iOS now requires Sign On with Apple alongside other auth providers

It looks like Apple Sign On only works with iOS >=13. If someone creates an account on a new device, they won't be able to sign in using an old device on 12? Should I drop support for 12 in my app?

The way we manage this by allowing users to link multiple identity providers to their login. So if they drop back to iOS 12, they can use another social provider (or reset their password) to sign into their existing account so long as the e-mail matches.

This obviously doesn't work for anonymous sign in, but there's not much we can do about that.

It’s likely you may want to anyway. Do you usage logs show any users on 12?

I'm still on iOS 12.4 on an iPhone XS, and I'm reluctant to update.

Me? :). I'm reluctant to update my iPhone SE to 13.
