Is Azure AD interactive authentication supported on mobile?

[thenextman]

Running on .NET 6 on an iOS system and attempting to use interactive Azure authentication seems like it can never work.

The browser is launched and it's possible to authenticate, but then attempts a redirect to localhost (which can never succeed). The only way out is to cancel the authentication, making the connection fail.

On NET Core, the redirect URL is always set to localhost:

However, this cannot work on mobile (as per the underlying Azure.Identity / MSAL implementations). Is this supported or supposed to work somehow? It's not clear.

@thenextman Sorry for delayed response. I believe MSAL suppose to work as per documentation here https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet/wiki/Acquiring-tokens-interactively.
and using localhost is prbably expected:

Sqlclient is doing same:

SqlClient/src/Microsoft.Data.SqlClient/src/Microsoft/Data/SqlClient/ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationProvider.cs

Line 393 in 2b31810

return await app.AcquireTokenInteractive(scopes)

I had issues while trying to Repro it with browser pop-up. Can you provide simple App that reproduces it?

Hello @Kaur-Parminder ,

For a test app to reproduce the issue, you can check the project that I have linked here: #2062 (comment)

Thank you,
