tl;dr: New Sign in with Apple addresses will move from privaterelay.appleid.com to private.icloud.com later this year, while existing addresses continue working. iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses, however, will remain on icloud.com following community feedback. Developers should update their email validation and allowlists to accept the new private.icloud.com domain alongside the existing one.
HN Discussion:
  • Sharing the icloud.com domain prevents blocking and is a key selling point of the feature
  • Glad Apple listened to community feedback and reversed this decision
  • ~The feature creates vendor lock-in but is worthwhile given its utility
  • ~Apple should improve related aspects like alias name generation or Sign in with Apple accessibility
  • Asking for backstory/context about the decision
