'Invalid scope param' error when authenticating

I’m experiencing the error below when authenticating in my app:
{“error”:“invalid_scope”,“error_description”:“Invalid scope param”}

The corresponding HTTP call is something like:

https://marketplaceapps.monday.com/oauth2/authorize?oauth_payload_token=...

followed by a JWT string.
The decoded JWT looks like this:

{
“scope”: “me:read boards:read users:read”,
“response_type”: “code”,
“client_id”: “my-client-id”,
“redirect_uri”: “my-redirect-uri”,
“oauth_version”: 2
}

The contents of the above has all the right values afaik. The scopes are enabled in my app config.

I’ve seen this thread: Check authorization response - monday Apps & Developers / Feature Requests - API and Apps Framework - monday Community Forum

Even if I uninstall the app and reinstall it, the error persists.
The funny thing is that the behavior is not consistent, sometimes I get through to the authorization page.
I can’t reproduce this with the app that is bound to my dev environment. With that app, the authorization page is always shown.

I don’t know what I can change at this point.
Any further insights are much appreciated.

I am developing an application for monday.com.

Recently I added a new scope and got the same message.

This happens when I switch to a different authorized account.

 

Do I need to revoke access before re-authorizing?

Do I need to uninstall the app from my developer account and then reinstall it?

Is the error only in development mode?

 

Erro code:
{"error": "invalid_scope","error_description": "Invalid scope param"}

My scopes are:
scope: 'boards:read account:read'

I fixed it removing the param `app_version_id` on my url authorization request. I hope it helps.
