MSTeams Desktop Client Authentication : Popup not showing [Angular @microsoft/teams-js: 1.8.0]

[priyantha125]

Hi There, 

microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate works perfectly on teams web client but not working on the teams desktop client, 

Tried many workarounds suggested by ms community, async, using promises but nothing is worked. 
calling authenticate following microsiftTeams.initialize() is opening a browser tab instead of a desktop client popup

Any workaround for this? 

Is there a way to debug MS-teams desktop client?

Teams SDK :  @microsoft/teams-js: 1.8.0

Angular 8
microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate works on web client  but not on the desktop client

does this help? @priyantha125 authentication.authenticate() opens in external browser tab instead of pop-up window on first call -...
