Description

Describe the bug

Since updating to Microsoft Graph SDK version 6.17.0, our functions for updating/patching an application's 'oauth2PermissionScopes' seem to be failing in our Kotlin app.

Java Version: 17
Kotlin Version: 2.1.0

For example, if I try to change the 'oauth2PermissionScopes' name from "Files.Read" to "Directory.Read," the response from the 'Application patch' function is null. I assume this is a good sign since, when I debug and intentionally cause an error, such as by using an incorrect application ID (or object ID), I do receive an error response.

executed code to patch application:

fun updateApplication(app: Application) {
        try {
            graphServiceClient.applications()
                .byApplicationId(app.id)
                .patch(app)
        } catch (e: ApiException) {
            ...
        }
    }

applicationToUpdate.api.oauth2PermissionScopes JSON object:

[
  {
    "id": "1234abcd-12ab-12ab-12ab-123456abcdef",
    "name": "Files.Read",
    "type": "User",
    "consentDisplayName": "Read your files",
    "consentDescription": "Allows the application to read your directories"
  }
]

However, when using version 6.16.0, the application’s 'oauth2PermissionScopes' are updated successfully after calling the patch function. In contrast, when performing the same operation with version 6.17.0, the 'oauth2PermissionScopes' remain unchanged (in this case, still showing "Files.Read").

Expected behavior

I'd expect, that the 'oauth2PermissionScopes' would be updated the same as in version '6.16.0'.

How to reproduce
  1. search a test application
  2. create an application object of the test application
  3. change the oauth2PermissionScopes name
  4. run the application patch function using the object id you copied and the application object copy you created
SDK Version

=> 6.17.0
