Blog post from Stream
Social logins, such as those provided by Google and Facebook, offer users a convenient alternative to traditional username and password setups by allowing them to sign into applications using existing accounts. Apple introduced its own version, "Sign in with Apple," at their World Wide Developer Conference, enhancing both privacy and usability compared to other platforms. This feature limits data sharing to just the user's email and name, and users can choose to mask their email for added privacy. The integration with iOS ensures seamless access across devices, while Face ID or Touch ID enables fast login. This tutorial guides users through implementing "Sign in with Apple" for a chat application using Stream Chat, covering prerequisites like setting up an Apple Developer Account, configuring Xcode, and building both server and client components. The tutorial emphasizes creating a secure, efficient login process and provides detailed steps for integrating Apple's authentication system into a React Native app, demonstrating its advantages in user verification and app connection.
