Description

It has been next to impossible figuring out the intended flow of authentication used with OIDC related functions of this
SDK, especially for the Swift bindings.

It would be great if the functionality and intended usage could be documented somewhere, or an example could be given somewhere (like with basic with login) so that it is easier to get started with OIDC authentication both using the SDK directly and through the Swift bindings.

Research direction

Start by tracing the SDK's OIDC-related functions and the Swift bindings, then compare them with the existing basic login example. Document the intended authentication flow and usage for both direct SDK consumers and Swift users, with an example showing how to get started.
