Repro
I am using a clean Xamarin Forms project file I implement the MSAL library LOWER than version 2.0 I implement the simplest possible interaction with MSAL (see code snippet below): The app works as expected on iOS and Android, launching the login page I update MSAL to any version higher than 2.0 I follow the instructions to add <CodesignEntitlements>Entitlements.plist</CodesignEntitlements> I enable keychain access and specify com.microsoft.adalcache I clean and rebuild the app Now instead of launching the login page, the exception ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object’ is triggered Upgrading Android does not result in this error I have also attempted to use a later version of MSAL 2.0 in at least two code samples on GitHub and both fail in similar ways even after making the keychain changes
authenticationResult = await ADB2CClient.AcquireTokenAsync(
Constants.Scopes,
App.UiParent);
Expected behavior iOS should still launch the login page.
Actual behavior Object reference not set to an instance of an object’

Thanks @Journeyman42 - glad it was a quick fix. Here’s our documentation on the UIParent for iOS in case others stumble upon this issue as well.
@SravanthiKare missed your reply. This has been fixed. Please try the latest version of MSAL.
