it contains, was when the SSO extension returned the error com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError, -6000 during a silent call. This error code is generated by the system framework (Apple), not by our code. It indicates that the framework encountered an unexpected internal issue before or after calling the SSO extension.
MSAL returning interaction_required to the client app is the most effective way to recover from this error (as you mention, after the user selects the account the app continues working as expected).
Additionally, as you also mention, the interactive call is made by switching to Authenticator (not displaying a "window" without leaving Eva Lite app), which means MSAL is not able to use the SSO extension and is using the fallback to legacy authentication.
The recommended next step is for the customer to request support directly from Apple as this is an issue on their side. Additionally, the customer can also try to update to the latest iOS, in case Apple has already fixed this issue.
=============================================
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
There is no such steps its just that this is an enterprise application which is getting used on managed devices[iPhone 14]. The device are managed using some intune policy.
Platform and Version:
iOS
Development Environment: Xcode 15, macOS 13.6.1
Run-time Configuration: iOS 18
Please let me know if there are any solutions to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Hello Apple Team
We are integrating App Attest with our backend and seeing a 400 Bad Request response when calling the attestation endpoint. The issue is that the response does not include an X-Request-ID or JSON error payload with id and code, which makes it hard to diagnose. Instead, it only returns a receipt blob.
Request Details

Response Body (truncated):
"receipt": h'308006092A864886F70D01070...
Problem
The response does not include X-Request-ID.
The response does not include JSON with id or code.
Only a receipt blob is returned.
Questions
Can the x-b3-traceid be used by Apple to trace this failed request internally?
Is it expected for some failures to return only a receipt blob without X-Request-ID?
How should we interpret this error so we can handle it properly in production?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Hello
I'm using Auth0 for handling auth in my app
When the user wants to sign in, it will show the auth system pop-up
And when the user wants to log out it shows the same pop-up
My issue is how to replace the Sign In text in this pop-up to show Sign Out instead of Sign In when the user wants to sign out?
Hello everyone,
I'm developing a FIDO2 service using the AuthenticationServices framework. I've run into an issue when a user manually deletes a passkey from their password manager.
When this happens, the ASAuthorizationError I get doesn't clearly indicate that the passkey is missing. The error code is 1001, and the localizedDescription is "The operation couldn't be completed. No credentials available for login." The userInfo also contains "NSLocalizedFailureReason": "No credentials available for login."
My concern is that these localized strings will change depending on the user's device language, making it unreliable for me to programmatically check for a "no credentials" scenario.
Is there a more precise way to determine that the user has no passkey, without relying on localized string values?
Thank you for your help.

Hello Developers,
I have ran into a problem while sending mail to apple private relay email. We have built a mobile application where user can sign up through apple and they can sign up using hide-my-email feature. Which provides private relay address for us. Now we want to communicate with them using private relay mail address. The technology we are using to send emails are amazon SES, have done SPF, DMIK, DMARC and added domains in apple identity services for mail communication, passed an SPF check as well. But still mail is not getting delivered
what am i doing wrong or apple doesn't support third party apps for sending emails to private relay? Is there any other way to achieve this please let me know
Using the same body as attached in image is working fine for rest emails.

We are interested in using a hardware-bound key in a launch daemon. In a previous post, Quinn explicitly told me this is not possible to use an SE keypair outside of the system context and my reading of the Apple documentation also supports that.
That said, we have gotten the following key-creation and persistence flow to work, so we have some questions as to how this fits in with the above.
(1) In a launch daemon (running thus as root), we do:
let key = SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey()
(2) We then use
key.dataRepresentation
to store a reference to the key in the system keychain as a kSecClassGenericPassword.
(3) When we want to use the key, we fetch the data representation from system keychain and we "rehydrate" the key using:
SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey(dataRepresentation: data)
(4) We then use the output of the above to sign whatever we want.
My questions:
in the above flow, are we actually getting a hardware-bound key from the Secure Enclave or is this working because it's actually defaulting to a non-hardware-backed key?
if it is an SE key, is it that the Apple documentation stating that you can only use the SE with the Data Protection Keychain in the user context is outdated (or wrong)?
does the above work, but is not an approach sanctioned by Apple?
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
