Unable to grant consent for AD app with super permissions in BC with trial

I created a trial account Business Central account and am trying to set up api access using an AAD app.

I'm using the below guides to set this up

On the AAD side, I was able to create the app and grant consent there.

I believe the step I'm missing is the "Grant Consent" step in Business Central itself. I cannot grant consent though - the button is disabled. This is true for both myself (I have been granted all permissions) and for our main admin, who has all permissions. Specifically, I can see in AAD on the "Assigned Roles" page for my user I can see that I have "Global Administrator" and "Application Administrator" (and many more).

So how do grant consent in this case?

Have you tried to delete the AAD App in BC and re create it?

Hi, As far as I know, you don't need to click Grant Consent in BC.
Below are the steps I tested, I hope it can give you some hints.

Ok, it looks like I had missed a warning when configuring my test app:

"Starting November 9th, 2020 end users will no longer be able to grant consent to newly registered multitenant apps without verified publishers."

I switched it to a single tenant, then "Grant Consent" became available. It looks like I could have added an MDN publisher ID too, but I don't think that is available for a trial account. Anyways, I can use the BC API now.
