I want to Publish my app To AppSource but i get this Error Message: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'authContext'

[fofanasbsi]

Hello Freddy,
I've been trying to migrate my app in AppSource in the CI/CD under github actions, but I'm getting this error.
I don't know what mistake I'm making.

Error: Unexpected error when running action. Error Message: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'authContext' because it is null., StackTrace: at <ScriptBlock>, D:\a\_actions\microsoft\AL-Go-Actions\v4.0\Deliver\Deliver.ps1: line 467 <- at <ScriptBlock>, D:\a\_temp\d055374f-e5ff-4f35-bea8-30781453e01c.ps1: line 4 <- at <ScriptBlock>, <No file>: line 1

If you could include the full log of the deliver action, then I might be able to see what's wrong.
My assumption is that your AppSourceContext secret is somehow wrong

Hello,

Here is the full log, is it enough or do you need more details ?

Let me know.

It looks like your AppSourceContext secret is empty???
AppSourceContext secret needs ot be compressed JSON containing the ClientId and ClientSecret for the app you have registered in partner center.

Example:

{"clientID":"aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee","clientSecret":"ixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","tenantID":"yourtenant.com","Scopes":"https://api.partner.microsoft.com/.default"}

[Steven-SBSI]

No, not empty but with wrong information.

Thanks.
Steven
