• Token verification is part of Apple sign-in process
• The flow is
  • Client app (iOS or Android) will redirect user to the OAuth2 login screen
  • User will login
  • App will receive the tokens
  • App should send the idToken to the backend which will verify it
• Verification steps implemented:
  • Verify the JWS E256 signature using the server’s public key
  • Verify the nonce for the authentication
