Demonstrates how to get a Google Drive API access token using a JSON service account private key. React Native

import { AuthGoogle, FileAccess, Socket } from '@chilkat/react-native'

  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // First load the JSON key into a string.
  const fac = new FileAccess();

  // Choose a scope.
  gAuth.scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive';

  // Request an access token that is valid for this many seconds.
  gAuth.expireNumSeconds = 3600;

  // If the application is requesting delegated access:
  // The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access,
  // then set the email address here. (Otherwise leave it empty.)
  gAuth.subEmailAddress = '';

  // Connect to www.googleapis.com using TLS (TLS 1.2 is the default.)
  // The Chilkat socket object is used so that the connection can be established
  // through proxies or an SSH tunnel if desired.

  // Send the request to obtain the access token.
  try {

  } catch {

  // Examine the access token:
