[BUG] 'Invalid issuer or signature.' when deploying via Certificate based Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate

[MikeMorawski]

Environment

[X] Office 365 / SharePoint Online
[ ] SharePoint 2016
[ ] SharePoint 2013

Works when using SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline v3.23.2007.1
Every version thereafter (up to current latest 3.25.2009.1) generates the following issue

Expected or Desired Behavior

I should be able to deploy an SPFx application to a tenant using a certificate based authentication:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Url -ClientId "myclientid" -Thumbprint "mythumbprint" -Tenant "mytenant"
Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path ./template.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pnp:Provisioning xmlns:pnp="http://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2019/03/ProvisioningSchema">
    <pnp:Preferences Generator="OfficeDevPnP.Core, Version=3.12.1908.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5e633289e95c321a"></pnp:Preferences>
    <pnp:Tenant>
        <pnp:AppCatalog>
            <pnp:Package Src="..\..\sharepoint\solution\my.sppkg" Action="UploadAndPublish" SkipFeatureDeployment="false" Overwrite="true" />
        </pnp:AppCatalog>
    </pnp:Tenant>
    <pnp:Templates ID="CONTAINER-PORTAL_TENANT_APP">
        <pnp:ProvisioningTemplate ID="PORTAL_TENANT_APP">
        </pnp:ProvisioningTemplate>
    </pnp:Templates>
</pnp:Provisioning>

Observed Behavior

The prior template will fail with the following:

Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate : {"error_description":"Invalid issuer or signature."}
ServerErrorTraceCorrelationId: e7767e9f-c076-b000-1ee4-fdd82b5a6c10

Steps to Reproduce

Use SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline v3.25.2009.1, create an XML containing a AppCatalog package deployment, run via ClientID/Thumbprint auth. Error generated

Thank you for reporting this issue. We will be triaging your incoming issue as soon as possible.

To clarify this issue, other parts of the template have succeeded, its just the app catalog application upload/publish failing

Got the same error under similar conditions:

In my case this error occures if the template includes the following part:

<pnp:ApplicationLifecycleManagement> <pnp:Apps> <pnp:App AppId="{parameter:AlmAppID}" Action="Install" /> </pnp:Apps> </pnp:ApplicationLifecycleManagement>

Got the same error! In my case I'm trying to provision a Office Group (SharePoint Site) with a associated Microsoft Teams Team.
On powershell it works perfectly, but when I try to do it on ASP.Net, this error occurs:

"Invalid issuer or signature."

Hi I am also getting the same issue with version 3.27.2011 using ASP.NET.

Any progress on this?
