I wouldn’t normally find an article like this of interest for HN, but the original claims that Apple was terminating sign in with apple were repeated widely here and taken as true.
It seems there was, in fact, no evidence for these claims other than Epic saying so. Notably Epic did not publish any documents from Apple, and as Gruber points out it would be against Apple’s interests to cut off people who used Sign in with Apple.
On the internet false claims spread widely and the corrections rarely make it as far. So I think it’s worth considering this article, especially in light of the judicial hearings today where the judge in charge of the case treated many of Epic’s arguments as non credible or unsupported.
