We currently have issues with approving our apps with app store as they demand using apple login. We have added it but they still do not approve changes. that is so annoying as it blocks some other things in our company...

What are they saying is wrong now that you’ve added Apple login?

  They say app should be fully usable after apple login. We are e-mail provider and we are not startup. After apple is connected we ask user to enter existing credentials to add apple to his account (90% of cases) or register a new one (also You need to provide password there). Without password IMAP does not work for example..

    AppleID should be usable as the only login to the app. As in, if AppleID is offered, you should not prompt for another password. Treat it like an authorized OAuth login. Whatever other hoops you must jump through to make this work are irrelevant to the guidelines.

      So in this case how the hell apple login can be added to existing accounts (millions of them) without violating TOS? the only way to make sure user has access to account is by providing existing credentials which most of times preceedes Apple Login existence in our case

        You'll have to have some way of joining two accounts into one account, so that the AppleID login can create a new account. This isn't simple, it's just the only way to be compatible with Apple devices.

Sue them! They are so blatantly a monopoly. 50% of American consumers do their computing with a company that forces all interacting parties to jump through Byzantine hoops and pay outrageous taxes. I'm sorry, Apple fans, but this company isn't fair to the rest of the world. It's a dark specter, turning once open computing into an arcane serfdom.

I recently published my first app to App Store and failed in the same requirement. Guess I was lucky since It was approved a few hours after I added it. However the bigger problem with Sign in to Apple is that they don’t follow the standard implementation of oauth/oidc as pretty much everyone else does...

Does your app have sign in with google, Facebook? If not, what's their rationale for forcing you to implement theirs?
