Hello Martin,

I've forwarded your issue on to the Submission API team and will let you know if they think there is an issue. That said, I currently have no issues accessing the API and I haven't heard of other users seeing this issue. I would double-check to see if you're authenticating correctly and that you're using the proper endpoints for your request.

Best of luck,
-Daniel Belcher

Hello again,

Store API team said they have seen this issue from users whose AAD app was not onboarded to Dev Center. They recommend you step through the prerequisites again.

Just an update, I've created new Azure AD app in Dev dashboard and it seems to work now.
Anyway the server should definitely return better error code when the credentials are no longer valid, definitely not 5xx code which should be used only for server-side errors. Maybe 401 Unauthorized?
