Not objecting. I don't need email addresses for the case of AppleID users. 100% true I do need them for everyone else who comes from traditional signup However, you seem to have missed the point. My problem is not AppleID, my problem is that Apple forced it on my app and threatened to shut me down if I didn't include it
They want you to redesign your app so that you don’t rely more n mail to provide functionality. It’s a good thing, even for you.

I know it's frustrating for you, but this is the core of why Apple users stick to Apple. They decided to trust and share their data with one single company (Apple) instead of an overwhelming amount of small companies.
And it's not just about data; Apple users trust Apple to design a competiting device and a refined user experience and they don't have to do the work for themselves. They just buy the next Apple device and they trust Apple to do the work for them.
I know it's not for everyone, but if a subset of people like it and they decide to buy into it.... why are people getting mad? Apple is the result of what Apple users want. If you don't like them you can develop your app for Android users or whatever else you like.

I'm the opposite. I NEVER use a third party login, my it be Apple, Google, Facebook or whatnot. If your website/app doesn't offer their own independent login, I don't even think once whether I really need it.
Agreed, it screams two things to me. First that the company is supremely interested in collecting my personal information beyond what I would normally expect to provide. Second that they’re just too lazy to implement their own user system. Neither is a good thing
You don't get anything beyond what you ask for AND are granted access to by the user.
FB login gives email and name AFAIK, but you can ask for lots of other stuff and be denied. Google defaults to email, not sure about name, and has separate requests and grants for any additional information. They don't have nearly as much of a profile as FB does, but can give address and some other details. Apparently Apple doesn't even provide a real email, so that seems even better for "collecting [your] personal information" than using... your personal email address!
Social login is much better than storing passwords in any form (plaintext, encrypted, hashed), and gives both the user and site owner the benefit of FAANG security.

> Nowadays any iOS app that doesn’t support logging in with Apple makes me think twice about whether I really need the app. I agree. I only create accounts for things reluctantly. Because 1. Why do you want my email address, or DOB, or whatever else? I don't want your marketing, and 2. I can't be bothered, I downloaded your app because I have something I want to get done.
> Why do you want my email address Because Apple's SSO will not be eternal and nobody wants to have a tier as a proxy on an important account credential. Apple SSO is ok for throwaway account where your account has no "sentimental value" that you can't recreate easily. But the author of this post maintains a social network : nobody wants to be locked out a social network. I have active accounts on websites that exist…
Any website offering SSO options would have a sunset period to move it over if a provider went under...and if they don't, they are likely defunct at that point anyways...

No reason whatsoever != password recovery At the end of the day you've made your choice. You believe the reason Apple does this is to protect your privacy. You can't see that they want to close you in and make sure they are the only contact you ever have with anyone. This is to get your $. You're in fact paying a premium because they artificially inflate the price of every software you buy (think fees) I don't "harve…
> You can't see that they want to close you in and make sure they are the only contact you ever have with anyone. You don’t see that I want to only have to deal with one party. I don’t want 74637728 different logins if I can help it.
I want to not be forced by Apple to add things to my app. I want to add them willingly

> we use the email address as a fraud signal for some payment providers This is not in the interest of the user. As a user I do not want yet another company getting my details and assembling a profile on me under the excuse of fraud prevention, especially when my bank offers 3D-Secure which shifts all fraud liability back to the bank. > all the sorts of emails that users tell us again and again are very important to…
> As a user I do not want yet another company getting my details and assembling a profile on me under the excuse of fraud prevention This is only done after an explicit opt-in when using just that payment method. It's actually done as part of a credit check and those have to be very explicit.

This is a perfect example of why Sign in with Apple is so great: it hides my e-mail and real name from people like the author who are clearly intent on using this information to sell me stuff I don't want.
