I am following a series of instructions to deploy a mobile backend using Azure Mobile Services. As part of that workflow I get to download a personalized backend app which downloads as Visual studio solution. It builds fine and the next step is to publish it to Azure.

Instead of seeing the choice below (Microsoft Azure App Service) I am seeing 2 different choices

  • Microsoft Azure Web Apps, or
  • Microsoft Azure API Apps (Preview).

Publishing a Mobile Service .net backend to Azure

So, I chose the closest option (Web Apps) provided and it logs me into Azure and in a box which reports existing web apps I see none. Yet I've deployed a mobile app in the Azure portal earlier.

In some of what I've been reading online it mentions a Publisher profile. I am just a bit stumped by not getting the "Microsoft Azure App Service" choice when I go to publish my backend to the cloud.

Here is the tutorial/guide which I am following (January 2016). Perhaps the VS/Azure integration has changed since then or maybe I've more configuration steps missing. Azure .NET mobile backend using Azure Mobile Services Any guidance would be hugely welcome. At this stage I am stuck as far as what I need to do to get my mobile backend published to Azure.

You have got an older version of the Azure SDK installed. The latest version of the Azure SDK provides the Azure App Service publish dialog.

I think I've solved this for now. I was able to download a publish profile from the Azure Console which I could import within the "publish" dialog in VS2015. I now have the mobile app up and running in Azure.
