Description

Is there a way to initialise a new instance of AuthState from access token and refresh token withouth showing again SSO web login window? I need to pass tokens between two apps and recreate AppState on the destination app.

Research direction

Start by locating the AuthState and AppState entry points in AppAuth-iOS and review how access and refresh tokens are currently stored or restored. Confirm whether the SDK exposes a supported initialization path for tokens passed from another app; done means the destination app can recreate its authentication state without showing the SSO login window.
