GitHub App authentication for GitHub packages

Body

The documentation notes using a PAT for GitHub Packages authentication. I'm trying the same thing but with a GitHub App, which has the packages permissions as well. However, when trying to push to the registry I get the denied: permission_denied: installation not allowed to Write organization package error. I've tried pushing with a PAT and that seems to work, locally as I didn't try this in the Action yet but pretty sure that would work too. After pushing with the PAT and linking the repository, I've tried again with an App but still can't push (initially I got not allowed to Create and now I get not allowed to Write).

Is it not possible to push to the GitHub Packages registry from a GitHub App token?

This seems to block using tokens from the GitHub Vault Secrets Engine: martinbaillie/vault-plugin-secrets-github#115. Which is really unfortunate...

Also experiencing same issue with this. Granted read:packages and write:packages to the app, but the app token unable to push to the GHCR.

I noticed this from tokens from Jenkins Github branch source plugin is unable to push to GHCR.

Then, I attempted to issue a token using GitHub official method. Sign JWT, exchange it to the token, login to docker, try to push. Of course, it failed.

Even if I grant all permission to App, it still fails to push to the repository. Still says denied: permission_denied: installation not allowed to Write organization package

Any news on that front?

We just want to install npm packages from another repo :/

I have been struggling with this for a few days now. I want to upload to github packages from jenkins using github app credentials. Has anybody managed to get this working?
