Every time I click on the option, it makes the project private

Is this an App or a Classic App?  
Can you show a screen shot of your Privacy Settings please?

Okay, and you are saying that when you change to Required Sign-in, the App automatically switches to Private?

The only way I’ve been able to replicate that is as follows:

- Make sign in optional, then
- Restrict who can sign in by selecting the Users in the user table option
- Make sign in required

Doing it in the above sequence does result in the App switching to private, but that is expected behaviour. Because once you make sign in required _and_ restrict who can sign in, then by definition all users become private. And so the App is private.

Bottom line is that if you want your App to remain Public but make sign in required, then you _must_ allow Anyone to sign in.
