401 Error while connecting Azure web app with custom connector in PowerApps

I have followed https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/create-custom-connector-aad-protected-azure-functions to configure Azure AD authentication to my Azure Webapp (article describes with Azure function). In this web app I am having API which I am calling as https://mysite.azurewebsites.net/api/Plugin. This is working fine if I don't have any authentication for my web app. Based on the documentation I have configured azure AD authentication by creating new app registration and secret. In PowerApps I have created custom connector and selected authentication as OAuth2.0 and provided necessary details. While testing it is giving 401 unauthorized exception. What I am missing in this configuration?

    Hi there, this is a late reply. I got a very similar issue. I created a Function App and used a custom connector in PowerApp to connect to my functions. Also getting the same 401 error when I test the connector.

    I resolved this issue by going to my Function App's Authentication setting (new version of authentication, not classic), edited the setting for Identity Provider, and changed Issuer URL and removed 'v2.0'.
