Remarks

Your app must be configured for OAuth with schema activation. The scheme must be the first part of the url, ie if your oauth redirection url starts with for instance myappscheme://signin/, the scheme would be myappscheme. Note that http(s) schemes are not supported here.

If your app is packaged, in your app's Package.appxmanifest under Declarations, add a Protocol declaration and add the scheme you registered for your application's oauth redirect url under "Name".

If your app is unpackaged, make sure you register the application for protocol activation. 

try
{
    Microsoft.Windows.AppLifecycle.ActivationRegistrationManager.RegisterForProtocolActivation("myappscheme", "Assets\\Square150x150Logo.scale-100", "My App Name", null);
    var result = await WebAuthenticator.AuthenticateAsync(authorizeUri, callbackUri, cancellationToken);
}
finally
{
    Microsoft.Windows.AppLifecycle.ActivationRegistrationManager.UnregisterForProtocolActivation("myappscheme", null);
}
