Reproducible with: 2019.4.31f1, 2020.3.19f1, 2021.1.22f1
Could not test with: 2021.2.0b12, 2022.1.0a10 (Mixed Reality Toolkit package errors)

  1. Resolution Note:

    The documentation of WebAuthenticationBroker says it must be used from UI thread: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.security.authentication.web.webauthenticationbroker.authenticateasync?view=winrt-20348#Windows_Security_Authentication_Web_WebAuthenticationBroker_AuthenticateAsync_Windows_Security_Authentication_Web_WebAuthenticationOptions_Windows_Foundation_Uri_Windows_Foundation_Uri_ ("This method must be called on the UI thread.")

    The attached project calls it from non-UI thread. Wrap the call in UI thread call and it should work:

    UnityEngine.WSA.Application.InvokeOnUIThread(async () =>
    {
    string url = "<URL>";
    var wab = await WebAuthenticationBroker.AuthenticateAsync(WebAuthenticationOptions.None, new Uri(url), new Uri("http://127.0.0.1"));

    var message = wab.ResponseData;
    Debug.Log(message);
    });
