Best practices
Explain the benefits of creating an account and how to sign up.
Delay sign-in for as long as possible.
If you don’t use Sign in with Apple in your iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or visionOS app, prefer using a passkey.
Always identify the authentication method you offer.
Refer only to authentication methods that are available in the current context.
In general, avoid offering an app-specific setting for opting in to biometric authentication.
Avoid using the term passcode to refer to account authentication.
Deleting accounts
Provide a clear way to initiate account deletion within your app or game.
Provide a consistent account-deletion experience whether people perform it within your app or game or on the website.
Consider letting people schedule account deletion to occur in the future.
Tell people when account deletion will complete, and notify them when it’s finished.
If you support in-app purchases, help people understand how billing and cancellation work when they delete their account.
-
Billing for an auto-renewable subscription continues through Apple until people cancel the subscription, regardless of whether they delete their account.
-
After they delete their account, people need to cancel their subscription or request a refund.
TV provider accounts
Avoid displaying a sign-out option when people are signed in at the system level.
Never instruct people to sign out by adjusting privacy controls.

tvOS
