Visual Studio hangs when creating Azure App Service


Had the same issue, turned out I hadn't installed Azure SDK, you'd think there would be some kind of error message, but no. Installing the SDK fixed issue


I did the steps below to resolve the issue.

  1. Login to your Azure account
  2. Manually create an app service (use any dummy app service name). The service plan and resource group will be created while you're creating this app service
  3. Once you see the dummy app service created on your Azure dashboard (it will take around 1-2 minutes), open your visual studio from your pc, create your web project and check api service

--- This time, the service plan and resource group will be brought in.---

  1. Click "Create" to create your "real" web/api project in Azure
  2. Now you can remove the dummy service from Azure


I had the same problem. It started to work after I logged into the Azure Dashboard and manually created an App Services Web App.
