then you will have to wait for MS reenabling SPO accepting 'user_impersonation' scope (there is a ticket already) 🙂

Perneel, here is your workaround 🙂

#if DEBUG
            var credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions() { ClientId = "the-client-id" });
#else
            var credential = new Azure.Identity.DefaultAzureCredential();
#endif

var token = await credential.GetTokenAsync(new Azure.Core.TokenRequestContext(new[] { "https://yourtenanthere.sharepoint.com/.default" }));
log.LogInformation(token.Token);

The app registration the 'the-client-id' refers to looks like this

As a result, you are able to get an access token via the the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE and your browser while debugging your code locally in VS

elnurrr Thanks for the response. I did a similar workaround but with a certificate instead.
