Question

I have a test app created in .NET with the DrEdit example. I have published this to the testusers group so I can open it in Chromes webstore. But everytime I access it it will ask for permissions “My App is requesting permission to:”.

Is this expected behavior or is this a mishap in my .NET app?

By setting approval_prompt=force Google does exactly what they specify in their documentation:

Indicates if the user should be re-prompted for consent. The default is auto, so a given user should only see the consent page for a given set of scopes the first time through the sequence. If the value is force, then the user sees a consent page even if they have previously given consent to your application for a given set of scopes.

So when you set that value, you cannot expect something else.

You should better hunt for the cause of the other problem you’re having instead of implementing some workaround without understanding its consequences. If you need help by finding that cause, feel free to post a new question where you provide the relevant parts of your code with some context and I’m sure someone can help you with that.
