IDX12729: Exception **System.MissingMethodException: Method not found:** thrown when reading the access token.

[Manishd79]

Which version of Microsoft.IdentityModel are you using?
7.3.1

Where is the issue?

• S.IM.Tokens.Jwt

Is this a new or an existing app?
a. The app is in production and I have upgraded to a new version of Microsoft.IdentityModel.*

Repro
Trying to decode the JWT token is resulting into exception. The token is retrieved using certificate and trying to fetch Payload claim values. The exception encountered is:

{"IDX12729: Unable to decode the header 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dCI6IkwxS2ZLRklfam5YYndXYzIyeFp4dzFzVUhIMCIsImtpZCI6IkwxS2ZLRklfam5YYndXYzIyeFp4dzFzVUhIMCJ9' as Base64Url encoded string."}

It is very interesting that performing a same action in a sample app on my dev box, works fine!! For this App, I have following NuGet
Microsoft.IdentityModel.*.7.5.1
System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt.7.5.1
System.Text.Json.4.7.2

var handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
var jwtToken = handler.ReadJwtToken(accessToken);
return jwtToken.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == claim)?.Value;

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen (or code).

Actual behavior
A clear and concise description of what happens, e.g. an exception is thrown, UI freezes.

@Manishd79: Did you make sure that all the Microsoft.IdentityModel* assemblies have the same version?
To check, you can run:

dotnet list yourcsrpoj.csproj package --include-transitive

@jmprieur thx for your response, since my project is in a repo I cannot use that command. However here are details from the.csproj file and all are 7.3.1
