SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) on Azure for an iOS app? You're diving into the deep end, my friend. But hey, no worries, I've got you covered. Let's break it down into bite-sized steps.

Libraries are Your Friends: First off, pull in a SAML-supporting library to your iOS project. Libraries like OneLogin or SimpleSAMLphp are solid choices.

Config, Config, Config!: You've gotta configure Azure AD on the Azure portal, of course. Head over to "Enterprise applications," choose your app, and set up single sign-on with SAML.

Endpoints are Key: Grab the Login, Logout, and Redirect URIs. Keep 'em safe; you'll need them.

Into the Code: In your iOS app, use the SAML library to create a SAML request. Redirect the user to Azure's SAML login URL, tacking on the request you've just made.

Wait for it...: The user gets sent off to Azure for authentication. Once they log in, Azure sends a SAML response back to the Redirect URI you specified.

Catch and Release: Your app needs to catch that incoming SAML response. Parse it with the library and—voila!—you've got the user's token and claims.

Finishing Touches: Use that token for secure communication between your app and backend.

Test the Waters: Last but not least, test everything out. Nothing beats the sweet smell of success, am I right?
