Login with Apple
To enable Apple Auth for your project, you need to set up a Apple OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Teta Auth.
Authentication comprises of following steps:
- Click on Account at the top right to log in.

Now you’ll need to download a secret key file from Apple that will be used to generate your client_secret.
- Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
- Click on Keys at the left.
- Click on the
+
sign in the upper left next to Keys. - Enter a Key Name.
- Check Sign In With Apple.
- Click Configure to the right.
- Select your newly-created Services ID from the dropdown selector.
- Click Save at the top right.
- Click Continue at the top right.
- Click Register at the top right.
- Click Download at the top right.
- Save the downloaded file — this contains your “secret key” that will be used to generate your client_secret.
- Click Done at the top right.
- Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
- Click on Identifiers at the left.
- Click on the
+
sign in the upper left next to Identifiers. - Select App IDs and click Continue.
- Select type App and click Continue.
- Fill out your app information:
- App description.
- Bundle ID (Apple recommends reverse-domain name style, so if your domain is acme.com and your app is called roadrunner, use: “com.acme.roadrunner”).
- Scroll down and check Sign In With Apple.
- Click Continue at the top right.
- Click Register at the top right.
This will serve as the client_id when you make API calls to authenticate the user.
- Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
- Click on Identifiers at the left.
- Click on the
+
sign in the upper left next to Identifiers. - Select Services IDs and click Continue.
- Fill out your information:
- App description.
- Bundle ID (you can’t use the same Bundle ID from the previous step, but you can just add something to the beginning, such as “app.” to make it app.com.acme.roadrunner”).
- SAVE THIS ID — this ID will become your client_id later.
- Click Continue at the top right.
- Click Register at the top right.
Callback URL
https://auth.teta.so/auth/apple_callback
- Under Identifiers, click on your newly-created Services ID.
- Check the box next to Sign In With Apple to enable it.
- Click Configure to the right.
- Make sure your newly created Bundle ID is selected under Primary App ID.
- Add your domain to the Domains and Subdomains box (do not add
https://
, just add the domain). - In the Return URLs box, type the callback URL of your app which you found in the previous step and click Next at the bottom right.
- Click Done at the bottom.
- Click Continue at the top right.
- Click Save at the top right.
The secret key you downloaded is used to create the client_secret string you’ll need to authenticate your users.
According to the Apple Docs it needs to be a JWT token encrypted using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with the P-256 curve and the SHA-256 hash algorithm.
At this time, the easiest way to generate this JWT token is with Ruby. If you don’t have Ruby installed, you can Download Ruby Here.
- Install Ruby (or check to make sure it’s installed on your system).
- From the command line, run:
sudo gem install jwt
. - Create the script below using a text editor:
secret_gen.rb
require "jwt"
key_file = "Path to the private key"
team_id = "Your Team ID"
client_id = "The Service ID of the service you created"
key_id = "The Key ID of the private key"
validity_period = 180 # In days. Max 180 (6 months) according to Apple docs.
private_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file
token = JWT.encode(
{
iss: team_id,
iat: Time.now.to_i,
exp: Time.now.to_i + 86400 * validity_period,
aud: "https://appleid.apple.com",
sub: client_id
},
private_key,
"ES256",
header_fields=
{
kid: key_id
}
)
puts token
- Edit the secret_gen.rb file:
key_file
= “Path to the private key you downloaded from Apple”. It should look like this:AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8
.team_id
= “Your Team ID”. This is found at the top right of the Apple Developer site (next to your name).client_id
= “The Service ID of the service you created”. This is the Services ID you created in the above step Obtain a Services ID. If you’ve lost this ID, you can find it in the Apple Developer Site:- Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
- Click Identifiers at the left.
- At the top right drop-down, select Services IDs.
- Find your Identifier in the list (i.e. app.com.acme.roadrunner).
key_id
= “The Key ID of the private key”. This can be found in the name of your downloaded secret file (For a file namedAuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8
your key_id isXXXXXXXXXX
). If you’ve lost this ID, you can find it in the Apple Developer Site:- Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
- Click Keys at the left.
- Click on your newly-created key in the list.
- Look under Key ID to find your key_id.
- From the command line, run:
ruby secret_gen.rb > client_secret.txt
. - Your client_secret is now stored in this client_secret.txt file.
You must add the App credentials to your Teta project.
To add the credentials:
- Select a Teta project and navigate to Teta Auth.
- Select Settings.
- Find Apple and enter the credentials:
- enter the Service ID into the Apple Client textfied.
- enter the client_secret.txt into the Apple Secret textfied.
- When you are done, select Save.
- Select the Login with Google from the tree area.
- Click on Actions + (on the right side of your screen).
- Click on Action dropdown.
- Find the Action Type dropdown and change it to Teta Auth.
- Find the Gesture dropdown below and change it to OnTap.
- Find the dropdown below and select Sign in with apple.
- Finally in the Which Page? select the page that you want the user to sign in on once logged in.
