Hello,

I am trying to programmaticaly add a bot to a group chat.

Doing a POST call to : https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{{chatid}}/installedApps

{
   "teamsApp@odata.bind":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps/{{appid}}"
}

Yields : 

{
    "error": {
        "code": "NotFound",
        "message": "NotFound",
        "innerError": {
            "message": "",
            "code": "AppDefinitionDoesntExist",
            "innerError": {},
            "date": "2023-10-05T19:42:40",
            "request-id": "<Redacted>",
            "client-request-id": "<Redacted>"
        }
    }
}

The private app is only installed for our tenant. I also tried with a version of the bot installed localy only for myself's Teams client with no success.

I have the permission TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat.All showing in the portal.azure.

I can add the bot application manualy to the Teams chat through the UI without issue. Through F12 on chrome I can see the same appid for the bot that I am using in my POST InstalledApps call. I notice that the web interface of Teams is calling https://teams.microsoft.com/api/apps/part/amer-02/beta/chats/{{chatid}}/apps/entitlements endpoint which is not the graphapi.

Anyone has an idea how to make this work?

Thanks!

    hope it can help you in implementation.
