Cleats Club app for iOS: No Apple Logo on the "Sign in with Apple" button

 iOS 18.2

Cleats Club app for iOS (version 1.1.3)

12/17/2024

Description:

Here's an odd one that I haven't seen before. An app called "Cleats Club" has the similar "Sign in with Apple" option that many apps have. 

The issue here is that this app's "Sign in with Apple" button is lacking the Apple logo. Here's a screenshot of how it looks inside the app:


I have downloaded many, many apps that have the Apple sign-in option. I cannot recall an app that had a "Sign in with Apple" app that lacked an Apple logo. 



I can't seem to find an exact requirement for the logo, but it seems clear that Apple's guidelines for implementation of the button imply that it's required. 


Here's some example of the "system-provided buttons" - as you can see, the logo is a prominent part of providing a sense of legitimacy to the button.

Two "Sign in with Apple" buttons for use on white backgrounds...


Two more buttons for use with "White with outline"

With black.

There's an admonition that Apple's "App Review evaluates all custom Sign in with Apple buttons." 


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Cleats Club app for iOS 
2. Skip forward to the "JOIN THE CLUB" pop-up menu
3. Note the "SIGN IN WITH APPLE" button 

Result: the "Sign in with Apple" button inside of the Cleats Club app lacks an Apple logo

Expected: the "Sign in with Apple" button used by the Cleats Club app should, presumably, include the Apple logo
