Azure Devops GitHttpClient's CreateAnnotatedTagAsync API fails

When calling GitHttpClient.CreateAnnotatedTagAsync, I keep getting "VS30063: You are not authorized to access https://dev.azure.com" even though my credentials are valid.
This is my code:
var vssConnection = new VssConnection(new Uri("ORG_URI"), new VssBasicCredential(string.Empty, "PAT"));
var gitClient = vssConnection.GetClient<GitHttpClient>();
var tag = new GitAnnotatedTag
{
Name = "tagname",
Message = "A new tag",
TaggedBy = new GitUserDate
{
Name = "Name",
Email = "Email",
Date = DateTime.Now,
ImageUrl = null
},
ObjectId = "SHA",
TaggedObject = new GitObject
{
ObjectId = "SHA",
ObjectType = GitObjectType.Commit
},
Url = string.Empty
};
var sourceRepo = await gitClient.GetRepositoryAsync("PROJECT", repoName);
// This call works
var tags = await gitClient.GetTagRefsAsync(sourceRepo.Id);
// The tag is printed to the console
Console.WriteLine(tags.First().Name);
// This throws "VS30063: You are not authorized to access https://dev.azure.com"
await gitClient.CreateAnnotatedTagAsync(tag, "PROJECT", sourceRepo.Id);

There is an issue with your PAT token. I just created a tag using your code and PAT with FULL Access:
Can you create a new token and try again?

Xamarin.Android notification with custom controls does not work in API26

I have a notification that shows a button to start a timer. This button works fine on API25, but with API26 and greater, the button does nothing.
I have already set up a notification channel. The notification itself shows up correctly, so I don't think it's a channel issue.
Here I add the play/pause intent
var playPauseIntent = new Intent("com.example.example.timer");
var timerNotificationIntentValue = this.GetTimerNotificationIntentValue(timerAction);
playPauseIntent.PutExtra("timerNotification", timerNotificationIntentValue);
const int playPauseIntentId = 0;
var playPausePendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetBroadcast(this.context, playPauseIntentId, playPauseIntent, PendingIntentFlags.UpdateCurrent);
contentView.SetOnClickPendingIntent(Resource.Id.btn_start_pause, playPausePendingIntent);
And this is how I create the notification
var channelId = "11e9a3a1-aebf-425d-a9e8-fcc2fb139664";
var channelName = "General";
NotificationChannel channel;
channel = notificationManager.GetNotificationChannel(channelName);
if (channel == null)
{
channel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, channelName, NotificationImportance.Max);
channel.LockscreenVisibility = NotificationVisibility.Public;
notificationManager.CreateNotificationChannel(channel);
}
channel?.Dispose();
Notification.DecoratedCustomViewStyle notificationStyle = new Notification.DecoratedCustomViewStyle();
notification = new Notification.Builder(this.context, "11e9a3a1-aebf-425d-a9e8-fcc2fb139664")
.SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.ic_logo)
.SetStyle(notificationStyle)
.SetCustomContentView(contentView)
.Build();
Then I just notify
notification.Flags |= NotificationFlags.OngoingEvent;
notificationManager.Notify("1", notification);
When tapping on the button, nothing happens on API26.
Something I notice, is that on API25, when I tap the button, I get to the BroadcastReceiver, whereas on API26 I don't

Changed this
var playPauseIntent = new Intent("com.example.example.timer");
to
var playPauseIntent = new Intent(this.context, typeof(MyNotificationBroadcastReceiver));
and now it seems to be working OK.

How send money to paypal account from console app?

I use PayPal-NET-SDK for interact with PayPal system (sanbox). I have next code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
var config = ConfigManager.Instance.GetProperties();
var accessToken = new OAuthTokenCredential(config).GetAccessToken();
var apiContext = new APIContext(accessToken);
var payment = Payment.Create(apiContext, new Payment
{
intent = "order",
payer = new Payer
{
payment_method = "paypal"
},
transactions = new List<Transaction>
{
new Transaction
{
description = "Transaction description.",
invoice_number = "002",
amount = new Amount
{
currency = "USD",
total = "15.00",
},
payee = new Payee
{
email = "test1#gmail.com"
}
}
},
redirect_urls = new RedirectUrls
{
return_url = "site for redirect", // in my code there is normal url
cancel_url = "site for redirect""
}
});
var approval = payment.GetTokenFromApprovalUrl();
var url = payment.GetApprovalUrl();
payment.token = approval;
var response = payment.Execute(apiContext, new PaymentExecution {payer_id = "C598R54Q6P39G" });
}
catch (PaymentsException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Response);
}
}
After executing this code i receive bad request error from PayPal ("Payer has not approved payment"). If go to link in url in debug, i get to PayPal confirm page, and after push continue button, payment executing withoue exceptions (but funds still same, money is not sending). How i can send money to other paypal wallet without redirect to PayPal aproving page?

