Implementing Sign In with Apple ID and Token Revocation in Flutter/Dart

In today's digital age, user privacy has become more critical than ever. Apple has taken a strong stance on user privacy with its Sign In with Apple feature, allowing users to register and log in to applications securely. However, along with this feature comes the responsibility of managing user data ethically and transparently. In this guide, we will explore how to implement Sign In with Apple ID in a Flutter application, along with the essential steps to enable users to revoke their access and permanently delete their accounts.

Understanding the Challenge

When users log into your Flutter app using their Apple IDs, they are given a unique identifier instead of their email addresses. While this secures user data, it raises questions about data management, particularly regarding account deletion. Apple requires developers to offer users the option to revoke app permissions and delete their accounts permanently. As developers, it is essential to comply with these requirements to maintain user trust and adhere to privacy laws.

Implementing Sign In with Apple ID

Let’s break down the implementation of Sign In with Apple ID in your Flutter app.

Step 1: Generate Nonce

First, you need to generate a secure random string called a nonce. This nonce is a state value that helps ensure the integrity of the authentication process and should be unique for every sign-in attempt.

Step 2: Hash the Nonce

You also need to hash the nonce using SHA-256 to secure the authentication request further.

Step 3: Sign In Logic

Create a function to handle the signing-in process using the generated nonce and credentials from Apple.

Token Revocation and Account Deletion

Providing users with the option to delete their accounts is crucial. Here’s how to handle that process effectively.

Implementing Account Deletion

Create a User Interface Option: Make sure users can see an option to delete their account clearly—perhaps with the label "Delete Account" prominently placed in your app settings.

Database Management: On receiving the deletion request, make sure to remove the user’s entry from your database, ensuring all associated data is erased permanently to comply with privacy regulations.

User Logout: After the account is deleted, it is essential to log out the user from the application to complete the process.

Manual Process: You can provide users the option to request account deletion from your support team, ensuring a manual review of the deletion process if necessary.

Final Thoughts

Implementing Sign In with Apple ID involves careful attention to user privacy and data management. Providing an option for users to revoke access and permanently delete their accounts is not just a good practice; it’s a legal requirement in many jurisdictions. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can create a safer and more trustworthy environment for your app users.

Remember to always stay updated with the latest guidelines from Apple concerning user privacy and account management to keep your application secure and compliant.
