🍏 Sign in with Apple is essential for native mobile applications, especially for iOS App Store approval. It simplifies account creation and enhances security.
📱 When building native applications, you must provide Sign in with Apple if using third-party social login services.
🚀 We will focus on building with React Native using Expo. Testing can be done without an Apple developer account using Expo Go.
🛠️ To start, create a new Expo project using a TypeScript template. Name it Apple O and install dependencies.
📂 Open the project in VS Code and run it with npm run iOS to launch the iOS simulator.
🔑 Add Apple authentication by installing the Expo authentication package and configuring the app settings in app.json.
🆕 Create a new component for Apple authentication and set up the button to initiate the sign-in process.
📜 After signing in, you will receive an identity token which is a JWT. This token is crucial for completing the sign-up with Superbase.
🔄 Register the Expo client ID in your Superbase account and enable Apple authentication.
⚙️ Install Superbase JS and set up the client for React Native, ensuring to use Async Storage for session data.
✅ Use the identity token to sign in with Superbase and verify that the user is created successfully.
📈 Once testing is complete, register your own app ID with Apple and update your Superbase configuration for production.
🎉 Your app is now ready for release on the iOS App Store! Thanks for tuning in!
