@zombaki The Angular 16 sample application creates a new instance of PublicClientApplication
in the app.module.ts, as you linked above. For MSAL Angular v3, initialize
is called in handleRedirectObservable
in MsalService
. As the sample application bootstraps the MsalRedirectComponent which subscribes to handleRedirectObservable
, initialize
is called when the application is run.
See the MSAL Angular upgrade guide for more details.
Closing with comment.

Description
In the documentation for migrating to version 2, we are instructed to create an instance of MSAL with two options: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/dev/lib/msal-browser/docs/v2-migration.md#application-instantiation
However, in the MSAL Angular version 3 sample, this step is not performed: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/dev/samples/msal-angular-v3-samples/angular16-sample-app/src/app/app.module.ts#L25
This discrepancy has led to confusion regarding whether the sample code is an accurate reference.
