Azure WebJobs SDK exception: Forbidden when running application

Question

I've got a .NET Core application that I need to run on a Mac (11.3.1) for development. The same app runs fine on Windows and apart from the OS, the only difference is that on Mac I have to use Azurite for the storage emulation (on Windows the emulation is done using Azure Storage emulator).

The libraries versions we're using:

• Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs 3.0.27
• Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions 4.0.1
• Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage 4.0.4
• Azurite (via VSCode Extension) 3.12.0

I have very little experience with the Azure tools and, from what I can tell, the required configuration for it to run is done correctly with the proper connection string set.

The problem I'm having is when I run the application via dotnet run I get the following error:

When looking for a solution I've found this question here on SO, and although the error message is very similar, I wasn't able to solve the problem with the proposed solution.

Thanks.
