Sign In with Apple

🚨 As of April 2020, all native iOS apps that offer social auth methods (Google, Facebook, etc.) MUST also include Apple Sign In as an option. See the official guidance from Apple.

Follow the steps outlined below to implement Sign In with Apple in a Flutter iOS app.

This section assumes that you are an Apple Developer member and have an existing team account linked to your iOS app.

Step 1 - Add the Capability in Xcode

Add the Sign In with Apple capability from Xcode. Make sure to include it on all your build types.

Step 2 - Enable it in Firebase

Enable the Apple authentication method in Firebase. Do not worry about the OAuth flow, it is only required for web apps.

Enable Apple on the Firebase Authentication tab

Install apple_sign_in

Install the apple_sign_in package in your project (and of course firebase_auth).

Auth Service

The auth service provides an appleSignIn method that will trigger a dialog for the user to authenticate with their Apple ID. After the user signs in with Apple, the resulting token is used to create an AuthCredential for to sign in as FirebaseUser.

auth.dart

import 'package:apple_sign_in/apple_sign_in.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';

class AuthService {

  // Determine if Apple SignIn is available
  Future<bool> get appleSignInAvailable => AppleSignIn.isAvailable();

  /// Sign in with Apple
  Future<FirebaseUser> appleSignIn() async {
    try {

      final AuthorizationResult appleResult = await AppleSignIn.performRequests([
        AppleIdRequest(requestedScopes: [Scope.email, Scope.fullName])
      ]);

      if (appleResult.error != null) {
        // handle errors from Apple here
      }

      final AuthCredential credential = OAuthProvider(providerId: 'apple.com').getCredential(
        accessToken: String.fromCharCodes(appleResult.credential.authorizationCode),
        idToken: String.fromCharCodes(appleResult.credential.identityToken),
      );

      AuthResult firebaseResult = await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential);
      FirebaseUser user = firebaseResult.user;

      // Optional, Update user data in Firestore
      updateUserData(user);

      return user;
    } catch (error) {
      print(error);
      return null;
    }
  }
}

We should only show the Sign In with Apple button when it’s available on the device. Use a FutureBuilder to check availability, then show the prebuilt button from the apple_sign_in package.

import 'package:apple_sign_in/apple_sign_in.dart';

AuthService auth = AuthService();

FutureBuilder(
    future: auth.appleSignInAvailable,
    builder: (context, snapshot) {
    
    if (snapshot.data == true) {
        return AppleSignInButton(
          onPressed: () async { 
            FirebaseUser user = await auth.appleSignIn();
            if (user != null) {
              Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/topics');
            }
          },
        );
    } else {
        return Container();
    }
  },
),
