Clerk
Implement native iOS auth with prebuilt ClerkKitUI components, defaulting to combined auth in a sheet.
- If
clerk-ios is not installed, add it using the latest available release with an up-to-next-major package requirement.
- Do not pin an exact package version unless the developer explicitly requests version pinning.
- Add
ClerkKit and ClerkKitUI.
- Quickstart prerequisite audit
- Find the iOS quickstart URL in the installed
clerk-ios package README, append .md, then visit and read that markdown URL.
- Build a checklist from the visited markdown quickstart and verify the current project completed all required setup.
- If required setup is missing, add it before finishing prebuilt auth implementation.
- Always add any missing Associated Domains entries and any other capabilities required by the quickstart.
- Explicitly apply quickstart step
Add associated domain capability (https://clerk.com/docs/ios/getting-started/quickstart#add-associated-domain-capability); ensure webcredentials:{YOUR_FRONTEND_API_URL} exists when missing.
- Environment check for Apple capability
- Inspect installed
ClerkKitUI source first to identify the Environment fields/semantics used for Apple availability.
- Then call
/v1/environment and evaluate Apple-enabled state using the same field semantics.
- In prebuilt flow, do not build capability matrices; only use environment here for Apple capability handling.
- Prefer
UserButton with signedOutContent for signed-out entry affordance.
- Use signed-out content action to open the auth sheet.
- Auth presentation pattern
- Present
AuthView() in a sheet by default.
- Keep default combined behavior from
AuthView() (no sign-in-only/sign-up-only override by default).
- Do not use full-screen replacement or push navigation by default unless explicitly requested.
- Apple capability requirement
- If Apple is enabled in the environment and the app is missing Sign in with Apple capability, add it.
- Quickstart prerequisites are complete
- Quickstart link was sourced from installed
clerk-ios package README, .md was appended, and the markdown page was visited/read.
- Required project setup from quickstart is present.
- Any missing quickstart-required Associated Domains/capabilities were added, not just reported.
- Quickstart
Add associated domain capability step was applied, including webcredentials:{YOUR_FRONTEND_API_URL}.
- Default entry is prebuilt + sheet
- Signed-out state uses
UserButton(signedOutContent:) (or explicitly approved alternative).
AuthView() is presented in .sheet.
- Environment check used for Apple enablement
- Installed
ClerkKitUI Environment field usage was inspected before calling /v1/environment.
/v1/environment response was used to determine Apple-enabled state using the same ClerkKitUI field semantics.
- No default sign-in-only/sign-up-only prebuilt mode
- Default entry uses
AuthView() behavior (combined).
- Apple capability when enabled
- If environment enables Apple and capability was missing, Sign in with Apple capability is added.
