Step 2 - Configure in OwnID

Go to the OwnID console, Authentication > Social Providers:

  • Toggle on Apple Sign in.

By default, OwnID testing credentials are provided, but they are strictly for development use only. Follow this tutorial to configure your own Google credentials for production.
  • Click configure and enter the following values in the modal:
  • Apple Service ID is the Identifier you created in the Services IDs section in the Apple Developer portal.
  • Apple Private Key is the value of the private key you downloaded, including the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----... padding.
  • In the Apple Team ID field, enter your Apple Developer Team ID.
  • In the Apple Key ID field, enter the Key ID you got from the Apple Developer portal.
