Approving app by tenant admin does nothing and “Invalid ID for a SharePoint App”

Question

I have a provider hosted app that requires permission to read "user profile". When I add the permission in my manifest file and deploy it I get the message "Your tenant administrator has to approve this app". Since I am a TA I request approval and also approve the app on the "/appcatalog/apprequest"(_layouts/15/addanapp.aspx) page. After that the app on my "waiting for approval"-page, it says "Approved" under the app but:

1. When I go to site content page it still says that my app needs approval and I can chose to re-do the approval again and again

2. When I click on "app information" on the addanapp.aspx-page I get the message "Invalid ID for a SharePoint app".

I have registered the app with _layouts/appregnew.aspx, generated client ID and client secret, and copied those values to my add-in before deploy

STEP 1 - When clicking on app as "installing user"

STEP 2 - Approving the app as tenant administrator

STEP 3 - Back as "installing user".

When going back to app-->Information I still get the message from step 1 and its stuck on last version

Answer 1

There are some changes to the approval step.

After your first step, go to the App catalog > App Requests list as below:

Now click on the App in the app request lists. Since, you are tenant admin, you should see the below screen. Click on the Approve button here.

3) Now, go to your site and install and trust the app again. It should work now.
