Using 'Sign in With Apple'(Logging in With Apple)

Flow of the Process

  1. Log in with an Apple account using the 'Sign in with Apple' function

    1. Obtain an Apple identity Token

    2. Obtain a BACKND Access token by verifying the Apple identity Token

    3. Log in to the BACKND server using the BACKND Access token

    4. Once you obtain the access token, you can use it to perform a token login. For more information on the token, refer to the relevant documentation.

Caution
  • Sign in with Apple works properly only in iOS 13.0 or later.
    • The function requires macOS 10.14(Mojave) or 10.15(Catalina) and Xcode 11 for iOS 13.0.
    • Also, to use this method in an application under development, you must first enable 'Sign in with Apple' in the Apple Developer Portal.
    • For more information, refer to Support for Apple Sign in.
  • Caution when transferring a game between Apple developer accounts
    When transferring a game to another account from the account you first operated on, the Team ID will be changed, bringing upon changes in the unique values(sku of each user) for when users log in. Due to this, you cannot log in using the previous information. This is due to Apple's policy, and if you wish to provide a stable gaming service, BACKND's paid technical support is necessary. If you wish to proceed with the transfer, please make an inquiry to the community or help@thebackend.io in advance to prevent any inconvenience that may occur when operating your game.
