Hi all,

I am developing an outlook add in with SSO (single sign on). It works fine on other browsers OWA except Safari on mac. When it tries to get access token it occurs "An unexpected error occurred in the client." error.

I also tried with console to get access token using “OfficeRuntime.auth.getAccessToken", then same error occurred as following.

When I allow the popup windows in Safari, and run the add in again, it opens a popup with account selection and when I sign in with account, add in works as expected.

Can anyone help with this issue?

    Hi @Diluka Hewage , thanks for letting us know about this issue. This issue was also reported here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/2993. I'll paste the answer over here as well.

    There is an issue with api when ITP is enabled which is by default in safari. We have put this in our backlog. Unfortunately, we do not have any timelines to share at this point.
