Issue description

We have some webApiPermissionRequests defined in spfx package-solution json file

"webApiPermissionRequests": [
      {
        "resource": "Azure AD app name",
        "scope": "user_impersonation"
      },
      {
        "resource": "Microsoft Graph",
        "scope": "User.Read, AllSites.FullControl"
      }
    ]

In PowerShell I am trying to approve these permission requests using

$permissionRequests = Get-PnPTenantServicePrincipalPermissionRequests
    foreach ($req in $permissionRequests)
        {
            if ($req.PackageName -eq "$muhimbiPackageName")
            {
                Write-Host "Granting permissions $($req.Name) $($req.Scope)"

                Approve-PnPTenantServicePrincipalPermissionRequest -RequestId $req.Id -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable approveRequestError -OutVariable approveRequestResult | Out-Null

                if (![String]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($approveRequestError) -And -Not($approveRequestError -imatch "already exists"))
                {
                    Write-Host "approveRequestError: $approveRequestError"
                    $grantedAllPermissions = $false;
                    Write-Host "Failed" -ForegroundColor Red
                }
                else
                {
                    Write-Host "Success" -ForegroundColor Green
                }

                Write-Host ""
            }
        }

But I am getting below error:
approveRequestError: The service principal for permssion request {SPFX_App_Name} could not be found.

Please note there is a typo in "permssion"

Script was working fine few days ago but started giving error recently

I tried the SP online powershell as well
Get-SPOTenantServicePrincipalPermissionRequests and Approve-SPOTenantServicePrincipalPermissionRequest
getting same error

Tried
Enable-SPOTenantServicePrincipal it gives us "Unknown Error"

I checked below service principal exists:

1. "SharePoint Online Client Extensibility Web Application Principal"
2. "GraphAggregatorService" or "Microsoft Graph"
3. Azure AD app created by us

Manually approving the permission works just fine

Any updates on this issue? We are having the same problem recently.

Just a +1 also having the same issue, which is a double pain as the web gui also doesn't work (with an MSAL iframe error)
