Thank you so much! Saved my day! I wasn't sure how to do the sign in process with popup option setted true.

PS: Fix the note:
"The user object is only sent the first time a user logs in, the rest of the times apple will only send the authentication object.". Instead of "authentication" object write "authorization" object.

On mobile safari, it behaves quite weird.

After sign in is successful, the error "popup_closed_by_user" is fired, and the page redirects to the redirect_uri, which is practically a blank white page.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

The key takeaway for me was

Apple makes a POST request to the redirectURI that you specify, normally you'd have a link to your backend API where the data gets posted, however we can bypass this and capture the information on the frontend by using the usePopup flag. This will instead capture apple's response on the client side.

I've got a question. If you didn't have the popup, you'd still have the option for the redirectURI to be a frontend url, right? I have done this in the past for Twitter and you can just redirect to the same page you're in
