Description

It seems like the first name and last name is not being fetched for Apple Sign-In even if the name scope has been specified. I tried looking at the code it mentioned: https://github.com/markbates/goth/blob/4b34e1719daae56def96b42ec23ca05badf6ca24/providers/apple/apple.go#L124-L130

Since CompleteUserAuth has access to the request, I was thinking that fetching the names should be possible, though there would be a change on the method signature of FetchUser.

Just wondering if the omission was more of a limitation or was this intentional? If it's a limitation with the current implementation I'd like to take a stab at implementing this.

Research direction

Start with the Apple provider code in apple/apple.go, especially the FetchUser code around the linked lines, then trace how CompleteUserAuth passes the request. Confirm how Apple exposes the name scope and determine the required FetchUser change. Done means first and last names are available after Apple Sign-In when that scope is requested.
