[Feature Request] Expose AuthenticationResult.TokenType with MSAL.NET

[hkuadithya]

We are migrating some legacy code in our projects from ADAL to MSAL.

Both ADAL and MSAL return an object of type AuthenticationResult after acquiring an access token.

• ADAL: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationResult
• MSAL: Microsoft.Identity.Client.AuthenticationResult

In our older code path, we rely on the type of ADAL access token i.e. AuthenticationResult.AccessTokenType to set the scheme in AuthenticationHeaderValue for making another request.

new AuthenticationHeaderValue(
    scheme: firstPartyAuthResult.AccessTokenType,
    parameter: firstPartyAuthResult.AccessToken);

MSAL's AutenticationResult does have AccessToken but it doesn't seem to have AccessTokenType (correct me If I'm wrong).

How do I determine the AccessTokenType for a MSAL auth result? Please don't suggest hardcoding the scheme to Bearer. Thanks in advance.

@bgavrilMS could you provide a timeline for the release of MSAL.NET 4.32?
I can find the current releases here but I'm waiting for 4.32: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet/releases

Is there a readme doc that indicates the timeline for releases of MSAL.NET Nuget packages?
