It's going to be mandatory to have it in their apps.
Having it also on the website it's their good heart and logic (because how else people who created accounts on their mobile phones could log into the web app).
I tried the new Apple login in one app that I was logged into with my Facebook account. Unfortunately when I logged out and back in with the Apple login all of the profile settings in the app were gone (profile page, bookmarked articles etc.). It did create a whole new profile for me. That's the problem I have at the moment with the new Apple login. I should also mention that my Facebook mail address is not the same as the Apple ID one (I don't know if it would have been different if the addresses were the same).I’ve been replacing my Facebook logins for months as apps added Sign In With Apple and managed to complete my list with the latest wave of additions. I have nothing logged in via Facebook and it feels good.
Here’s a good place to start:
Log into Facebook
Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know.m.facebook.com
This will show you every app and site you’re logged into via Facebook. Go into each app, log out and if there’s a Sign In With Apple button, you can typically replace the Facebook login if your Apple ID is the same email as your Facebook account. You’ll just have to forgo the hidden email feature.
Once you’ve logged in via Apple, you can delete the Facebook link in that same app list on Facebook.
So my question would be: Is there a way to carry the profile over in such a case or does the app need to get updated to support such a feature?
There’s a bigger list I saw on reddit for it that has even more listed. Sign in With Apple

so the random email forwards the email to your personal email. Thats how it works.
Is that what you mean?

any time I am forced to sign up with Facebook or google, it’s an instant delete of that app. I don’t care what it is.
signing in with Apple means there is a chance I’ll use the app. But honestly, if it looks like they need an account just to track me, it’s still going to be an instant delete.
I am sick and tired of the disgusting data harvesting by Facebook, google, and all the apps acting as accomplices in the abuse.
I don’t download as many apps now because you don’t know how you’re being tracked—you can thank the weather apps for being the final straw there—and I have purged my devices of all apps I don’t use regularly because I dont need trackers on my phone.
i am glad Apple is offering this service. But I don’t have the time to read privacy policies—nor should I—nor go make changes to privacy seekings with their dark pattern designs to obfuscate the best choices for me, so the reality is I simply don’t buy or use new apps or as many apps because of the privacy abuse.

I used it with Instacart and it was easy and seamless. Glad to see it's rolling out to more places.
Not a lot to read, and then it applies to all logins you do regardless of service.
Today is April 30th, the original deadline for Sign In With Apple compliance.
While Apple has pushed back the date to June 30th making Sign In With Apple mandatory for updates to existing apps that include social sign ins, all new apps must comply as of today. No new apps will be approved without it.
Over the next 2 months, we're sure to see all the major apps and independent developers supporting Apple's sign in method. I'm not aware of a master list of apps that use Facebook's sign in method, but I assume that it's very very extensive. As of June 30th, all of them must comply.
Sign In With Apple will become as ubiquitous as Facebook Connect which was built steadily over 14 years while Apple’s adoption will be compressed into less than a year.
Here’s the running wiki list of apps with Sign In With Apple, so far:

If you know of any apps not yet listed, please update the wiki. If you know of any apps that removed social sign ins to get away from adding Sign In With Apple, there’s a place on that list for that too.

Sign In With Apple - Supported Apps & Sites
It’s been a few months since the release of iOS 13 and Sign in with Apple is having a very slow rollout. While some major apps like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, TikTok and Wordpress have recently added it, most of the top apps have yet to support Apple’s sign in. That might be about to change...

On the other hand, Facebook didn't resort to banning apps that didn't use their sign-in.
Developers don't have to use Sign In With Apple. They can build their own. But if they include Facebook's, which is built upon harvesting user data, then they have to offer users the option of privacy.
How would Facebook even enforce this when they don’t own have own app distribution store?
Obviously, they couldn't. But they way Apple is forcing Apps that use other sign ins to also use their sign in is sailing close to anti-competitive behaviour.
I see it as a necessary evil. A feature like sign-in-with-Apple is something which has a lot of benefit to the end user but there is no incentive for developers to implement it because there’s nothing in it for them.
This is unlike Facebook login, which sucks our data and shares it with both Facebook and the developer. This is unethical and developers should feel ashamed for supporting said feature.
I want every app that can make use of Apple ID login to support it, and it means Apple has to be heavy-handed about this, then I am behind Apple every step of the way.
