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.
- Login to your Azure account
- 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
- 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.---
- Click "Create" to create your "real" web/api project in Azure
- 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.
