Reference to type 'IAuthenticationProvider' claims it is defined in 'Microsoft.Graph.Core', but it could not be found

Describe the bug

I am trying to use the graph api client with a client id and secret, to get user information from entra. I got all the calls working in postman and now i'm trying to get my azure function app to do the same thing.

Expected behavior

I have been following various samples to try and do a simple query but every time i try to create a graphserviceclient i get the compile error in the title.

Reference to type 'IAuthenticationProvider' claims it is defined in 'Microsoft.Graph.Core', but it could not be found

How to reproduce

This is my code (secret removed for obvious reasons

string[] scopes = {"https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"};
var clientId = "22820207-4185-47ce-874d-d10f6c3b9535";
var tenantId = "378620f7-aa4a-40ac-902a-2ef913d8ed69";
var clientSecret = "*****";

var clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);

var httpClient = GraphClientFactory.Create( version: "beta");

var authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(clientSecretCredential, scopes);

var adapter = new BaseGraphRequestAdapter(authProvider);

var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(adapter);

var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(adapter); this line causes the issue

Thanks for raising this @C-lare-M-oore

Any chance you can confirm the version of the library you are using? Is it the latest version available here? https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Graph.core#versions-body-tab
