I have implemented the Sign-In-With-Apple with Firebase. And I also have the functionality to delete a user. This is what I do:

  static Future<bool> deleteUser(BuildContext context) async {
    try {
      await BackendService().deleteUser(
        context,
      );

      await currentUser!.delete(); // <-- this actually deleting the user from Auth

      Provider.of<DataProvider>(context, listen: false).reset();

      return true;
    } on FirebaseException catch (error) {
      print(error.message);
      AlertService.showSnackBar(
        title: 'Fehler',
        description: error.message ?? 'Unbekannter Fehler',
        isSuccess: false,
      );
      return false;
    }
  }

As you can see I delete all the users data and finally the user himself from auth.

But Apple still thinks I am using the App. I can see it inside my Settings:

Also when trying to sign in again with apple, it acts like I already have an account. But I just deleted it and there is nothing inside Firebase that says that I still have that account? How can I completely delete an Apple user from Firebase? What am I missing here?

Apple and some other 3rd party identity provider do not provide APIs to do so commonly.

Access to those data may lead to privacy issue, for e.g., a malicious app can remove the authorization information after access to user profile.

But if you want to do a "graceful" logout, you can ask your users to logout from iOS Settings, and listen to the server-to-server notification for revoking.

You did actually delete the user from Firebase but Apple doesn't know about that. You should delete that information also from Apple. Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then tap on your name at the top. Then press "Password & Security", then "Apple ID logins". All Apple ID logins should be listed there and can be deleted.

so... Apple does not provide this service. But I found a workaround.

My sign in process:

1. Check if user signed in before

  // Create an `OAuthCredential` from the credential returned by Apple.
  final oauthCredential = OAuthProvider("apple.com").credential(
    idToken: appleCredential.identityToken,
    rawNonce: rawNonce,
  );

  // If you can not access the email property in credential,
  // means that user already signed in with his appleId in the application once before
  bool isAlreadyRegistered = appleCredential.email == null;

Now to the crucial part:

2. sign in user and check if that uid already exists in Firebase

  final UserCredential result =
      await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(
    oauthCredential,
  );

  isAlreadyRegistered = await BackendService.checkIfUserIdExists(
    result.user?.uid ?? '',
  );

checkIfUserIdExists is quite simple as well:

  static Future<bool> checkIfUserIdExists(String userId) async {
    try {
      var collectionRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(
        BackendKeys.users,
      );

      var doc = await collectionRef.doc(userId).get();
      return doc.exists;
    } on FirebaseException catch (e) {
      return false;
    }
  }
