What's new at GoodBarber? March 2020

on 

The month of March was disrupted all around the world by the health crisis. Even though the situation is more difficult, the GoodBarber teams have taken steps to ensure that the company's productivity does not suffer. A few weeks ago, we unveiled our new exclusive home-working organization , and it is under these conditions that our technical teams have carried out the developments listed below. We are now in our fourth week of containment and we intend to keep up the pace as long as it takes for the situation to return to normal. 

Don't forget to take care of yourself and others by staying home as much as possible! You can count on us to continue to provide you with the best service and allow you to fine-tune your app from the comfy seats of your couch :) 

This month we're releasing a new must-have feature for apps that use our Authentication add-on: Sign-in with Apple.  

It is Apple's authentication system that relies on the user's Apple ID and is designed to enhance the privacy of user data. Users can choose not to provide their email address to the apps in which they authenticate via Sign-in with Apple. In this case, Apple will create a unique, random email address that will act as a relay between the user and the third-party app. 

Apple has announced a change to the Apple Store's guidelines due to the release of Sign-in with Apple: all apps that offer at least one third-party authentication system will now be required to offer Sign-in with Apple. 

For you, this means that if you have enabled authentication via Facebook and/or Twitter in your GoodBarber app, Sign-in with Apple will automatically be enabled in your GoodBarber app. 

If you only use the GoodBarber authentication system, nothing changes for you :) 

You can find below a summary of the developments and updates made during March, 2020.
