Hi Steve

 

Many thanks for providing the code.  My app is still working but if I ever need to get new tokens or install the app on another machine I'll run into issues and hence very interested in your solution.

I'm guessing it is an environmental issue but if you or anyone else has any suggestion sit would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Not sure. Build | Clean solution and/or nuking the bin folder is always my start point for weird issues.  You could check this out:

Failing that, see this post, showing you don't actually need the WebView2 update just yet.

    Hi Steve

     

    I opted for your last resolution and am thankful it works fine.  I've noted the qualification around not needing WebView2 "just" yet, but many thanks in getting past this issue.

     

    Cheers
