| There was an error exchanging the authorization code for a token. | The Docusign platform was unable to exchange the authorization code for an access token. This can be caused by:- An invalid token URL in the extension app manifest
- An invalid or expired authorization code returned by the API service or the identity provider
- A network or internet issue when the Docusign platform attempted to exchange the authorization code for an access token
- The authorization service or identity provider service not being available | * Check the [Token URL](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/register/use-form/integration-details#update-connection-settings) in the connection settings or the [connections.params.customConfig.tokenUrl](/extension-apps/extension-app-reference/app-manifest-reference/connection#connection-custom-configuration-schema) in the extension app manifest and make sure that the value is correct.
* Check the authorized user's account with the API service or identity provider, and make sure that the user has permissions for all of the [Scopes](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/register/use-form/integration-details#update-connection-settings) specified in the connection settings or the [scopes](/extension-apps/extension-app-reference/app-manifest-reference/connection#connection-parameters-schema) specified in the extension app manifest.
* Confirm that the authorization service or identity provider service is running.
* Confirm that the API service or identity provider firewall is configured to allow requests from Docusign IP addresses. See [Firewall configuration](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/it-infrastructure/network-configuration#firewall-configuration) for details. |

## Errors caused by an ad blocker

### Description

When you try to install an extension app to your account in the [App Center](/extension-apps/extension-apps-101/app-center) or uninstall an app, this error message is displayed:

`We encountered an unexpected error. Reload the page and try again.`

### Cause

This issue can occur when your device or network is running an ad blocker.

### Resolution

Either disable the ad blocker, or add [these domains](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/it-infrastructure/network-configuration#ad-blocker-configuration) to the allowed list for the ad blocker.

If disabling the ad blocker or adding the domains to the allowed list doesn't resolve the issue, please visit the [Docusign Developer Community](https://community.docusign.com/developer-59) for information and assistance.

## Next steps

* Find out how to [test an extension app](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/test).
* Get details about the structure of the [extension app manifest](/extension-apps/extension-app-reference/app-manifest-reference).
* Retrieve [logs](/extension-apps/troubleshooting/review-logs) of extension app installations and other activity.
