Seeing the same thing. Looks to me like an upstream change has made http:// an invalid home page URL scheme.

I have a local fix.

The official release with the fix will be out in 2 weeks. For now, 2 options below. Please note, not all tenants enforce the https, so likely the tenant of your personal subscription still work.

use docker docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:dev
use generic commands for now, e.g.

az ad app create --display-name "app123"  --end-date 2020-12-31 --identifier-uris "http://app123" --key-type password --password "verySecret"

(copy the appID from the result) 

az ad sp create --id <the appID>

(wait for a minute or so)

az role assignment create --assignee <the appID> --role contributor --scope /subscriptions/<your subscription id>

Hi folks here, I chatted with AAD graph team, and confirmed that rejecting http based homepage uri is not a correct service behavior, which means we likely experienced a transient server error. I tried several times just now and can’t reproduce this error any more. So I would appreciate anyone here can also try again. If see the same error, please share with me the verbose trace (using --debug) for me to open an internal support ticket right away. I can be reached at yugangw at microsoft dot com

Same issue here … It is blocking us from doing an important experiment
