When your Supabase app has a members table that joins on auth.users.id, the cleanest fix for UUID drift is to pre-create the auth.users row via the admin API with the exact UUID you want, set email_confirm: true, and let Sign in with Apple link by email. The alternative — letting Supabase auto-generate a UUID on first sign-in, then UPDATEing your members row to match — works but creates cleanup debt and breaks any foreign keys already pointing at the old id.
