clerk deploy treats a native-only Sign in with Apple setup as missing web credentials and keeps asking for them, and clerk doctor can report a valid Platform API key as "not logged in". This fixes both, and adds the Native API helpers the iOS setup in #510 and #512 builds on.

Deploy

  • Apple configured with only a bundle_id (no client_id, client_secret, team_id, or key_id, the same rule the backend uses) is native-only. It counts as configured once production Apple is enabled for authentication, the Bundle ID has exactly one production iOS registration, and Native API is enabled.
  • Until then, the wizard offers to add Apple web credentials. Declining prints what to fix, with a link to the production Native Applications page, and pauses the deploy the same way skipping any provider does.
  • clerk deploy status adds nativeAppleReadinessIssue (bundleId, reason, dashboardUrl) to the report, and nextAction includes the matching guidance.
  • Hosted Apple setups are unchanged.

Native API helpers (lib/plapi.ts)

  • getNativeSettings, enableNativeApi, listIOSApplications, and createIOSApplication (with an Idempotency-Key), in the same shape as the Android helpers in feat(init): automate native Android setup #483 so they can share nativeUrl and the response checks.
  • Config writes accept ifMatch, which PLAPI enforces (ConfigVersionConflict).
  • fetchApplication can skip secret keys with { includeSecretKeys: false }.

Doctor

  • Recognizes CLERK_PLATFORM_API_KEY and verifies it with a read-only application list.
  • When OAuth userinfo rejects a session, the same application list is tried. Only a confirmed read turns the result into a pass; anything else keeps the existing "expired" result.

Auth

  • Concurrent OAuth token refreshes in one process share a single refresh, so a rotating refresh token isn't redeemed twice.

First of three: #510 adds the setup engine and #512 connects it to clerk init and clerk doctor.

Validation: 3,174 unit tests pass, along with formatting, lint, and type checking. Credential-backed E2E wasn't run locally.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Platform API support for native Apple settings and iOS application registrations, with response validation and idempotency and conditional-match headers. Deploy and deploy status now inspect Apple authentication, Bundle ID registration, and Native API readiness, then report readiness-specific guidance. Concurrent getValidToken calls share an in-flight resolution. The changes also update API test fixtures and adjust the WebSocket probe type cast.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Suggested reviewers: wyattjoh

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4714c

Users who have a native Bundle ID set but still need Apple web sign-in cannot configure web credentials through clerk deploy. The command either skips the web credential prompt or stops with a native-readiness error. Deploy status output can also print a misleading "Failed" message and omit Apple guidance while DNS setup is still in progress. Fix the hosted-setup path before merging.

Allow hosted Apple setup when bundle_id is present without hosted credentials.

inspectNativeAppleConfiguration treats any Apple config with a non-empty bundle_id and no hosted identifier as native-only. nativeAppleCredentialsAreAlreadyConfigured then either returns true for ready or throws for native readiness errors. In both cases, the hosted credential prompt does not run.

This blocks users who want both native and hosted Apple sign-in. Add an explicit configure web credentials choice when hosted credentials are absent, including when native configuration is ready. Keep the native readiness guidance as the alternative. Do not automatically create an iOS registration or infer an App ID Prefix.

Human mode drops Apple readiness guidance while the domain is pending.

deployNextStep attaches nativeAppleReadinessIssue to the records_available, records_unavailable, ssl_pending, and finalizing steps. agentNextAction in packages/cli-core/src/commands/deploy/status.ts (Lines 751-786) appends that guidance. humanNextAction uses the issue only in oauth_pending. A person with pending DNS and an Apple problem (for example registration-missing or native-api-disabled) sees no Apple guidance. When DNS completes, they get a second, separate blocker.

In each domain-pending case of humanNextAction, append humanNativeAppleReadinessNextAction(step.nativeAppleReadinessIssue) when the issue is present. Widen the parameter type of humanNativeAppleReadinessNextAction so it accepts the issue from any step kind.

Remove the nested spinner. It prints "Failed" for an error the code then handles.

This inner withSpinner runs inside the outer withSpinner("Reading production configuration...") started at Line 315. In human mode, two clack spinners then write to the same output at the same time. If a native read rejects, withSpinner calls s.error("Failed") before it rethrows. The catch at Line 345 then turns the error into verification-unavailable, and the status command continues. The user sees "Failed" for a recoverable condition, and the overlapping spinners can garble the outer spinner line.

Call the reads directly inside the outer spinner.

Proposed fix
-              nativeAppleConfiguration = await withSpinner(
-                "Reading production Native Application settings...",

-                  );
-                },
-              );
+              const [iosApplications, nativeSettings] = await Promise.all([

- Ask about Apple web credentials only while native Apple isn't ready, and
  pause like a skipped provider instead of failing, linking the production
  Native Applications page.
- Share one native readiness lookup between `deploy status` and the wizard,
  and keep its guidance in copy.ts.
- Shape the Native API helpers like the Android ones (#483): shared URL
  builder, escaped IDs, checks on the fields used, error codes, If-Match.
  Drop the application validator applied to every fetchApplication call.
- Keep doctor's "expired" result unless the Clerk API confirms access.
- Leave hosted Apple saves unchanged and revert an unrelated cast.
