Apple Pay and Sign In with Apple

Has anyone successfully integrated Apple Pay with Sharetribe yet? Keen to hear how easy/hard it might be. Also any thoughts around supporting the brand new Apple SSO offering?

Hi - I was wondering the same thing - now it’s critical to getting anything on the iOS app store if you want any other SSO methods (FaceBook/LinkedIn/Google) - anyone got anywhere with this?
Can it be added to the hosted version of Go?
This has now been implemented as of April 2020. All new apps MUST have login with Apple if you have any others.

Hey Jon!

I don’t know if anyone has built this integration, however this is not something that we are working on, right now, for the hosted version of Sharetribe Go.

Go isn’t really designed to be used as a mobile app (even if quite a few people have built one, or embedded the regular website into an app) and aside from the requirements you’ve mentioned from Apple, we’ve receive close to no request at all for Apple ID, so this hasn’t made it to the top of our list yet.

Of course, a possibility to get an app built with Go approved by Apple is to disable other social logins. I understand this is not what you’re looking for, but I just wanted to mention it.

If you built that customization to integrate Apple ID, I hope you’ll consider sharing it with the community so that it can help others :slight_smile:

Keep up the good work!

Hello!

Any progress on adding Apple Sign In into Sharetribe Go?
We are currently releasing our iOS app. We had to disable fb/google sign in features for the app publication.

Any estimates from your side, when you guys are adding apple sing in?

Right now, this is not something we are working on, so I don’t have any timeline to share. I don’t think this is something we’ll build in the upcoming month.

If you build that sign in yourself, for your own website, don’t hesitate to share your experience here with others!

Thanks for a quick response Thomas.
We are using hosted Go version, so I believe that is something that restricts us for doing this. Correct?

By the way, if we move from Go => Flex - will you do the migration for us? Does Flex allow us to deploy Apple Sign In feature?

Oh, alright, I didn’t know! This forum is focused on the Community Edition of Sharetribe Go but you if you’re using the hosted version, you can benefit from direct support from our team via the chat widget in your Admin panel :wink:

Indeed, unless we build that feature in the hosted version of Sharetribe Go, this won’t be available.

However, with Flex, you could build that integration, yes. It’s not available out of the box but it can be customized (in general, Flex can support any login integration that uses Open ID). A note about Apple: they indicate that they are OIDC compliant, however, they do not show up in the certified implementations list. This likely requires a bit more work than with some other providers and you can learn more in the Flex documentation.

A migration Go (hosted version) to Flex is indeed possible. Don’t hesitate to get started and contact us via the chat widget in your Sharetribe Go Admin panel or your Sharetribe Flex Console to learn more!

Edit 2022-10-03: an update and clarification on Apple ID requiring some additional work.
