Description

Is your feature request related to a problem you're having? Please describe.
AppAuth-iOS is unable to function in Guided Access Mode (unless Safari is allowed, which one might suppose it is generally not). When the ASWAS call fails, the auth flow silently fails.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either:
a) The auth flow succeeds in Guided Access Mode
or
b) When the auth flow fails, a clear error is provided, whether to the caller or the user (as appropriate).

Additional context
Please see the linked PR for additional information.

Research direction

Start by investigating the ASWAS call and how its failure is propagated in Guided Access Mode. The issue is done when the authentication flow succeeds there or a clear error reaches the caller or user; the referenced linked PR is not available in this payload.
