Description

Can I force AppAuth to use a certain auth method when I'm using the OIDAuthorizationRequest() method?

One IDP I'm trying to use returns all 4 alternative auth method in the configuration document, but require us to use the client_secret_jwt as the auth method. But when using OIDAuthorizationRequest it will then default to client_secret_basic.
Is there a way for me to tell AppAuth that we should only use the client_secret_jwt menthod?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the OIDAuthorizationRequest entry point and the surrounding authentication-method selection behavior in AppAuth-iOS. Determine whether client_secret_jwt can be selected through the existing API; completion would require a clear supported usage path or a scoped SDK change, with relevant tests identified during investigation.
