AuthenticationToken not found in Microsoft.Identity.Client

Question

I'm trying to integrate MSAL into a .NET Maui app and I'm following the following article from Microsoft:

Add authentication to your .NET MAUI app

They ask you to install the Microsoft.Identity.Client Nuget package which I did and the next part of the article is to create a function to request the authentication token:

public async Task<AuthenticationToken> GetAuthenticationToken()

and this is what it is supposed to return:

    return new AuthenticationToken
    {
        DisplayName = result?.Account?.Username ?? "",
        ExpiresOn = result?.ExpiresOn ?? DateTimeOffset.MinValue,
        Token = result?.AccessToken ?? "",
        UserId = result?.Account?.Username ?? ""
    };

I've adjusted the function and added any missing libaries but for the AuthenticationToken, the only option it offers is to install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Abstractions.

Surely the MSAL library should contain an AuthenticationToken class without the need of having to install some Nuget package from ASP.NET Core.

Anyone has any suggestions? Is the class called something else?

Thanks

Answer 1

This AuthenticationToken is from the Microsoft.Datasync.Client nuget.

The docs you've linked tell you to add these using statements:

using Microsoft.Datasync.Client;
using Microsoft.Identity.Client;
using System.Diagnostics;

The first using is enough to have AuthenticationToken in scope.
