The demo app's SDK usage does not match the SDK types #38

For some reason the example app is written in plain JS, not TS. So, there's no type verification.

Looks like the type for RequestorBuilder constructor call https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-verifiable-credentials/blob/main/issuer/app.js#L86 does not match at all to the type in the SDK: https://github.com/microsoft/VerifiableCredentials-Verification-SDK-Typescript/blob/cadc9c787315662d561a32e7c83c22c2983f9f95/lib/api_oidc_request/RequestorBuilder.ts

When I've debugged the application and checked how the payload is populated https://github.com/microsoft/VerifiableCredentials-Verification-SDK-Typescript/blob/cadc9c787315662d561a32e7c83c22c2983f9f95/lib/api_oidc_request/Requestor.ts#L49 - sure enough, it was full of undefineds.

Even if the application works somehow, it's a terribly confusing example, since the code is obviously incorrect.

On top of that, even the field naming in that new RequestorBuilder call is very weird: schema.uri is set to credentialType (which is an array), but issuance[0].manifest is set to an URL. Something is definitely amiss here.

@kyegupov Do you have a working example for TS? Would be very much appreciated.

@strumswell sorry, no. I could not figure out how to use it properly, and we decided not to use this technology on our project.
