AddSigningCredentials error indicating undefined object but no project code in stack trace

Question

ASP.Net MVC project returns the following error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.DeveloperExceptionPageMiddleware.Invoke(HttpContext context)

None of my code appeared in the stack trace.

I configure the identity as follows:

    services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
        .AddRoles<IdentityRole>()
        .AddEntityFrameworkStores<AppIdentityDbContext>()
        .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

    services.AddIdentityServer()
        .AddApiAuthorization<ApplicationUser, AppIdentityDbContext>();

appsettings.json is as follows:

{
  "AppDbProvider": "sqlite",
  "AppDbFilename": "portal.db",
  "IdentityDbProvider": "sqlite",
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
    }
  },
  "IdentityServer": {
    "Key": {
      "Type": "Development"
    }
  },
  "AllowedHosts": "*"
}

`at Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ConfigureApiResources.Configure(ApiAuthorizationOptions options)` -> look at whatever you're configuring for `ApiAuthorizationOptions` — Camilo Terevinto, Jan 30 '21 at 13:46

Mods closed my question misunderstanding that it is about null reference exception. The question is more about AddSigningCredentials. — Jonas Arcangel, Jan 30 '21 at 23:37
I found the solution. I needed to add services.AddApiAuthorization(); in ConfigureServices in Startup.cs. — Jonas Arcangel, Jan 31 '21 at 00:05
