A library that provides Sign-in with Apple capability for iOS.
GitHub
npm
expo-apple-authentication
provides Apple authentication for iOS. It does not yet support Android or web.
Any app that includes third-party authentication options must provide Apple authentication as an option to comply with App Store Review guidelines. For more information, see Apple authentication on the Sign In with Apple website.

npx expo install expo-apple-authentication
If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, start by installing expo
in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by the library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.
You can configure expo-apple-authentication
using its built-in config plugin if you use config plugins in your project (EAS Build or npx expo run:[android|ios]
).
The plugin allows you to configure various properties that cannot be set at runtime and require building a new app binary to take effect. If your app does not use EAS Build, then you'll need to manually configure the package.
To enable the Sign In with Apple capability in your app, set the ios.usesAppleSignIn
property to true
in your project's app config:
{
"expo": {
"ios": {
"usesAppleSignIn": true
}
}
}
Running EAS Build locally will use iOS capabilities signing to enable the required capabilities before building.
{
"expo": {
"plugins": ["expo-apple-authentication"]
}
}
Apps that don't use EAS Build must manually configure the Apple Sign In capability for their bundle identifier.
If you enable the Apple Sign In capability through the Apple Developer Console, then be sure to add the following entitlements in your ios/[app]/[app].entitlements file:
<key>com.apple.developer.applesignin</key>
<array>
<string>Default</string>
</array>
Also, set CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations
to true
in your ios/[app]/Info.plist to ensure the sign-in button uses the device locale.

You can test this library in Expo Go on iOS without following any of the instructions above. However, you'll need to add the config plugin to use this library if you are using EAS Build. When you sign into Expo Go, the identifiers and values you receive will likely be different than what you'll receive in standalone apps.
You can do limited testing of this library on the iOS Simulator. However, not all methods will behave the same as on a device, so we highly recommend testing on a real device when possible while developing.
Apple's response includes a signed JWT with information about the user. To ensure that the response came from Apple, you can cryptographically verify the signature with Apple's public key, which is published at https://appleid.apple.com/auth/keys. This process is not specific to Expo.
import * as AppleAuthentication from 'expo-apple-authentication';
AppleAuthenticationButton
Type: React.Element<AppleAuthenticationButtonProps>
This component displays the proprietary "Sign In with Apple" / "Continue with Apple" button on your screen. The App Store Guidelines require you to use this component to start the authentication process instead of a custom button. Limited customization of the button is available via the provided properties.
You should only attempt to render this if AppleAuthentication.isAvailableAsync()
resolves to true
. This component will render nothing if it is not available, and you will get
a warning in development mode (__DEV__ === true
).
The properties of this component extend from View
; however, you should not attempt to set
backgroundColor
or borderRadius
with the style
property. This will not work and is against
the App Store Guidelines. Instead, you should use the buttonStyle
property to choose one of the
predefined color styles and the cornerRadius
property to change the border radius of the
button.
Make sure to attach height and width via the style props as without these styles, the button will not appear on the screen.
See: Apple Documentation for more details.
buttonStyle
Type: AppleAuthenticationButtonStyle
The Apple-defined color scheme to use to display the button.
buttonType
Type: AppleAuthenticationButtonType
The type of button text to display ("Sign In with Apple" vs. "Continue with Apple").
cornerRadius
Optional • Type: number
The border radius to use when rendering the button. This works similarly to
style.borderRadius
in other Views.
onPress
Type: () => void
The method to call when the user presses the button. You should call AppleAuthentication.signInAsync
in here.
style
Optional • Type: StyleProp<Omit<ViewStyle, 'backgroundColor' | 'borderRadius'>>
The custom style to apply to the button. Should not include backgroundColor
or borderRadius
properties.
AppleAuthentication.getCredentialStateAsync(user)
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
user | string | The unique identifier for the user whose credential state you'd like to check.
This should come from the user field of an |
Queries the current state of a user credential, to determine if it is still valid or if it has been revoked.
Note: This method must be tested on a real device. On the iOS simulator it always throws an error.
A promise that fulfills with an AppleAuthenticationCredentialState
value depending on the state of the credential.
AppleAuthentication.isAvailableAsync()
Determine if the current device's operating system supports Apple authentication.
Promise<boolean>
A promise that fulfills with true
if the system supports Apple authentication, and false
otherwise.
AppleAuthentication.refreshAsync(options)
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
options | AppleAuthenticationRefreshOptions | An |
An operation that refreshes the logged-in user’s credentials. Calling this method will show the sign in modal before actually refreshing the user credentials.
A promise that fulfills with an AppleAuthenticationCredential
object after a successful authentication, and rejects with ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED
if the user cancels the
refresh operation.
AppleAuthentication.signInAsync(options)
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
options (optional) | AppleAuthenticationSignInOptions | An optional |
Sends a request to the operating system to initiate the Apple authentication flow, which will present a modal to the user over your app and allow them to sign in.
You can request access to the user's full name and email address in this method, which allows you to personalize your UI for signed in users. However, users can deny access to either or both of these options at runtime.
Additionally, you will only receive Apple Authentication Credentials the first time users sign
into your app, so you must store it for later use. It's best to store this information either
server-side, or using SecureStore, so that the data persists across app installs.
You can use AppleAuthenticationCredential.user
to identify
the user, since this remains the same for apps released by the same developer.
A promise that fulfills with an AppleAuthenticationCredential
object after a successful authentication, and rejects with ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED
if the user cancels the
sign-in operation.
AppleAuthentication.signOutAsync(options)
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
options | AppleAuthenticationSignOutOptions | An |
An operation that ends the authenticated session. Calling this method will show the sign in modal before actually signing the user out.
It is not recommended to use this method to sign out the user as it works counterintuitively.
Instead of using this method it is recommended to simply clear all the user's data collected
from using signInAsync
or refreshAsync
methods.
A promise that fulfills with an AppleAuthenticationCredential
object after a successful authentication, and rejects with ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED
if the user cancels the
sign-out operation.
AppleAuthenticationCredential
The object type returned from a successful call to AppleAuthentication.signInAsync()
,
AppleAuthentication.refreshAsync()
, or AppleAuthentication.signOutAsync()
which contains all of the pertinent user and credential information.
See: Apple Documentation for more details.
