[Bug] MsalCacheHelper.RegisterCache not working as expected after version upgrade

[PavanKumarCoder]

Library version used

4.58.1

.NET version

.Net Framework 4.8

Scenario

PublicClient - desktop app

Is this a new or an existing app?

The app is in production, and I have upgraded to a new version of MSAL

Issue description and reproduction steps

IPublicClientApplication.AcquireTokenInteractive is not creating the cache file specified using the MsalCacheHelper.RegisterCache.

This issue started appearing ever since we upgraded the Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal library from 2.31.0 to 4.58.1.
Microsoft.Identity.Client was also upgraded from 4.54.1 to 4.58.1.

Prior the upgrades, the cache file was getting created and everything was fine. However, after upgrade the cache file is not getting created and we are getting continuous login popups.

IPublicClientApplication.AcquireTokenSilent is continuously failing because there is no cache file.

Relevant code snippets

No response

Expected behavior

IPublicClientApplication.AcquireTokenSilent shouldn't fail after initial authentication when we specify the cache file and cache directory.

Identity provider

Microsoft Entra ID (Work and School accounts and Personal Microsoft accounts)

Regression

4.54.1

Solution and workarounds

No response

I cannot repro this @PavanKumarCoder - I tried on Windows with

var cache = await MsalCacheHelper.CreateAsync(new StorageCreationPropertiesBuilder("cache.bin", MsalCacheHelper.UserRootDirectory).Build())

Where do you put the cache file?

[PavanKumarCoder]

In this directory:

C:\Users**\AppData\Local*\

@PavanKumarCoder can you please share your code snippet where you are configuring the cache?
