A Gotcha to watch out for

One gotcha to watch out for is to make sure your registered application is configured to support the "native application" platform. :)

@tobyberesford what specific error did you observe? Either Web or Native should work. If you plan to eventually deploy as a console or background task on a remote service such as Azure, you might register the web platform with a client secret and you could even use that web app ID with the "desktop" sample e.g., just to get the initial refresh token.

You're right! I've now removed the native platform from my app and it works fine, so I can't reproduce the problem.
