apple-auth-go is a unofficial Golang package to validate authorization tokens and manage the authorization of Apple Sign In server side. It provides utility functions and models to retrieve user information and validate authorization codes.
Install with go modules:
go get github.com/GianOrtiz/apple-auth-go
The package follow the Go approach to resolve problems, the usage is pretty straightforward, you start initiating a client with:
package main
import (
"github.com/GianOrtiz/apple-auth-go"
)
func main() {
appleAuth, err := apple.New("<APP-ID>", "<TEAM-ID>", "<KEY-ID>", "/path/to/apple-sign-in-key.p8")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}To validate an authorization code, retrieving refresh and access tokens:
package main
import (
"github.com/GianOrtiz/apple-auth-go"
)
func main() {
appleAuth, err := apple.New("<APP-ID>", "<TEAM-ID>", "<KEY-ID>", "/path/to/apple-sign-in-key.p8")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Validate authorization code from a mobile app.
tokenResponse, err := appleAuth.ValidateCode("<AUTHORIZATION-CODE>")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Validate authorization code from web app with redirect uri.
tokenResponse, err := appleAuth.ValidateCodeWithRedirectURI("<AUTHORIZATION-CODE>", "https://redirect-uri")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}The returned tokenResponse provides the access token, to make requests on behalf of the user with Apple servers, the refresh token, to retrieve a new access token after expiration, trought the ValidateRefreshToken method, and the id token, which is a JWT encoded string with user information. To retrieve the user information from this id token we provide a utility function GetUserInfoFromIDToken:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/GianOrtiz/apple-auth-go"
)
func main() {
appleAuth, err := apple.New("<APP-ID>", "<TEAM-ID>", "<KEY-ID>", "/path/to/apple-sign-in-key.p8")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Validate authorization code from a mobile app.
tokenResponse, err := appleAuth.ValidateCode("<AUTHORIZATION-CODE>")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
user, err := apple.GetUserInfoFromIDToken(tokenResponse.idToken)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// User Apple unique identification.
fmt.Println(user.UID)
// User email if the user provided it.
fmt.Println(user.Email)
}
