Description

Upgrades Microsoft Identity Client (MSAL) dependencies from 4.78.0 to 4.79.2 for Azure.Identity and Azure.Identity.Broker.

Changes

  • Dependencies: Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client, Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal, and Microsoft.Identity.Client.Broker to 4.79.2 in eng/Packages.Data.props

  • API Compatibility: Suppressed obsolete warning in ManagedIdentityClient.cs for GetManagedIdentitySource() static method. Method remains functional; deprecation targets instance usage pattern.

  • Test Infrastructure: Made StaticCachesUtilities.cs resilient to MSAL internal API changes by gracefully handling missing reflection targets

  • Changelog: Added entries documenting dependency updates in both Azure.Identity/CHANGELOG.md and Azure.Identity.Broker/CHANGELOG.md
