> Well this is the evidence we have. > Epic said they would lose Sign In with Apple. > We have no proof that Apple ever communicated that to Epic. > Epic did not lose access. > So where does that leave us? I think it was a fair assumption by Epic to assume that Sign in with Apple would stop working when their Developer Account was terminated. SIWA is tied to a Developer Account. My guess is Apple quickly did some work or made an exception so Epic could keep authenticating users.

I guess we disagree on what terminating the developer account implies. Like Epic, I would expect to lose everything you do in there - including SIWA.

    This would be a boneheaded move for Apple for them to cancel SIWA when a developer lost their developer account. I don’t mean just in the case of a public uproar like this. But, if someone decided not to pay the $99 fee. Perhaps because they decided to abandon their app and go web only. It would ruin Apple’s credibility completely if you can’t trust your IDP not to abandon you.
