Sign in with Apple allows users to sign in to your apps using the Apple ID they already have. With privacy and security features built in, Sign in with Apple is a great way to help users set up an account, sign in, and engage with your app quickly and easily.

All accounts are protected with two-factor authentication for superior security, and Apple will not track users’ activity in your app or website.

Requirements to add "Sign in with Apple" to your GoodBarber apps:
- It is mandatory to have already set  Facebook  or Twitter  authentication on your app.
- It is mandatory to have your own Apple developer account
- This feature is only available for GoodBarber Premium plans .

In this online help, we'll describe how to set up Sign in with Apple for your iOS and then for your Android and PWA GoodBarber apps.
- iOS must be set up first to be able to then add Sign in with Apple to your Android and PWA versions.

Warning
Regarding iOS apps:
Apple guidelines  state that apps that use a third-party or social login service (such as Facebook Login  and/or Sign in with Twitter ) to authenticate the user’s primary account with the app must also offer Sign in with Apple as an equivalent option.
A user’s primary account is the account they establish on your app for the purposes of identifying themselves, signing in, and accessing your features and associated services.
If you set Facebook  or Twitter  authentication for your GoodBarber app, it is mandatory to add Sign in with Apple for a first submission or an update of your app to the App store.
