Sent a new beta of Micro.blog for iOS 13 to beta testers. I’m really excited about this release. If you want to get the TestFlight builds, you can sign up here.

@manton Should the label about signing up with an Apple ID only show if a user is running iOS 13 or above? Because I don’t see a corresponding ‘Sign in with Apple’ button on my iOS 12 device.

@paulrobertlloyd Yes, Sign in with Apple only works on iOS 13.

@manton In which case, the label regarding Apple sign-in should only show on iOS 13.

@paulrobertlloyd Whoops, it definitely should hide all of that... I must've missed it. Thanks!

@andynicolaides Excellent! Glad to hear it.

@manton That is really nice.

@Gabz @davegullett Thanks y'all!

@Zak I'm not on any betas that use it, but I noticed that Parcel was also mentioned in the MacStories preview.

@manton Woohoo! This TestFlight version has fixed the crash on iOS 13 when writing a post and trying to delete text or edit what you’ve already written! 👍🎉

@manton Sign In with Apple is only for new blogs? Is there a way to associate it with an existing blog (different email address)

@jpayne One way is to have your Micro.blog account match your Apple ID. You can associate multiple emails with an Apple ID. But if you've already signed in once, that won't be possible... Did you use a "real" email address or Apple's private relay?

@manton I have 2 apple IDs for ancient reasons. My main appleid and my iTunes/iMessage ID - guess which one has the email associated to micro.blog? :(

@manton (also I didn't complete the signin once i realized it was the wrong email)

@jpayne Another option is you could change your Micro.blog email address under Account on the web. Or, just sign in with Apple however you want and then email help@micro.blog with the info and I'll sort it out. 🙂

@manton I’m not sure I understand this. I’d like to move to Apple ID so if I can to my micro.blog settings and change my registered email address to match my Apple ID email it will work? Or it won’t because I already signed up for micro.blog?

@ronguest It will work! The way it can get confused is if you use Sign in with Apple with a new email address, which creates a new account on Micro.blog.

@manton I just changed my micro.blog email to match my Apple ID so this is my first step to this particular future. My Apple ID is a mac.com address which I never use for email. Feels a bit weird.

@manton this all sounds really cool - but I will wait until you go full production … definitely the right thinking.

@ronguest After everything is working, you can change your email address back. When your Apple ID is associated with your Micro.blog account it will stick.

@manton @paulrobertlloyd I got a "Sign with Apple" on macOS Mojave in the DayOne app 🤔 I'm on the latest 10.14.6 tho.

@manton Thanks. Complete non-sequitir but I keep hoping some day Apple will let all the domains work as my Apple ID (iCloud, me.com and mac.com). I guess the number of users effected is rather small.

@manton haha. I'll go for the former option, thanks! BTW does this work for indieauth logins?

@ronguest they work for me I think... where do you see it not work?

@jpayne It’s been awhile but Home Sharing on the AppleTV would fail. Apple support said they all had to be identical.

@ronguest ahhh. I see what you mean. They work but independently.

@manton thank you! It is a magical experience:)

@manton These questions about using/moving to “Sign in with Apple” seem like they might want a FAQ, either as a blog post or on the Help site?

@smokey Definitely. I haven't published anything since it's still a beta and there's a chance it will get hung up in App Review and not be ready.

@smokey Actually, I spoke too soon... It was approved! Whew. I'll finish writing the blog post and help. 🙂

@manton so does this mean as my email on MB is my Apple ID one I could now mitigate the email key dance if I need to sign in ? Not that it matters either way for me

@adamprocter Yes, if the email matches you can sign directly in on iOS without the email confirmation.

@manton nice / thanks / well done

@manton 👍
