ModuleInitializeException on Azure Deployment: Missing Dependencies for Microsoft.Identity.Web.Certificate Version 1.25.3

I'm using

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Identity.Web.Certificate" Version="1.25.3" />

in my project. The application runs successfully on my local machine. However, when deployed to any environment in Azure, I encounter a ModuleInitializeException error. This error message states that "Azure.Identity" cannot be loaded for the module C:\home\site\platform\app_data\modules\TestModule.Web.dll. Application Event Logs -> Error PackageReference

Upon investigation, I found that the following libraries are missing in the Azure environment, causing the issue:

These libraries appear to be related to the Microsoft.Identity.Web.Certificate package. I have tried upgrading and downgrading the package version, but the issue persists.

Any suggestions for resolving this error? Missing Libraries

The error you’re encountering ModuleInitializeException is related to missing dependencies of the Microsoft.Identity.Web.Certificate package.

  • Sometimes, transitive dependencies are not automatically included. You can do this by explicitly adding the missing packages to your project file.
<PackageReference Include="Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets" Version="4.4.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal" Version="3.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Azure.Identity" Version="1.9.0" />
  • If you’re deploying the application via Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or any CI/CD pipelines, check the build output and ensure that all relevant DLLs are being published to the output directory.
  • Makesure that your .csproj file is properly configured to copy all necessary files to the output directory.
  • Thanks @Antti K. Koskela for clear explanation I’ve referred this doc and added the below lines to my .csproj file
<PropertyGroup>
 <CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>
</PropertyGroup>

This setting ensures that all DLLs are copied to the output folder when building locally or in CI/CD.

Now after making the above changes I can see the DLLs in my Azure Web App.
