New-MgApplicationOwnerByRef fails with "Invalid URL format"

[garretth9]

Describe the bug

I suspect this is related to issue #3154 but i dont see any reference to the New-MgApplicationOwnerByRef function there.

Attempting to assign application owners using powershell using a script that was previously working. In version 2.26.0 it is failing with an error of
Invalid URL format specified in payload. Status: 400 (BadRequest)

Expected behavior

specified owner should be assigned to the app

How to reproduce

$appId = '<app id for the app in question>'
$application = Get-MgApplication -All -Filter "AppId eq '$appId'"
$ownerId = (Get-MgUser -UserId '[email protected]').Id
$params = @{ "@odata.id" = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryObjects/${ownerId}"}
New-MgApplicationOwnerByRef -ApplicationId $application.id -BodyParameter $params

SDK Version

Other information

Debug output indicates that the forward slashes are all being stripped from my body parameter, I suspect this is causing the problem. I confirmed with a coworker running 2.18.0 that his debug output does not have the slashes stripped from the body parameter and his works correctly.

Hi @garretth9 sorry for the experience and yes it is related to #3154 and I'll therefore close this as a duplicate. In the meantime please upgrade to 2.26.1
