Description

Swagger spec does provide the ability to specify the authentication mechanism to be used by a particular API. It seems that Swift generation ignores that part.

Research direction
Investigate Swagger specification authentication definitions and current Swift code generation templates in the swagger codegen repository. Review how other language generators handle authentication to understand patterns. Examine the Swift templates (likely in modules/swagger codegen/src/main/resources/swift) to identify where authentication code is generated, then implement support for parsing and generating Swift authentication code accordingly.
