Demonstrates how to get a Twinfield OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. React Native

  // Twinfield requires that the request to exchange the authorization code for a token must be a GET.
  // (In most cases, OAuth2 is implemented where the exchange for token HTTP request is a POST.)
  // Note: The exchange-for-token happens within Chilkat in a background thread.  After the user interactively 
  // accepts or denies authorization, the browser receives the response and redirects to localhost:<port>,
  // where Chilkat is waiting on a background thread to receive the redirect, process it, and then send the HTTP request
  // to exchange the code for a token.  This happens internally while your code below is waiting for the authorization..)

  // 4: Access Denied - OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
