Get the ObjectID from any object I entered based on the display name?

How can I get the ObjectID from the specific Azure object I entered based on the display name?

The input can be Azure AD App, Azure AD group, or any object type.

$objID = ....

I require this to simplify the below script:

New-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId $objID `
  -RoleDefinitionName "Contributor" `
  -ResourceGroupName "newly-created-resource-group"

based on: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azroleassignment?view=azps-9.1.0

Solution

    $objID = Get-AzureADApplication -Filter "DisplayName eq '<YourDisplayName>'"
$objID.ObjectId

    RESULTS:
