Hi! I understand you're trying to log in to the Focus Town app using your Apple account, but you can't find the button to do so. Let's figure this out together.

To start, could you please tell me a bit more? For example:
- Are you using the Focus Town app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7?
- Is the app updated to its latest version?
- Where exactly in the app are you expecting the Apple login button? On the initial login screen, or somewhere else?

Sometimes, if the app version isn't updated, certain login options might not appear. Also, double-check if your internet connection is stable since that can affect the display of login options.

Meanwhile, here are some quick steps to try:
1. Update the Focus Town app: Make sure you have the latest version installed. You can check for updates in the App Store app on your Mac. Newer versions often fix login issues, including those with Apple sign-in.
2. Restart the app: Quit Focus Town completely and reopen it; occasionally, the sign-in button appears after a fresh launch.
3. Check Apple ID restrictions on your Mac: Sometimes, privacy or content restrictions can hide Apple login buttons inside apps. To check, go to System Preferences > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions and verify if anything is blocking account changes.

If after those steps you still don't see the Apple login option, let me know. I can guide you to check some deeper app settings or account-related checks.

Are you able to tell me a bit more about what you see on your screen now? That way, I can assist you better.

I'm on an apple ipad, and Focus Town is on the latest version (I just did the update), My location does not allow phone number sign in so I used my apple account to login. But now I am trying to relogin and there's no pop-up, button or option to do so.

Thanks for those details! Since you're on an iPad with the latest Focus Town app version and your region restricts phone number logins, relying on Apple login makes perfect sense. The problem is that upon trying to relogin, there's no Apple login button or prompt showing up at all, right?

Let’s try a few focused steps to get that Apple login option back:

1. Check Internet Connection: Make sure your iPad has a stable internet connection, preferably Wi-Fi. Apple login sometimes needs uninterrupted access to communicate with Apple servers.

2. Restart the App and Device: Completely close Focus Town app by swiping it away from the app switcher, then restart your iPad. Relaunch Focus Town; sometimes this resets login options.

3. Sign Out and Back Into Apple ID on iPad: Go to Settings > [Your Name] and sign out of your Apple ID temporarily (note: this signs you out from iCloud and services too, so be careful). After signing out, sign back in, then reopen Focus Town and check if the Apple login button appears. This ensures the Apple ID session on your device is fresh.

4. Content & Privacy Restrictions: On the iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Account Changes and set it to "Allow" if it's turned off, as restrictions here can block Apple login functions inside apps.

5. Reinstall the App: Delete Focus Town from your iPad, then reinstall it from the App Store. Sometimes app data corruption can hide login options.

6. Check for iOS Updates: While you mentioned the app is updated, double-check under Settings > General > Software Update that your iPad’s iOS version is current. Older iOS versions sometimes have Apple login quirks with apps.

If after these steps the Apple login button is still missing, it may be a specific issue with how Focus Town's app interacts with Apple login in your region or an app bug.

In that case, you might want to contact Focus Town support directly for a known fix or updates regarding Apple login issues on iPad — sometimes apps disable Apple login if there's a server-side issue or regional restriction.

Let me know which steps you've tried or if you want detailed guidance on any of them! Are you able to check the Content & Privacy Restrictions setting first? That’s a common culprit for hidden Apple sign-in options.

Thanks for asking! To enable and use the Apple account login in the Focus Town app on your iPad, here are the clear steps tailored for your setup:

1. Ensure Apple ID is Active on Your iPad:
- Open Settings on your iPad.
- Tap your name at the top to access Apple ID settings.
- Confirm you are signed in with the Apple ID you want to use for Focus Town. If not, sign in or switch accounts.

2. Check "Sign in with Apple" Settings:
- Inside Settings > [Your Name] > Password & Security, check that Sign in with Apple or related settings are enabled and that there are no restrictions on account sign-ins.

3. Open or Reopen Focus Town App:
- Launch Focus Town. On the login or welcome screen, you should see the option to Sign in with Apple as a button. It might say “Continue with Apple” or show the Apple logo.

4. If the Apple Login Button Is Missing:
- Force quit the Focus Town app and restart your iPad.
- Reinstall the latest version of Focus Town from the App Store if needed.
- Also verify that your iPad iOS is updated to the latest version under Settings > General > Software Update, since Apple login features rely on system support.

5. Allow Account Changes in Screen Time Restrictions:
- Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Account Changes and make sure it is set to “Allow” so that the Apple login option can function inside apps.

6. Use the Apple Login Button to Authenticate:
- When you tap the Apple login button in Focus Town, a pop-up system dialog should appear requesting your Apple ID credentials or biometric verification (Face ID/Touch ID). Complete that to log in.

If everything is set correctly with your Apple ID on the iPad and Focus Town is updated, the Apple login button should appear on the sign-in screen by default. If it's still missing, it might be a regional or account-related issue requiring support from Focus Town's help team.

For official info on managing Apple ID sign-ins on your device, you can also check Apple’s support guide here: Manage your apps with Sign in with Apple 3

Let me know if you want me to walk through any of these steps together! Does this align with what you’re seeing so far?
