Issue with User Switching in Kiosk Mode: How to Detect and Respond to User Switch Events

We have developed an application that operates within a kiosk mode environment. We've encountered an issue where the app remains signed in even after another user logs in to the device in kiosk mode.

Is there a way for our app, or in general, for us as developers, to recognize when a user switch occurs in kiosk mode? We aim to detect these events and implement a mechanism within our app to sign out the current user automatically upon user switching.

Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
