Auth Flow

Auth Flow Generator

Generate a complete authentication flow with Sign in with Apple, biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID), and secure Keychain storage.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks to "add authentication" or "add login"
• Mentions "Sign in with Apple" or "SIWA"
• Wants "Face ID login" or "biometric auth"
• Asks about "Keychain" or "secure storage"
• Mentions "user session" or "auth token"

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

• Check for existing auth implementations
• Check for AuthenticationServices framework usage
• Verify entitlements file exists
• Identify source file locations

2. Conflict Detection

Search for existing auth:

Glob: **/*Auth*.swift, **/*Keychain*.swift
Grep: "ASAuthorizationController" or "LAContext"

If found, ask user:

• Replace existing implementation?
• Extend with additional methods?

3. Required Capabilities

Sign in with Apple requires:

• Add "Sign in with Apple" capability in Xcode
• Configure in App Store Connect
• Add entitlement: com.apple.developer.applesignin

Configuration Questions

Ask user via AskUserQuestion:

1. Authentication methods? (multi-select)

   • Sign in with Apple
   • Biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID)
   • Both

2. Session storage?

   • Keychain (secure, persists reinstall)
   • UserDefaults (simple, cleared on reinstall)

3. Session management?

   • Auto-refresh tokens
   • Manual refresh
   • No token refresh needed

Generation Process

Step 1: Create Core Files

Generate these files:

1. AuthenticationManager.swift - Core auth orchestration
2. KeychainManager.swift - Secure storage
3. SignInWithAppleManager.swift - SIWA handling
4. BiometricAuthManager.swift - Face ID/Touch ID

Step 2: Create SwiftUI Components

Based on configuration:

• SignInWithAppleButton.swift - SwiftUI button wrapper
• AuthenticationView.swift - Complete auth UI

Step 3: Determine File Location

Check project structure:

• If Sources/ exists → Sources/Auth/
• If App/ exists → App/Auth/
• Otherwise → Auth/

Entitlements Required

Sign in with Apple

<!-- YourApp.entitlements -->
<key>com.apple.developer.applesignin</key>
<array>
    <string>Default</string>
</array>

Keychain Sharing (optional)

<key>keychain-access-groups</key>
<array>
    <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.yourcompany.shared</string>
</array>

Info.plist Required

Face ID Usage Description

<key>NSFaceIDUsageDescription</key>
<string>Use Face ID to securely sign in to your account</string>

Output Format

After generation, provide:

Files Created

Sources/Auth/
├── AuthenticationManager.swift      # Core orchestration
├── KeychainManager.swift            # Secure storage
├── SignInWithAppleManager.swift     # SIWA delegate
├── BiometricAuthManager.swift       # Face ID/Touch ID
├── AuthenticationState.swift        # Auth state model
└── Views/
    ├── SignInWithAppleButton.swift  # SwiftUI button
    └── AuthenticationView.swift     # Complete UI

Integration Steps

App Entry Point:

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    @StateObject private var authManager = AuthenticationManager()

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            if authManager.isAuthenticated {
                ContentView()
            } else {
                AuthenticationView()
            }
        }
        .environmentObject(authManager)
    }
}

Sign in with Apple Button:

SignInWithAppleButtonView { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let user):
        print("Signed in: \(user.id)")
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Failed: \(error)")
    }
}

Biometric Auth:

Button("Unlock with Face ID") {
    Task {
        if await BiometricAuthManager.shared.authenticate() {
            // Authenticated
        }
    }
}

Required Setup

1. Xcode Capabilities:

   • Add "Sign in with Apple" capability
   • Enable Keychain Sharing (if needed)

2. App Store Connect:

   • Configure Sign in with Apple for your App ID

3. Info.plist:

   • Add NSFaceIDUsageDescription

Testing Instructions

Sign in with Apple:

• Use Simulator for basic testing
• Test on device for full flow
• Use sandbox Apple ID for testing

Biometrics:

• Simulator: Features > Face ID > Enrolled
• Test enrolled/not enrolled states
• Test failed authentication
