May be you are using Jwt version 5.0.0.0 or above. I have faced the same issue before.

The new version of JWT handler accepts Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens namespace.

var tokenDescriptor = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityTokenDescriptor
            {
                Subject = claimsIdentity,
                Audience = allowedAudience,
                Issuer = issuerName,
                Expires = DateTime.MaxValue,
                SigningCredentials = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SigningCredentials(
                    new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SymmetricSecurityKey(symmetricKey), //symmetric key
                    System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256Signature,
                    System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityAlgorithms.Sha256Digest)
            };

            var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
            var token = tokenHandler.CreateToken(tokenDescriptor);
