fix(expo): add appleSignIn option to config plugin to allow opting out by chriscanin · Pull Request #8113 · clerk/javascript

chriscanin · 2026-03-18T16:23:49Z

Summary

The withClerkExpo config plugin was unconditionally adding the com.apple.developer.applesignin entitlement to every app, even those that don't use Apple Sign In. This caused issues for apps that intentionally don't include Apple Sign In (e.g., apps targeting non-Apple platforms or apps that want to manage entitlements manually).

Change: Added an appleSignIn option to the plugin props that defaults to true for full backwards compatibility. Apps can opt out by passing appleSignIn: false.

Usage:

// app.json
{
  "plugins": [
    ["@clerk/expo", { "appleSignIn": false }]
  ]
}

Test plan

Verify existing apps (no appleSignIn option) still get the entitlement added (backwards compat)
Verify appleSignIn: false prevents the entitlement from being added
Verify appleSignIn: true explicitly still adds the entitlement

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added an optional appleSignIn configuration option. When set to false, the Sign in with Apple entitlement will not be automatically included, enabling applications that do not use Apple Sign In to opt out from the entitlement. Defaults to true for backward compatibility.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces an appleSignIn configuration option to the Expo config plugin. When explicitly set to false, the plugin skips the automatic addition of the Sign in with Apple entitlement during the build process. The main change updates withClerkExpo in packages/expo/app.plugin.js to check the appleSignIn flag from props and conditionally apply the Apple Sign-In configuration. By default, the flag remains true to preserve existing behavior. A changeset file documents this new opt-out capability for users of the Expo config plugin.

It feels odd that this defaults to true, but I understand the backwards compat point.
