(Swift 3,4,5...) Google Calendar -- Refresh an Expired Access Token

See more Google Calendar Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh an expired access token. If a Google Calendar REST API call results in a 401 "unauthorized" response, then it is likely the access token expired. An application should be able to automatically refresh the access token with no user interaction and then re-try the request with the newly obtained access token.
