Builds iOS authentication with AuthenticationServices and LocalAuthentication. Use for Sign in with Apple, passkeys/WebAuthn, credential state or revocation, OAuth/web sessions, Password AutoFill, identity-token server validation, and local biometric reauthentication.

Implement authentication flows on iOS using AuthenticationServices and LocalAuthentication, including Sign in with Apple, passkeys (WebAuthn), OAuth web sessions, Password AutoFill, and biometric verification. Targets Swift 6.4 / iOS 26+.
Add the Sign in with Apple capability in Xcode.
In SwiftUI, use SignInWithAppleButton:
import SwiftUI
import AuthenticationServices
struct LoginView: View {
var body: some View {
SignInWithAppleButton(.signIn) { request in
request.requestedScopes = [.fullName, .email]
} onCompletion: { result in
switch result {
case .success(let authorization):
if let appleIDCredential = authorization.credential as? ASAuthorizationAppleIDCredential {
let userIdentifier = appleIDCredential.user
let identityToken = appleIDCredential.identityToken
// Forward identityToken to backend for JWT validation
}
case .failure(let error):
// Handle authorization error
break
}
}
.signInWithAppleButtonStyle(.black)
.frame(height: 50)
}
}Check credential state on app launch using ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider().getCredentialState(forUserID:).
Authenticate without passwords using hardware-backed credentials synced via iCloud Keychain:
let provider = ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider(relyingPartyIdentifier: "example.com")
let request = provider.createCredentialAssertionRequest(challenge: serverChallenge)
let controller = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [request])
controller.delegate = self
controller.presentationContextProvider = self
controller.performRequests()Configure Associated Domains with webcredentials:example.com and host /.well-known/apple-app-site-association.
For third-party OAuth providers, use ASWebAuthenticationSession:
let session = ASWebAuthenticationSession(
url: authURL,
callbackURLScheme: "myapp"
) { callbackURL, error in
guard let callbackURL, error == nil else { return }
// Extract authorization code from callbackURL
}
session.presentationContextProvider = self
session.prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = false // true prevents shared cookie login
session.start()Support keychain password entry alongside passkeys via ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider:
let passwordRequest = ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider().createCredentialRequest()
let controller = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [passkeyRequest, passwordRequest])Verify device owner identity using Face ID / Touch ID:
import LocalAuthentication
func authenticateUser() async throws {
let context = LAContext()
var error: NSError?
guard context.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error) else {
throw AuthError.biometricsUnavailable
}
let success = try await context.evaluatePolicy(
.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics,
localizedReason: "Unlock your account"
)
guard success else { throw AuthError.failed }
}identityToken signatures against Apple's public keys on your server.webcredentials:domain in Associated Domains.evaluatePolicy without pre-checking triggers immediate runtime exceptions on unsupported hardware.getCredentialState(forUserID:) on launchwebcredentials: for passkeysASWebAuthenticationSession instance retained until completionNSFaceIDUsageDescription included in Info.plist for biometric auththienqo/ios-skills
