Use az ad app create to creata a SPA

[alexander-kastil]

Could you please provide a sample on how to create an app registration of type SPA. When using:

az ad app create --display-name $app-ui --required-resource-accesses @manifest-ui.json
--oauth2-allow-implicit-flow false
--reply-urls $urlUI --query appId -o tsv

the resulting replyUrlsWithType is always

"replyUrlsWithType": [
{
"url": "http://localhost:4200",
"type": "Web"
}
],

instead of

"replyUrlsWithType": [
{
"url": "http://localhost:4200",
"type": "Spa"
}
],

This results in error: Cross-origin token redemption is permitted only for the 'Single-Page Application' client-type.

Can you please comment on how to create other platform types than web. Thank you

Please see #9501 (comment) for a the Microsoft Graph approach.

Meanwhile, we will publish the first beta version using Microsoft Graph shortly at https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/microsoft-graph-migration. You are very welcome to test it and give us your feedback. 😉

@jiasli thanks that helped ... I actually found this post before but did not take the time to try it out because there were so many posts to try ... I think for less experienced users it would be great to have some kind of application type switch in the azure cli

Why is this closed

It's not resolved or fixed, there's still no way to create a SPA app using the CLI without some frankly pretty nasty workarounds

[alexander-kastil]

@benc-uk I closed it because for a long time it seemed that nobody else cared

[benc-uk]

Apologies I thought it had been closed by one of the Azure CLI team

[MatthiasThurnbauer]

Are there any updates to that? Seems strange that there are only options for creating web or public client app registrations but not for SPAs

@benc-uk is this on the roadmap somewhere? Its very annoying we can't totally script our application because of this missing feature.