Resolved by using payout (as i uderstand, payments use for client to merchant transfer).
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Authenticate with PayPal
var config = ConfigManager.Instance.GetProperties();
var accessToken = new OAuthTokenCredential(config).GetAccessToken();
var apiContext = new APIContext(accessToken);
var payout = Payout.Create(apiContext, new Payout
{
sender_batch_header = new PayoutSenderBatchHeader
{
email_subject = "Hello payout",
sender_batch_id = "ilab_Payout002",
recipient_type = PayoutRecipientType.EMAIL
},
items = new List<PayoutItem>
{
new PayoutItem
{
amount = new Currency
{
currency = "USD",
value = "17.5"
},
note = "Exchange is done!",
receiver = "ilab-test1#gmail.com",
recipient_type = PayoutRecipientType.EMAIL,
sender_item_id = "121341"
}
},
});
}
catch (PaymentsException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Response);
}
}
}

Display adaptive card in facebook message, bot framework

I have created an adaptive card with C# AdaptiveCard SDK. But, once I deployed to Facebook Messenger, it won't show the adaptive card.
The key part of code is like this: (including initialize IMessageActivity and set up its properties
var botActivity = (Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Activity)context.Activity;
IMessageActivity reply = botActivity.CreateReply();
reply.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.List;
reply.Attachments = new List<Attachment>();
AdaptiveCard adaptiveCard = new AdaptiveCard()
{
Body = new List<AdaptiveElement>
{
new AdaptiveColumnSet
{
Columns = new List<AdaptiveColumn>
{
new AdaptiveColumn
{
Items = new List<AdaptiveElement>
{
new AdaptiveTextBlock
{
Size = AdaptiveTextSize.Large,
Text = "*",
Color = AdaptiveTextColor.Warning
}
}
},
new AdaptiveColumn
{
Size = "1px",
Items = new List<AdaptiveElement>
{
new AdaptiveTextBlock
{
Text = "indicates mandatory fields",
Size = AdaptiveTextSize.Medium,
Wrap = true
}
}
}
}
},
new AdaptiveTextBlock()
{
Text = " ",
Spacing = AdaptiveSpacing.Medium,
}
},
Actions = new List<AdaptiveAction>()
{
new AdaptiveSubmitAction()
{
Title = "Confirm",
DataJson = "{\"Type\": \"RequestBody\"}"
}
}
};
RenderedAdaptiveCard renderedAdaptiveCard = renderer.RenderCard(adaptiveCard);
Attachment plAttachment = new Attachment()
{
ContentType = AdaptiveCard.ContentType,
Content = renderedAdaptiveCard.OriginatingCard
};
reply.Attachments.Add(plAttachment);
await context.PostAsync(reply);
I also add the adaptive card to IMessageActivity attachment, and use context.PostAsync to post the reply with attachment back to user.
Anyone has any idea why I can't see the adaptive card in Facebook Messenger?

Microsoft Bot Framework : SigninCard not showing in telegram

I tried create Telegram bot client with Microsoft Bot Framework, when I create signincard with this framework, signincard created successfully and I can see buttons in Microsoft Bot Emulator but when I publish to server and test it with Telegram, signincard not showing in bot, please tell me how to fix it.
code :
Activity reply = null;
ConnectorClient connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl), "", "");
if (activity.Type == ActivityTypes.Message)
{
if (activity.Text == "/start")
{
reply = activity.CreateReply($"Welcome, please select an option");
reply.Recipient = activity.From;
reply.Type = ActivityTypes.Message;
reply.Attachments = new List<Attachment>();
List<CardAction> cardButtons = new List<CardAction>();
var helpAction = new CardAction()
{
Image = "",
Title = "Get Menu",
Type = "imBack",
Value = "help"
};
var contactAction = new CardAction()
{
Image = "",
Title = "Contact Us",
Type = "imBack",
Value = "contact"
};
cardButtons.Add(helpAction);
cardButtons.Add(contactAction);
var sc = new SigninCard()
{
Buttons = cardButtons,
Text = ""
};
Attachment attach = sc.ToAttachment();
reply.Attachments.Add(attach);
}
else
{
}
}
await connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(reply);
sorry for bad english.

I think sign-in card type must be "signin", and the value should be url instead of string
working code:
replyActivity.Attachments = new List<Attachment>();
var cardButtons = new List<CardAction>();
var plButton = new CardAction
{
Value = auth.SessionUrl,
Type = "signin",
Title = "Connect"
};
cardButtons.Add(plButton);
var plCard = new SigninCard("You need to authorize to use Quick Book feature", cardButtons);
var plAttachment = plCard.ToAttachment();
replyActivity.Attachments.Add(plAttachment);
replyActivity.Text = "Should go to conversation, sign-in card";
