If your app or website supports Sign in with Apple, you must configure your Apple developer account. This ensures emails are delivered to users who use Apple Relay IDs (email addresses ending with @privaterelay.appleid.com). Without this configuration, Apple's private relay service may bounce or quarantine your emails, preventing users from receiving your messages in their inboxes. For more information, refer to Sign In With Apple.

Sign In with Apple

With the release of iOS 13, Apple introduced the Sign in with Apple feature. This allows users to authenticate or sign in to websites and apps using their Apple IDs. A privacy feature, called Hide My Email, is available with this release. Users who prefer not to share their actual email addresses can create unique, app-specific email addresses. These are called Apple private relay email addresses and use the format: <unique-alphanumeric-string>@privaterelay.appleid.com. For more information, refer to Hide My Email.

How do Apple Relay IDs work?

If users do not prefer revealing their email addresses to a service, they can hide them by creating app-specific email addresses, termed "Apple private relay" email addresses. In this case, the service has visibility to the Apple Relay ID alone and can use the same for email communication. When emails are sent to these Apple relay addresses, they are automatically forwarded to the user's mailboxes.

Apple Developer Configuration

To ensure the emails are delivered to users using their app-specific email addresses, Apple has laid out a set of steps that senders/developers must perform to deliver emails successfully.

5. In the Email Sources section, click the add button (+).
6. Enter a comma-delimited list of the “Individual Email Addresses” or the “return-path/envelope domains” that will be used for email communication.
   • Find the individual email addresses for SendGrid configuration.
   • Find the envelope domains for other configurations.
7. Click Next.
8. Confirm the email sources entered and click Register. The table will display if the registered email source passed an SPF check.
