[Fixed] Angular 16 and MSAL 3.0: BrowserAuthError: native_broker_called_before_initialize – Angular

The Problem:

You are developing an Angular 16 single-page application and attempting to integrate MSAL 3.0 (beta). Upon adding MSAL, you encounter a "BrowserAuthError: native_broker_called_before_initialize" error. You’re seeking assistance to resolve this issue and obtain a complete example of using MSAL with Angular Standalone Components and pop-up login.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Disable Native Broker

The error "native_broker_called_before_initialize" occurs when the MSAL native broker is called before it’s initialized. To fix this, you need to disable the native broker in your MSAL configuration:

provide: MSAL_INSTANCE,
useValue: new PublicClientApplication({
    auth: {
        ...
    },
    cache: {
        ...
    },
    system: {
        allowNativeBroker: false, // Disables WAM Broker
    }
})
