How to keep Sign in with Apple users signed in after app transfer?
I'm currently transferring an iOS app to a new Apple Developer account and following the process outlined in Apple’s documentation: 🔗 TN3159 - Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer The process for generating transfer_identifiers and migrating existing users is clear, and I don’t expect issues with that part. However, I have a question about preserving the user session after the transfer. My setup: The app uses Sign in with Apple via a backend-based authentication flow. On login, the app retrieves the authorization_code and sends it to the backend. The backend exchanges the code for tokens from Apple, including a refresh_token. That refresh_token is then used on the backend to validate the user’s identity on subsequent requests. My concern: Once I initiate the app transfer, migrate users, and update the backend with new Apple credentials (client ID, team ID, etc.), I assume that the existing tokens issued under the old credentials will become invalid. So my question is: Is there a way to maintain the user’s authenticated session through this transition without requiring them to manually sign in again? I’d like to ensure a seamless experience for users, if possible.

Guideline 4.0 - Design
Our app got rejected with below reason Your app offers Sign in with Apple as a login option but does not follow the design and user experience requirements for Sign in with Apple. Specifically: Your app requires users to provide their name and/or email address after using Sign in with Apple. This information is already provided by the Authentication Services framework. These requirements provide the consistent experience users expect when using Sign In with Apple to authenticate or login to an account. We have an option to login to our app with Apple sign in The user must have a valid account with a valid email id, that created from the web and the user must complete all onboarding program In the app once the user sign-in using Apple login, we will check for the email ID is hidden or not, if it is hidden we cant log in because we must have a valid email id. So we show a modal with " We can't log you in because your email is hidden. Please select "Share My Email" to continue or use the regular email login option" If user shares an email, then will check for account exists for that email or not,if yes, it will allow to log-in to the app How can I sort out this problem?

Question about revoke the token in 'Sign in with Apple'
News link: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12m75xbj If your app offers Sign in with Apple, you’ll need to use the Sign in with Apple REST API to revoke user tokens when deleting an account. I'm not good English. I'm confused about the above sentence Do I have to use REST API unconditionally or can I just delete to the account data?

About Configure Sign in with Apple for Email Communication
In response to inquiries from users, we have confirmed the following phenomenon. If you select "Private email address" in the flow of new user registration with Apple ID, you will not receive the verification code email when performing two-factor authentication. ■User impact If you use your Apple ID to link an external account without making your email address public, you will not receive the authentication code during two-factor authentication and will not be able to proceed. The date and time of the impact is currently unknown. ◎Impact 1: New registration If you select "Private email address" in the flow of registering a new user with Apple ID, the verification code will not be received during two-factor authentication and registration will not be completed. ◎Impact 2: Login of existing account When two-factor authentication is required for an existing account registered with Apple ID set to "Private email address," the verification code is not received and the user cannot log in. →If you have not registered a login method other than Apple ID for the relevant account, there is no other way to log in. ■About workarounds ・I thought that I could avoid this issue by canceling the private setting of my Apple ID, but I was unable to do so. →There is currently no workaround found for existing users who are experiencing this issue. ・However, the scope of influence is limited. ■Cause investigation status Premise: For an Apple ID whose email address is not made public, the two-factor authentication authentication code email follows the following route. ①CDC/GIGYA miraiz-persol.jp (SendGrid) Apple's email server (relay server to hide the user's real email address) User mailbox →Since '1' are working, the problem seems to have occurred after the connection from ② or ③. (At this stage, we cannot determine who is at fault: the user, MIRAIZ, or Apple. We are currently investigating.) ◎Hypothesis ・Is there something wrong with Apple's mail server? ・Is it not delivered because the user's mailbox is full? ■Questions, research, and responses we would like to receive Please check the following two points and reply. 1st point As shown in the attached image, there seems to be no problem with the SPF settings. Is it possible to check to see if any errors have occurred with Apple's mail server? 2nd point Are there any cases where you still can't receive emails even if you deactivate your Apple ID? I would like to know if there are any patterns in which emails are not being delivered in terms of past inquiries or overall specifications

Sign in with Apple Sync Issues Across Teams
We have 2 developers: Developer A created a Bundle ID and configured Sign in with Apple, but didn't create a corresponding App. This Bundle ID is only used for login on our official website. Developer B created a Bundle ID, configured Sign in with Apple, and has a corresponding App. The issue we're encountering is that because these two Bundle IDs are under different teams, when using the same Apple ID to log into these two applications, different accounts are generated. (We've tested that when creating Service IDs under the same team, logging in with Bundle IDs under the same team generates the same account.) Since Developer A's Bundle ID doesn't have a created app, it cannot be transferred to Developer B. Therefore, we'd like to know if there's any way to make the accounts generated from logging in with the same Apple ID be identical across these two teams?

Name transfer of web shopping mall-based apps (due to changes in business information), Apple login function and synchronization of existing membership information
Hello We would like to proceed with the transfer of ownership of the launched app based on the Cafe24 platform.(Web App) Last month, I inquired about how to transfer the Apple account login function together when transferring ownership and received a related manual. When I asked and inquired about help from several developers regarding that part, they all received different answers. Please review the answers below, and I would really appreciate it if you could guide me on how to proceed. Developer 1: Cafe24-based launch apps require a separate transfer of the login function. It does not affect if you do not delete the existing member data in the database, and you only need to activate the login function to the new developer account. Developer 2: Checking and analyzing existing servers and data - Transfer user data to Apple using Apple's Legacy User Identifier - Synchronize user data - Test and modify It has to proceed to the above four steps, and synchronization work is also required to maintain all of the existing user's data because all of the user's identification values change when the login function is transferred. Developer 3: It appears to be a task that needs to be stored in the server database by migrating from the user identifier created in the existing developer account to the user identifier to be used in the new developer account, which is not what the app is supposed to do, and it is recommended to find other experts. Thank you.

Assistance Required to Resolve Email Delivery Issue for "Sign in with Apple" Verification Emails
Hello Apple Developer Community, We are experiencing an issue with email delivery when users sign in using "Sign in with Apple" on our platform. We need assistance in understanding and resolving this problem. Issue Description: When users choose to hide their email during the "Sign in with Apple" process, Apple provides a private relay email address (e.g., xxxx@xxx). These private relay email addresses are successfully received and stored in our system via the OIDC protocol implemented on Keycloak. Verification emails are sent from our configured email address to the private relay email addresses. However, users do not receive these emails, and we suspect they are not being forwarded to the user’s actual email address. Steps Taken: Sender Address Configuration: We have verified that our email is properly set up and authorized to send emails. DNS Records: Our DNS records (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) are configured to comply with email authentication standards. Whitelisting Sender Address: We attempted to whitelist the sender address as per recommendations but have not seen any improvement. Questions: Are there additional DNS configurations or records required for the Apple private relay to forward emails properly? Is there a process to validate our sender address with Apple to ensure email forwarding works? Are there specific guidelines or restrictions for sending emails to privaterelay.appleid.com addresses that we should follow? Is there a way to verify if Apple’s private relay email service is functioning correctly for our domain? Relevant Information: We use Keycloak to implement the OIDC protocol and store the private relay email address during the "Sign in with Apple" process. Our verification emails are sent from our email address. We have referred to the Apple documentation and community posts but could not find a clear resolution. Any guidance or recommendations from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support!
