Sign in with Apple

Add the "Sign in with Apple" capability in Xcode before using these APIs.

UIKit: ASAuthorizationController Setup

import AuthenticationServices

final class LoginViewController: UIViewController {
    func startSignInWithApple() {
        let provider = ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider()
        let request = provider.createRequest()
        request.requestedScopes = [.fullName, .email]

        let controller = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [request])
        controller.delegate = self
        controller.presentationContextProvider = self
        controller.performRequests()
    }
}

extension LoginViewController: ASAuthorizationControllerPresentationContextProviding {
    func presentationAnchor(for controller: ASAuthorizationController) -> ASPresentationAnchor {
        view.window!
    }
}
