Passport strategy for authenticating with Apple identity token.

This module lets you authenticate using Apple in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Apple authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

npm install @mrbatista/passport-apple-token

The Apple authentication strategy authenticates users using a Apple account and identity token. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls next providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID.

var AppleTokenStrategy = require('@mrbatista/passport-apple-token');

passport.use(new AppleTokenStrategy({
    clientID: APPLE_CLIENT_ID,
    passReqToCallback: true
}, function(req, undefined, undefined, profile, next) {
    User.findOrCreate({'apple.id': profile.id}, function(error, user) {
        return next(error, user);
    });
}));

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the apple-token strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/apple/token', passport.authenticate('apple-token'));

Or if you are using Sails framework:

// AuthController.js
module.exports = {
    apple: function(req, res) {
        passport.authenticate('apple-token', function(error, user, info) {
            if (error) return res.serverError(error);
            if (info) return res.unauthorized(info);
            return res.ok(user);
        })(req, res);
    }
};

The request to this route should include a GET or POST data with the keys id_token set to the credentials you receive from Apple.

GET /auth/apple/token?id_token=<TOKEN>

If you receive a 401 Unauthorized error, it is most likely because you have wrong access token or not yet specified any application permissions. Once you refresh access token with new permissions, try to send this access token again.
