Get Google API Access Token using JSON Private Key using NIST Time Server Date/Time

Demonstrates how to get a Google API access token using a JSON service account private key, using the NIST time server date/time rather than the local system date/time. React Native

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

  // First, let's get the current date/time from time-c.nist.gov
  const socket = new Socket();

  // The time server will send a big-endian 32-bit integer representing
  // the number of seconds since since 00:00 (midnight) 1 January 1900 GMT.
  // The ReceiveInt32 method will receive a 4-byte integer, but returns
  // true or false to indicate success.  If successful, the integer
  // is obtained via the ReceivedInt property.
