Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token. Swift

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

    // It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
    // This example loads the JSON access token file 
    // saved by this example: Google OAuth2 Access Token

    // The access token JSON looks like this:

    // 	{ 
    // 	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
