MSAL authentication request not completing in Xamarin application

Question

I'm trying to get my feet wet with Xamarin and I'm having trouble adding in my organization's login. The screen shot below is as far as I can get attempting to login. When I click "Continue" the same page just loads again. Not really sure what's going on.

The image is the screen I'm stuck on.

I've added code that represents the app class and the code behind for the XAML page attempting to login, leaving out what I "think" is irrelvant.

Any suggestions?

App class...

public partial class App : Application  
    {  
        public static string AzureBackendUrl =  
            DeviceInfo.Platform == DevicePlatform.Android ? "http://10.0.2.2:5000" : "http://localhost:5000";  
        public static bool UseMockDataStore = true;  
        public static IPublicClientApplication PCA = null;  
        public static string ClientID = "CLIENT_ID";  
  
        public static string[] Scopes = { "User.Read" };  
        public static string Username = string.Empty;  
  
        public static object ParentWindow { get; set; }  
  
        public App()  
        {  
            InitializeComponent();  
  
            if (UseMockDataStore)  
                DependencyService.Register<MockDataStore>();  
            else  
                DependencyService.Register<AzureDataStore>();  
  
            PCA = PublicClientApplicationBuilder.Create(ClientID)  
                .WithRedirectUri($"msal{App.ClientID}://auth")  
                //.WithParentActivityOrWindow(() => App.ParentWindow)  
                .Build();  
  
  
            MainPage = new MSAL_Example();  
        }  
    }  

MSAL_Example class...

public partial class MSAL_Example : ContentPage  
{  
    public static string tenant_name = "MY_TENANT_NAME";   
  
    public MSAL_Example()

                accounts = await App.PCA.GetAccountsAsync();  
            }  
  
            slUser.IsVisible = false;  
            Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() => { btnSignInSignOut.Text = "Sign in"; });  
  
        }  
        catch (Exception ex)

        // let's see if we have a user in our belly already

        {  
            IAccount firstAccount = accounts.FirstOrDefault();  
            authResult = await App.PCA.AcquireTokenSilent(App.Scopes, firstAccount)  
                                  .ExecuteAsync();  
            await RefreshUserDataAsync(authResult.AccessToken).ConfigureAwait(false);  
            Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() => { btnSignInSignOut.Text = "Sign out"; });  
        }  
        catch (MsalUiRequiredException ex)  
        {  
            try  
            {  
                authResult = await App.PCA.AcquireTokenInteractive(App.Scopes)  
                                          .WithParentActivityOrWindow(App.ParentWindow)  
                                          .WithAuthority("https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenant_name)

        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(message);  
        string responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();  
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)  
        {  
            JObject user = JObject.Parse(responseString);  
  
            slUser.IsVisible = true;

        else

        }  
    }  
  
}

Xamarin is not supported here on QnA. I'd try asking for help in dedicated forums here.
