performRequest hangs ios14 Simulator -> App Store Rejection (use ios13 or ios16 simulator)

Hi,
i've been experiencing this error from iOS 14.

I'm using @invertase/react-native-apple-authentication@1.1.2 as i don't need Apple Signin for Android.

Although, in past AppleStore reviewers rejects my app randomly, probably depending on who tests the app, this time there's no way to make it accepts.

const appleAuthRequestResponse = await appleAuth.performRequest({ requestedOperation: AppleAuthRequestOperation.LOGIN, requestedScopes: [AppleAuthRequestScope.EMAIL, AppleAuthRequestScope.FULL_NAME], });

It's a pity, this package works perfectly for real devices!
Could you suggest me, what to do? It's a problem experienced only in my case or not only?

UPDATE - this works on iOS16 simulators (finally) so there is hope once Xcode 14 - which includes iOS16 simulator - is out of beta.. Until then:

There is no fix. I reproduce the problem.
For now assume the iOS14 simulator is broken.
The code works on iOS13 simulators. It works on iOS 13 and 14 real devices.

There is nothing we can do, I don't think except wait for a fix.

Simulators from iOS14.0 through iOS 15.x are all broken for sign in with apple.

Instruct app reviewers to use an iOS13 simulator or real device to test it until iOS16 comes out

@mikehardy if you download iOS 13.6 simulator on Xcode > 12 you can test everything.

[artmerlop]

I am having the same problem. The error i get is;

Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1001.)

sign with apple on ios14 device works, ios14 simulator does not work. And app store keeps rejecting my app
Still no solution ?

@ihsanktmr you should download iOS 13.X simulator and test on that version, also when you send it to review specify that apple signin function will not work on iOS 14 simulator, because it's a bug from Apple, reported by many developers, I specified that and my app got aproved.

[mikehardy]

I'm going to close this as there is no action to take I don't think - it is an upstream bug out of our control

In app store review comments you should note for reviewers that if they test apple sign in, it is broken on ios14 simulators and they must use either a real device or ios13

[htuzel]

You need to enable apple signin for your build (not only for debugging).
It was the issue for my case.

I had same issue, but I rewrote my code to use .then instead of await and found that my issue was caused because I didn't follow the Migration Guide since some constants were renamed. After follow the migration guide all was working again.

It seems that React Native + async is not handled correctly the errors and you cannot see what is happening.

[mikehardy]

@UsamaAshraf82 it is working on a real device with iOS 14, I just re-tested it literally this moment to make sure before asserting it works on real device with iOS 14.

Not working on iOS14 simulator is a known issue with no workaround, out of control of this library

But if it is not working on a real device with iOS 14 for you, you should examine your project - I suspect something is not configured correctly for you and it is almost certainly project-specific

[mikehardy]

In my app store submission/testing instructions I say: "use a real device, or an ios13 simulator". I don't have problems, but then apple review is notoriously hit or miss by common knowledge and in my experience. It feels like each time they review they fail something that they passed before, despite no changes. I wish I was not so cynical in this area as it would be more helpful, but with apologies, that's where I'm at personally with them. It's a farce and I can't offer much help beyond what we know here technically by observation: ios14 and ios15 emulators do not appear to work with apple sign in 🤷

According to a comment in the Apple dev forum, iOS 16 simulator fixes the issue.

If anybody running on the beta could confirm, it would be awesome news!

[mikehardy]

@renchap OH MY $DEITY! You are right! They fixed it. They finally fixed it. After only around 2 years. Wow.
Confirmed working on Xcode 14 beta 1 (beta2 is downloading for me still)

Note credential state "authorized" in screen cap. Note that if you have never signed in to your apple account on the simulator your first attempt will fail with error 1000 still, because the flow does not work well with the case where a user is never signed in to the device at all but that's okay because it does not happen in practice on real devices.

Second attempt works.

Xcode 14.0
Build version 14A5228q

(do note that they messed up the button styles though: different issue, what can we do!? #286 )

[aramvr]

I'm running on iOS 16.4 and still have the issue, I don't have the option to install the older iOS 13 version as it does not appear on the versions list.
I will appreciate if someone can share a solution.

I have a similar problem
