Add Apple authentication to your app

1. 1

   Ask Lovable to add an Apple sign-in button to your app.

   This is the easiest way to enable Apple sign-in, as Lovable will manage everything for you without needing an Apple Developer account.

2. 2

   Check that a 'Sign in with Apple' button appears on your app's login page.

   This confirms that the feature has been successfully added to your app's interface.

3. 3

   Try signing in with an Apple account and make sure you are redirected to Apple, then back to your app in a signed-in state.

   This verifies that the sign-in process works correctly from start to finish.

4. 4

   Go to the 'Cloud' tab, then 'Users', and confirm that new users who sign in with Apple appear in the list.

   This ensures that your app is properly registering and managing users who sign in using their Apple account.

Redirect URL

The specific web address where Apple sends users back to your app after they successfully sign in.

App ID

A unique identifier for your app within the Apple ecosystem.

Services ID

A specific identifier used for web-based sign-in flows with Apple.

• If you choose to use your own Apple Developer credentials, your client secret will expire every 6 months, and you must generate a new one to keep Apple sign-in working.
• If users see a redirect or invalid client error, it means the return URLs you entered in your Apple Developer account do not exactly match the redirect URLs provided by Lovable.
• Switching between Lovable-managed and your own Apple credentials after users have signed up might cause existing Apple users to not be recognized when they try to sign in again.
