What’s frustrating about this change is that Apple keeps changing the terms on it. Until last week the T&C’s included the phrase “exclusively”. This allowed you to provide the user with your own sign in system and avoid forcing the google/facebook lock-in, however removing this crucial word means for those of us with apps in the market with social logins, we have to add yet another one.
This is going to lock more users to iOS, and doesn’t allow users on popular apps to migrate to Android and maintain their login. (Note no Android SDK is provided)
It might technically not be antitrust, but as an app developer we’re now forced to include Apple sign-in.
- virgilp 7y ago> It might technically not be antitrust Isn't it? It should be. You're forcing developers to add your sign-in method everywhere... they can't add it on Android. You're essentially forcing sub-par android support.
- the_gipsy 7y agoI think you can add it to any platform, OAuth is just some HTTP calls. Edit: I mean technically, it's gonna suck for users for sure.
