There is a Salesforce limitation that prevents the creation of new Connected Apps through both UI and API, except during package installation. To enable the creation of the connected app, you must request Salesforce Support. Salesforce recommends using External Client Apps (ECA) for new integrations. The MAS debug tool, which uses username-password flow, is not supported by ECA. Current features are not impacted by the change; however, only new customer developments utilizing MAS debug tool is affected.
