php - Laravel 11: "Method IlluminateAuthRequestGuard::viaRemember does not exist" using Sanctum - Stack Overfl

I am working with Laravel 11, and I'm using Sanctum for API authentication. However, I am encountering the error:

Method Illuminate\Auth\RequestGuard::viaRemember does not exist.

This error occurs due to the inclusion of \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class in my app\bootstrap\app.php file.

Removing AuthenticateSession::class from the middleware to bypass the error, but I’m unsure if this is the correct solution.

Here's how my app\bootstrap\app.php looks:

<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__ . '/../routes/web.php',
        api: __DIR__ . '/../routes/api.php',
        commands: __DIR__ . '/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->statefulApi();
        $middleware->group('web', [
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,  // Problematic line
        ]);
        $middleware->group('api', [
            \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
        ]);
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        //
    })->create();

I need to resolve this issue with AuthenticateSession::class while ensuring that Sanctum-based authentication works correctly in Laravel 11
