Apple OAuth2 Provider for Laravel Socialite

#Laravel SocialiteProviders/Apple Package

The socialiteproviders/apple package enables Laravel applications to authenticate users via Apple ID using Laravel Socialite. This integration simplifies the process of adding "Sign In with Apple" functionality to your application.

#Key Features:

• Simple Integration: Leverage Laravel Socialite for streamlined OAuth handling.
• Configurable: Easily configure client IDs, secrets, and redirect URIs through Laravel's config/services.php.
• Dynamic Client Secret Management: Supports generating JWT token-based client secrets with a maximum lifetime of 6 months, crucial for maintaining "Sign In with Apple" sessions.
• Event Listening: Utilize Laravel's event system to hook into Socialite's OAuth flow.
• User Data: Retrieve basic user information such as id, name, and email.

#Installation:

1. Require the Package:

   composer require socialiteproviders/apple

2. Configuration: Add the following to your config/services.php:

   'apple' => [
     'client_id' => env('APPLE_CLIENT_ID'),
     'client_secret' => env('APPLE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
     'redirect' => env('APPLE_REDIRECT_URI')
   ],

   Refer to external guides for setting up Apple ID authentication and generating the client secret:

3. Add Event Listener: Register the event listener in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider:

           \SocialiteProviders\Apple\AppleExtendSocialite::class.'@handle',
       ],
   ];

#Basic Usage:
