Apple can be used as a federated authenticator in WSO2 Identity Server.  

...

  1. The client application initiates the authentication flow by redirecting the browser communicating with WSO2 Identity Server.
  2. WSO2 Identity Server redirects the user to the Apple Sign authorization endpointIn page.
  3. Apple authenticates the user and redirects the user back to the client application WSO2 Identity Server with an authorization code.
  4. The client application WSO2 Identity Server sends the authorization code to the Apple Sign In token endpoint and requests an ID token in return.
  5. Apple validates the client application's client ID, client secret, and authorization code and responds with an ID token, access token, and refresh token.
