Description

We get a lot of questions asking to vary behavior in the external user agent to support one use-case or another. This is all possible today without forking AppAuth (via OIDExternalUserAgent implementations), however it's not as well documented as it could be.

Research direction

Start by locating the OIDExternalUserAgent protocol and the existing AppAuth-iOS documentation for custom implementations. Document how to create an implementation and vary external-user-agent behavior without forking AppAuth. Done when a newcomer can follow the documented process for supporting a custom use case.
