App step enabled in SP designer, set up right

these are done
The App Management Application Service has been configured to be able to grant full control permission to the SharePoint workflow.
The SharePoint Workflow Manager has been configured properly to be able to activate “Workflows can use app permissions” feature.

got the guid for Workflow
add full control
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
<AppPermissionRequest Scope="https://intranet.cmsu.com/sites/wftest" Right="FullControl" />

    Hi, @Anonymous ,

    It seems the root cause is the Permission Request XML you are using. There is no need to change the Scope your current site. Just copy/paste exactly as it appears.
