How to refresh a token #176

Open Slaheddine opened 3 years ago

Slaheddine commented 3 years ago

Can any one please explain how can we refresh the token in the application side. The first token we got is valid for only one day.

@Slaheddine That depends on your server setup. For common languages (Go, PHP, etc.) there exist community-made SDKs to handle this for you.

Broadly speaking you need to convert the "first token" (authorization grant token) into a refresh token right away (from you servers to Apple's). Then one is supposed to validate that the refresh token is "still in good standing" with Apple once a day.

The API in question is https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/generate_and_validate_tokens, but as said above, it's probably fastest to rely on an existing and proven SDK to handle this for you.
