+iOS: natively intercept https (universal link) redirect URIs on iOS 17.4+ using the ASWebAuthenticationSession https callback, so the authorization flow no longer depends on universal-link activation from inside the auth session — which is not triggered by server redirects and sporadically leaves authorize() pending forever (#987, #932).

+/**
+ * External user agent that uses the iOS 17.4+ ASWebAuthenticationSession https callback
+ * (ASWebAuthenticationSessionCallback callbackWithHTTPSHost:path:). With an https
+ * (universal link) redirect URI, AppAuth-iOS passes "https" as the callbackURLScheme -
+ * which ASWebAuthenticationSession does not support - so the session never intercepts
+ * the redirect and the flow has to rely on the universal link opening the app, which is
+ * not triggered by server redirects/JS navigation inside the session and is sporadically
+ * dropped, leaving authorize() pending forever (#987, #932; openid/AppAuth-iOS#367).
+ * This agent lets the session intercept the https redirect natively.
+ *
+ * Requires the callback host to be an associated domain with the webcredentials service
+ * type (entitlement + apple-app-site-association). When the association is missing the
+ * agent transparently falls back to the legacy callbackURLScheme session, preserving
+ * AppAuth default behavior.
