has sign in with Apple launched yet? It was the Big Thing in iOS 13 that I was personally most excited about but honestly, if it has launched, I haven't seen it yet. edit: from the comments it sounds like it has launched, but currently being implemented in a voluntary manner. Looked at the 9to5Mac article on iOS 13 support of apps and it looks like I just don't use any of them unfortunately. Love the idea still and h…

Bird Rides[1] uses it. I tried it and it works very well.

Apps and services have to add this support in, it's not something Apple can do on their own.

It is available as part of iOS 13, yes but it will take time.

Just adding "Wordpress" and "Pocket Yoga" to this list.

Wordpress is a good example of a service with a web implementation as well to try from the browser.

Houzz[1] as of version 19.10.2 uses Sign in with Apple. [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/houzz-home-design-remodel/id39...

Houzz appears to support Sign in with Apple in their iPhone app, but not yet on their https://www.houzz.com/ website. So I created an account on my phone that I can't use on their site.

So I don't currently use Apple products, does this mean that people can use their own OpenID Connect identity providers with Apple (like if I run an Open ID Connect server at idp.example.com, I can add it as an authentication source) or is this just for using Apple's Identity Provider to allow your own apps to log-in via your Apple account? Open ID Connect is essentially a an OAuth2 implementation. The original Open…

You can allow people with apple accounts to login into your website without to write Apple specific code. Just use whatever lib you've been using to allow people to auth with their Google accounts or any other 3rd party openid connect idp

Mandatory so long as the app supports other third party authentication. If they exclusively use only their own accounts, it isn't required. (There are a couple other exceptions for business and education apps)

Edit: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=09122019b

New Apps will be required to implement this immediately, existing apps have until April next year to support it before updates will be rejected.

I know of at least one app that uses it (Ten Percent Happier).

Yes, that was the first time I saw it, and it's exactly the kind of app that I'd rather not give my PII to, so kudos to that developer for offering the option.

Apple was planning on making SIWA support mandatory, but pushed that back to 2020.

For new Apps it is mandatory, existing apps have until April of next year to support it before updates will start getting rejected.
