Issue Comments Have no Effect with App Permissions

[afrazkhan]

Everything works great with github.TOKEN, but when using a Github App (to get the approval team expansion working), approval comments are never picked up from the created issue. Issues are created (and even closed when cancelling the job) just fine, but the pipelines never continue after an approval message.

It's likely a missing permissions, and the event permission Issue comment seems like an obvious necessity, but even adding that didn't help matters.

Hi @afrazkhan

I am using this issue with app tokens, but don't see this happening. Could you please help me with the job permissions and GH app roles?

I know that this issue is quite old, and maybe the problem is resolved. If your problem is resolved, please close this issue.
Apologies for the delay in reply.
