What's the incentive for apps to offer it? Now they don't get user data.
- dthedev 7y agoConvenience and access to Apple's user base who partake in the service. Those are the main reasons I used Google and Facebook sign-in on my website.
- the_watcher 7y agoThere are plenty of applications that don't actually care about the additional data they could arguably get from a Google/Facebook login, and only offer it because one click sign-up/login drives more signups.
- nwsm 7y agoIn cases of a trustworthy third party, what is the concern of linking to Google/Facebook account compared to an Apple account that doesn't offer any data? I don't think I've seen any instances of Facebook integration credentials being hacked/stolen.
- the_watcher 7y agoIn reality, pretty much nothing (particularly since now, third parties basically only get name + email). The value is that some (small or large) number of potential users might not know or believe that and trust Apple more.
- rootusrootus 7y agoHa, I can't imagine why I might trust Apple more than Facebook or Google. /s
- nihonde 7y agoThey still get user data. They just can’t tie it to a real person outside the scope of their app.
- nwsm 7y agoThat is what I meant by user data.
- busymom0 7y agoI develop apps myself and I am 100% onboard with using this instead of offering the signup with google or facebook buttons. I might even push users slightly to use this instead of others as it give my apps a bit of extra trust worthiness imo.
