    Hi GiovanniMont 

     

    The error you encountered , usually indicates that the code is trying to access a member of a reference type variable that is set to null.

     

    This can happen for a variety of reasons, but in the context of registering an application in Power BI, it can be related to a temporary issue or a specific situation in the environment that is not being handled as expected.

     

    You can try the following actions:

     

    Sometimes the problem may be temporary. Try registering the application again if it is not already registered. The problem may resolve itself.

     

    Ensure that you have sufficient permissions to register the application. You must be an administrator in a Microsoft Entra tenant, or you must enable application registration for non-administrative users.

     

    If the Power BI app registration tool is not working as expected, consider using the Azure portal directly for app registration.

     

    Ensure that application and subject object IDs are handled correctly.
